How to Install GarageHQ on NetBSD

GarageHQ is a web-based tool for managing and tracking your garage projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GarageHQ on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we install GarageHQ, we need to make sure that our system meets the following requirements:

A running instance of NetBSD
A web server (Apache or Nginx)
PHP 7.1 or higher
A MySQL database

If you do not have these installed already, follow the instructions for each component first.

Installing Dependencies

Before installing GarageHQ, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. To do this, we can use the pkgin package manager.

Update the package repository:
```
sudo pkgin update
```

Install the required packages:

sudo pkgin install git php-gd php-curl php-mbstring php-mysqli

Installing GarageHQ

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can proceed with installing GarageHQ.

Clone the GarageHQ repository from GitHub:
```
sudo git clone https://github.com/deuxfleurs/GarageHQ.git /var/www/garagehq
```
This will clone the latest version of GarageHQ into the /var/www/garagehq directory.

Edit the config.php file to configure your database settings:

sudo nano /var/www/garagehq/config.php

Change the following lines to match your MySQL database settings:

define('SQL_HOST', 'localhost');
define('SQL_USER', 'user');
define('SQL_PASS', 'password');
define('SQL_DB', 'garagehq');

Create the MySQL database and user:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password, then run the following commands:

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

Remember to replace password with a secure password of your own choosing.

Import the SQL schema:
```
mysql -u garagehq -p garagehq < /var/www/garagehq/setup.sql
```
Enter the user password you set up in step 3 when prompted.
Change the ownership of the GarageHQ directory to your web server user:
```
sudo chown -R www /var/www/garagehq
```
Restart your web server to apply the changes:
```
sudo systemctl restart httpd
```

That's it! You can now access GarageHQ by navigating to the URL of your web server followed by /garagehq. For example:

http://localhost/garagehq
