How to Install ChiefOnboarding on FreeBSD Latest

ChiefOnboarding is a simple, yet powerful employee onboarding software that helps businesses streamline their onboarding process. If you're using FreeBSD and want to install ChiefOnboarding on your server, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Prerequisites

• FreeBSD Latest with root access
• Apache or Nginx web server installed and running
• MySQL or MariaDB database installed and running
• PHP 7.0+ installed and running

Step 1: Download ChiefOnboarding

First, head over to the ChiefOnboarding website at https://chiefonboarding.com and log in to your account. If you don't have an account yet, sign up for a free trial.

Once you're logged in, click on the "Download" button and select "FreeBSD" from the dropdown list. This will download a tarball file containing the ChiefOnboarding files.

Step 2: Extract the Files

Once the download is complete, use the following command to extract the tarball file in your desired directory:

tar -xvzf /path/to/chiefonboarding.tar.gz -C /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory/

Replace /path/to/chiefonboarding.tar.gz with the actual path to your downloaded tarball file and /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory/ with the desired directory where you want to install ChiefOnboarding.

Step 3: Create a Database

Next, you need to create a new database for ChiefOnboarding. Use the following command to log in to MySQL as the root user:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted, then execute the following command to create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE chiefonboarding_db;

Replace chiefonboarding_db with your desired database name.

Step 4: Configure PHP

ChiefOnboarding requires some PHP extensions to function properly. Use the following command to install the required extensions:

pkg install php74-pdo php74-zip php74-curl php74-openssl php74-mbstring php74-tokenizer php74-xmlwriter php74-session

This will install the necessary PHP extensions.

Step 5: Configure Apache or Nginx

If you're using Apache, create a new virtual host for ChiefOnboarding with the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        DocumentRoot /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory/public
        ServerName chiefonboarding.example.com
        <Directory /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory/public>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace [email protected] with your email address, /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory with the actual path to your ChiefOnboarding directory, and chiefonboarding.example.com with your desired domain name.

If you're using Nginx, add the following configuration to your existing Nginx configuration file:

server {
    listen 80;
    root /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory/public;
    server_name chiefonboarding.example.com;
 
    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    }
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Replace /path/to/chiefonboarding/directory with the actual path to your ChiefOnboarding directory, and chiefonboarding.example.com with your desired domain name.

Step 6: Configure ChiefOnboarding

Finally, navigate to your ChiefOnboarding installation directory in your web browser and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the software. During the setup process, you will need to enter your MySQL database details and create an administrator account.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured ChiefOnboarding on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using ChiefOnboarding to streamline your employee onboarding process.
