How to Install Tine - Community Edition on Void Linux

Tine - Community Edition is an open-source groupware platform that provides email, contact, calendar, and task management functionalities. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Tine - Community Edition on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing Tine - Community Edition, we need to install the required dependencies. Open the Terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install mariadb mariadb-dev php php-fpm php-mysql php-mysqli php-gd php-mbstring php-dom nginx

This command will install the required dependencies, including the webserver, database, and PHP modules.

Step 2: Install MariaDB

Next, we will install MariaDB, which is required for the Tine - Community Edition. Run the following command to install MariaDB:

sudo xbps-install mariadb mariadb-dev

Once the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time by running the following command:

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

Step 3: Configure MariaDB

The next step is to configure MariaDB. Run the following command to access the MariaDB shell:

sudo mysql -u root

Once you are in the MariaDB shell, create a new database and user for Tine - Community Edition by running the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE tine20;
CREATE USER 'tine20user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'tine20password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tine20.* to 'tine20user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

This command will create a new database named "tine20" and a new user named "tine20user" with a password of "tine20password". We also granted all privileges for the new user to the Tine - Community Edition database.

Step 4: Install Tine - Community Edition

Now, we will install Tine - Community Edition. First, navigate to your webserver's document root directory:

cd /var/www/htdocs/

Then, download the Tine - Community Edition source code by using the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/tine20/tine20.git

After the download is complete, rename the tine20 directory to tine and navigate into it by running the following commands:

sudo mv tine20 tine
cd tine

Now, install the Tine - Community Edition by running the following command:

sudo ./bin/doctrine-cli.php setup --dbms=mysql --dbhost=localhost --dbuser=tine20user --dbpass=tine20password

If you encounter any errors during the installation, refer to the official Tine - Community Edition documentation for further troubleshooting.

Step 5: Configure Nginx

Now that we have installed Tine - Community Edition, we need to configure Nginx to serve the application. Run the following command to open the Nginx configuration file in the Nano text editor:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Add the following lines of code to the configuration file after the server_tokens off; line:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}

Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X.

Finally, restart the Nginx and PHP-FPM services by running the following commands:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/nginx /var/service
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/php-fpm /var/service

Step 6: Access Tine - Community Edition
