Lavagna is an open-source web-based project management tool that allows users to create and manage projects, tasks, and timelines. Installing Lavagna on EndeavourOS Latest is a straightforward process that requires a few simple steps. This tutorial will walk you through the installation process.

Prerequisites

Before installing Lavagna, there are a few prerequisites that you need to meet. These include:

• A VPS or dedicated server running EndeavourOS Latest
• A SSH client such as PuTTY
• A user account with sudo privileges

Install Required Packages

The first step is to install the required packages. To do this, log in to your server with your SSH client and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S mariadb mariadb-clients apache php php-fpm php-mysql php-gd php-intl php-apcu php-redis redis composer npm libjpeg-turbo libpng libzip

Configure MariaDB

Once the packages are installed, you need to configure MariaDB. You can do this by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts to set a root password and answer a few questions about your MariaDB configuration.

Create a Database for Lavagna

After configuring MariaDB, you need to create a database for Lavagna. You can do this by running the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password you set up earlier. Then, run the following commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges to the user:

CREATE DATABASE lavagna;
CREATE USER 'lavagna'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lavagna.* TO 'lavagna'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.

Install Lavagna

The next step is to download the latest version of Lavagna from the official website:

sudo mkdir /var/www/lavagna
cd /var/www/lavagna
sudo wget https://lavagna.io/downloads/lavagna-0.7.6.zip
sudo unzip lavagna-0.7.6.zip
sudo mv lavagna-0.7.6/* .
sudo mv lavagna-0.7.6/.* .
sudo rm -rf lavagna-0.7.6.zip lavagna-0.7.6

Configure Apache

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve Lavagna. You can do this by creating a new Apache virtual host. Open the following file in your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/lavagna/web"
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
    <Directory "/var/www/lavagna/web">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/lavagna-error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/lavagna-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

Replace 'ServerName' and 'ServerAlias' with your domain name or IP address. Save the file and exit.

Start Services

After configuring Apache, you need to start the services:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
sudo systemctl start redis

You can also enable these services to start automatically at boot time:

sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable redis

Finish Installation

Finally, open your web browser and navigate to your domain name or IP address. You should see the Lavagna installation page. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
