Tutorial: How to Install Juntagrico on Void Linux

juntagrico.org/">Juntagrico is a management system for community-supported agriculture (CSA) projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Juntagrico on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1 - Update Packages

Start by updating the package list and upgrading the existing packages. To do this, open your terminal and type:

sudo xbps-install -Suy

This will update all the packages to the latest version available for your Void Linux system.

Step 2 - Install Required Dependencies

Before we start installing Juntagrico, we need to install some dependencies required by the software. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo xbps-install -S git mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server mariadb-libs mariadb-dev mariadb-plugin-auth-pam \
php php-apcu php-ctype php-curl php-dom php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-mysqli php-pdo_mysql php-posix \
php-session php-simplexml php-tokenizer php-zip php-zlib php7-pecl-imagick make apache2 php7-apache2

This command will install Git, MariaDB, PHP, Apache, and various other dependencies required by Juntagrico.

Step 3 - Configure MariaDB

Next, we need to configure the MariaDB database server. Start by enabling the MariaDB service and starting it by running the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mariadb /var/service/
sudo sv start mariadb

After MariaDB has started, we should set up a root password for the database so that we can log in to it later. Run the following command and choose a secure password when prompted:

mysql_secure_installation

Finally, we need to set up a database and a user for Juntagrico to use. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted. Once you're logged in to the MariaDB prompt, type the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE juntagrico;
CREATE USER 'juntagrico'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'juntagrico_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON juntagrico.* TO 'juntagrico'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

These commands will create a new database called "juntagrico", create a user named "juntagrico" with the password "juntagrico_password", grant all privileges to the new user for the "juntagrico" database, and then flush the privileges to make them available immediately.

Step 4 - Clone Juntagrico Git Repository

Now that we have all the required dependencies and have configured the MariaDB server, we can move on to the Juntagrico installation itself. First, we need to clone the Juntagrico Git repository. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo git clone https://github.com/juntagrico/juntagrico.git /var/www/localhost/htdocs/

This command will clone the Juntagrico repository to /var/www/localhost/htdocs/, the default web root directory for Apache on Void Linux.

Step 5 - Configure Juntagrico

For Juntagrico to work correctly, we need to adjust some settings in its configuration files. First, edit the database configuration file at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/src/config/database.ini and set the database connection details to match the "juntagrico" database we created earlier. Replace the placeholders in the [database] section with your own MariaDB credentials:

[database]
host = "localhost"
username = "juntagrico"
password = "juntagrico_password"
db = "juntagrico"

Save the file when you are done.

Next, we need to create an Apache virtual host for Juntagrico. Run the following command to create a new configuration file for the virtual host:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/juntagrico.conf

Add the following lines to the new file:

Alias /juntagrico /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/>
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

Finally, restart Apache with the following command to apply the changes:

sudo sv restart apache2

Step 6 - Install Juntagrico

We're almost done - it's time to install Juntagrico! Start by navigating to the Juntagrico installation directory:

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/

Then, run the installation script by typing:

sudo make install

This script will install all the required dependencies, set up the database, and configure Juntagrico. Once the installation is complete, you can access Juntagrico by navigating to http://your_server_ip/juntagrico in your web browser.

Congratulations! You now have Juntagrico installed and running on your Void Linux server.

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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
