How to Install ProjeQtOr on nixOS Latest

ProjeQtOr is an open source project management software that is designed to help project managers monitor and manage their projects from start to finish. It offers several features, including project planning, resource management, time tracking, and much more. In this guide, we'll show you how to install ProjeQtOr on nixOS Latest.

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Update nixOS Package Manager

The first step is to update your nixOS package manager to make sure it's up-to-date. To do this, open a terminal window and enter the following command:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

This command will upgrade all of your currently installed packages to the latest versions.

Step 2: Install ProjeQtOr Dependencies

Now, let's install ProjeQtOr's dependencies. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:

sudo nix-env -i libiconv postgresql php interpreter nginx

This command will install the required dependencies for ProjeQtOr.

Step 3: Download and Configure ProjeQtOr

Next, let's download the latest version of ProjeQtOr from the official website. Enter the following command to download the latest version:

sudo wget https://www.projeqtor.org/download/projeqtor_10.4.tar.gz 

Once the download is complete, extract the file using this command:

sudo tar -xvf projeqtor_10.4.tar.gz 

Now that the files are extracted, let's configure ProjeQtOr to work with our nixOS setup. Navigate to the directory where we extracted the files using this command:

cd projeqtor_10.4

Now, copy the config_ee.php file to config.php using this command:

sudo cp includes/config/config_ee.php includes/config/config.php

This command will create a new config.php file that we can edit to configure ProjeQtOr.

Step 4: Configure ProjeQtOr

To configure ProjeQtOr, open the config.php file using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano includes/config/config.php

Update the DB_HOST field with the IP address of your PostgreSQL server.

Next, set the DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD fields with the username and password of your PostgreSQL user.

Once you have updated the necessary fields, save and close the file.

Step 5: Install ProjeQtOr

Now we're ready to install ProjeQtOr. To do this, enter the following command:

sudo cp -rf . /var/www/projeqtor

This command will copy the files to the /var/www/projeqtor directory.

Step 6: Configure Nginx

Now, we need to configure Nginx to serve ProjeQtOr. Open the default Nginx server configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Now, within this file, look for the server directive and add the following block:

server {

    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    
    root /var/www/projeqtor;
    index index.php index.html;
    
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }
    
    location ~* \.(php|html)$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
    
}

Make sure you replace example.com with your own domain name.

Once you have updated the file, save and close it.

Step 7: Restart Nginx

The final step is to restart Nginx to apply the new configuration. To do this, enter the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Now, you're ready to access ProjeQtOr by visiting http://yourserver/ in your web browser.
