How to Install OpenProject on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to install OpenProject on Clear Linux Latest. OpenProject is an open-source project management software that allows you to manage projects, tasks, and teams. Clear Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution that is optimized for Intel-based systems.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

• A Clear Linux Latest installation.
• A sudo user.

Step 1: Update the Operating System

Before we start installing OpenProject, let's update the operating system:

sudo clr-update

Then, reboot the system:

sudo reboot

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

OpenProject requires PostgreSQL as the backend database. So, let's install PostgreSQL:

sudo swupd bundle-add postgresql

After installing, enable and start the PostgreSQL service:

sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql

Step 3: Install Ruby and Bundler

OpenProject requires Ruby and Bundler. So, let's install them:

sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
sudo gem install bundler

Step 4: Install OpenProject

Now, we are ready to install OpenProject. Let's first add the OpenProject repository:

sudo rpm --import https://dl.packager.io/srv/openproject/openproject/key
sudo swupd bundle-add ca-certificates
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb https://dl.packager.io/srv/openproject/ce/clearlinux/version/10.x/latest stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list"

Then, update the repository and install OpenProject:

sudo swupd bundle-add apt-transport-https
sudo swupd bundle-add software-defined-cockpit
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add openproject

Step 5: Configure OpenProject

After the installation, the OpenProject configuration file needs to be modified to connect to PostgreSQL.

Open the configuration file /etc/openproject/database.yml with an editor:

sudo nano /etc/openproject/database.yml

In the file, add the following lines under production:

  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: openproject
  username: openproject
  password: <your_password_here>
  host: localhost

Replace <your_password_here> with the desired password.

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Initialize OpenProject

We are almost there. Now, initialize OpenProject:

sudo openproject configure

During the configurations, enter your email address, the password for the administration account, and confirm the PostgreSQL information.

Step 7: Start OpenProject

Now, start the OpenProject service:

sudo systemctl enable openproject
sudo systemctl start openproject

Finally, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see the OpenProject login page.
