How to Install Organizr on OpenBSD

Organizr is a powerful and customizable dashboard for all your web apps. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Organizr on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we install and configure Organizr, you need to have the following:

• An OpenBSD server.
• A web server (Nginx or Apache).
• PHP installed.
• A database server (MySQL or MariaDB).

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install the required dependencies for Organizr on OpenBSD. To do this, run the following command:

pkg_add php php-pdo_mysql

This will install PHP and the PDO MySQL extension.

Step 2: Download Organizr

Next, we need to download Organizr from Github. You can either download it manually or use the following command to clone it directly:

git clone https://github.com/causefx/Organizr.git /var/www/organizr

Step 3: Configure Nginx or Apache

You need to configure your web server to serve Organizr. In this tutorial, we will be using Nginx. If you are using Apache, the configuration steps will be similar.

Create a new server block for Organizr:

vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;
    root /var/www/organizr;
    index index.php index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
}

Save and exit the file. Then, enable this configuration by creating a symlink:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Step 4: Configure Organizr

Now, we need to create a new database and user for Organizr. You can use the following command to create a database and user in MySQL:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE organizr;
CREATE USER 'organizr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON organizr.* TO 'organizr'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Update the Organizr configuration file:

cp /var/www/organizr/config.example.php /var/www/organizr/config.php
vim /var/www/organizr/config.php

Update the following lines in the configuration file:

// Database settings
$organizr["db"]["host"] = "localhost";
$organizr["db"]["database"] = "organizr";
$organizr["db"]["username"] = "organizr";
$organizr["db"]["password"] = "password";

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Test Organizr

Restart Nginx to apply the changes:

service nginx restart

You should now be able to access Organizr by visiting your server's IP address or domain name in your browser:

http://your_domain.com

Organizr will prompt you to create an admin user. Follow the prompts to set up your admin account, and you're all set!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Organizr on OpenBSD. Now you can configure Organizr to your liking and access all your web applications in one place.
