How to Install Bagisto on OpenBSD

Bagisto is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. It is built on top of the Laravel framework and offers a range of features, such as inventory management, customer management, and payment gateway integrations. In this tutorial, we will walk through how to install Bagisto on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

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

• An OpenBSD server
• PHP 7.3 or higher
• Composer
• Git
• Web server (e.g., Nginx or Apache)

Step 1: Install Required Packages

OpenBSD provides packages via its built-in package manager, known as pkg_add. Therefore, use the following command to install the required packages:

sudo pkg_add php php-pcntl php-mbstring php-xml php-pdo php-mysqli php-json php-curl git unzip

Step 2: Install Composer

Bagisto requires Composer to be installed to manage its dependencies. To install Composer on your server, run the following command:

sudo php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Step 3: Clone Bagisto Repository

Once Composer is installed, we can clone the Bagisto repository using Git. To do this, run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto.git /var/www/html/bagisto

Step 4: Install Bagisto Dependencies

Next, change your working directory to the Bagisto root directory:

cd /var/www/html/bagisto

Now, install the required dependencies using Composer:

sudo composer install --no-dev

Step 5: Configure Your Web Server

Bagisto requires a web server to run. You can use either Nginx or Apache to host Bagisto.

Using Apache

If you are using Apache, create a virtual host file for Bagisto:

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

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName bagisto.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bagisto/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/bagisto>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/www/html/bagisto/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/html/bagisto/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and restart Apache:

sudo apachectl graceful

Using Nginx

If you are using Nginx, create a server block for Bagisto:

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

And add the following:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name bagisto.example.com;

        root /var/www/html/bagisto/public;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_n$
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

        access_log /var/www/html/bagisto/logs/access.log;
        error_log /var/www/html/bagisto/logs/error.log;
}

Save the file, and create a symbolic link to the Nginx sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/bagisto /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bagisto

Restart Nginx:

sudo service nginx restart

Step 6: Set Permissions and Generate Key

Finally, give the appropriate permissions to the Bagisto directories:

sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/html/bagisto
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/bagisto

And generate a new key for the application:

sudo php artisan key:generate
