Tania is an open-source farming management software that helps growers manage their crop production. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Tania on a Void Linux system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To install Docker on your Void Linux system, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S docker
After the installation is complete, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/docker /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/docker-log /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/docker-logrotate /var/service/
sudo sv start docker
To check if Docker is working properly, run the following command:
sudo docker run hello-world
The above command should output a welcome message from Docker.
To install Tania, we will use Docker Compose. Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
First, create a new directory to store Tania's Docker Compose file:
mkdir tania
cd tania
Next, create a file called docker-compose.yml and paste the following code:
version: "3"
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
volumes:
- tania-db:/var/lib/mysql
tania:
image: tanibox/tania
restart: always
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
- db
volumes:
tania-db:
The above Docker Compose configuration defines two services: the MySQL database and the Tania web application. It also maps port 8000 of the container to port 8000 of the host system.
To start Tania, run the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
Docker Compose will download the required images and start the containers. Tania should now be accessible on your system by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:8000.
Upon opening Tania, you will be prompted to create a new user account. After creating an account, you will be redirected to the Tania dashboard, where you can start managing your farm.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Tania on a Void Linux system using Docker Compose. Tania is a powerful farming management tool that can help growers increase their crop production efficiency. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to Tania's official documentation or seek help from the Tania community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
