Looking for a CRM? Yetiforce is probably the best

A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a type of application-oriented to everything concerning the relationship between customers and company. Similarly, thanks to CRM can collect customer data to predict some of their needs and get their loyalty. In this sense, a CRM also ensures a great marketing policy.

In conclusion, we can say that companies that use CRM solutions generate more sales opportunities, streamlining management, with budgets updated in real time and optimized sales processes.

On the other hand, Yetiforce is a CRM of Polish origin. It has all the features expected by software of its kind, however, is more powerful than most. In the website of the project states that is “the best CRM that exists”, and is that thanks to more than 100 modules available make it one of the most solid.

In the same way, it is open source and allows us to examine its source code to know how it is done. Besides, it is easy to audit.

Let us install Yetiforce on CentOS 7.

Install Yetiforce on CentOS 7

1. Install Apache and PHP 7.2

First, we must install the Apache web server to run Yetiforce.

In a terminal interface, run the following:

:~$ su
:~# yum install httpd

Then open port 80 in the CentOS firewall.

:~# firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
success
:~# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Now, you have to install PHP 7.2. Since PHP 7.2 is not available in CentOS, it is necessary to use another repository.

:~# yum install epel-release yum-utils
:~# rpm -Uhv https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
:~# yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72

Once you have done this, you can install PHP 7.2 and the required modules for Yetiforce.

:~# yum install php php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-xml php-xmlrpc php-gd php-mbstring php-imap php-json php-xdebug php-posix php-uopz php-bcmath php-zip php-apcu php-ldap php-soap php-opcache php-intl php-imagick

In order to test PHP, create a new file on /var/www/html/ and add the following:

:~# yum install nano
:~# nano /var/www/html/test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Start the Apache service.

:~# systemctl enable httpd
:~# systemctl start httpd

Now, open a web browser and go to http://your-server/test.php and you will see this.

2.- Install MySQL 8 on CentOS 7

Now you have to install MySQL. The problem is that the version you bring in the official repositories is very old, better use version 8.

:~# rpm -Uvh https://repo.mysql.com/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm
:~# yum --enablerepo=mysql80-community install mysql-community-server

Then you have to start the service.

:~# systemctl enable mysqld
:~# systemctl start mysqld

After that, you need to find out the temporary password.

:~# grep "A temporary password" /var/log/mysqld.log
A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: 9iyw6>sX:jf5

Now, you have to use the mysql_secure_installation script to secure MySQL.

:~# mysql_secure_installation

You will be asked several questions to improve the security of the program:

Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

Now, you have to create a user and database for Yetiforce.

:~# mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE yetiforce;
> CREATE USER 'yetiforceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your-password';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yetiforce.* TO 'yetiforceuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 
> exit;

Now, you can continue the process.

3.- Install Yetiforce

First, download Yetiforce.

:~# yum install wget unzip
:~# wget https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/releases/download/5.1.0/YetiForceCRM-5.1.0-complete.zip

Next, decompress it.

:~# unzip YetiForceCRM-5.1.0-complete.zip -d /var/www/html/

Next, set the right permissions to the folder.

:~# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

NOTE: delete the .zip file.

Yetiforce requires external libraries that we can install using Composer.

And install it as the regular user:

:~# exit
:~$ composer require phpunit/php-invoker

Now, create a new virtual host for Yetiforce.

:~$ su
:~# nano nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/yetiforce.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80> 
  ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
  ServerName your_domain.com
  ServerAlias www.your_domain.com
  
<Directory /var/www/html/> 
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory> 
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/your_domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/your_domain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain with yours. And restart apache.

:~# systemctl restart httpd

After that, we need to complete the installation.

4.- Complete the yetiforce installation using the web interface

Now, open your web browser and access your server to complete the installation.

Then, accept the terms of the license.

After that, you have to type the database credentials and admin information.

Next, confirm the configuration settings.

Then, enter the company details.

Next, the installation will begin.

When the process is finished you will see the Yetiforce dashboard.

It is good to remember that, MariaDB is a MySQL fork that arises to protect the community after the purchase of Sun MycroSystem by Oracle. In addition, it is highly compatible with MySQL. However, it has evolved so well that it is now considered an independent application with its own personality. But it lacked a professional solution for companies.

MariaDB Enterprise

It was during the MariaDB OpenWorks that the announcement was made. MariaDB enterprise is a fact and becomes a new alternative for enterprises. Among its main features are:

• High-End Features and Tools: There will be special features for the enterprise version because the needs of companies are different from the community version.
• Security, Performance and Scalability for Production Out of the Box: MariaDB promises that by default high ideal security measures are applied so that the company can protect its data effectively.
• Increased Quality Assurance: Quality standards will remain as high as possible. Therefore, specialized enhancements for high performance are incorporated.
• Stability at Scale: Of course, MariaDB Enterprise will adapt to the different workloads that the company may subject it to. It will evolve according to the size of the database.
• Release Integrity: The verification and distribution of binaries will be guaranteed so as not to modify them during their life cycle.

In addition to all these features, there are others for clustering: deeper code auditing, faster and more reliable backups for large databases, and end-to-end encryption.

When will it be available?

MariaDB Enterprise is currently in the final development phase. During the MariaDB Openworks, it was said that it would be available by spring 2019. So it should be ready for download soon.

On the other hand, you can help with the development by testing and detecting bugs following this link.

Odoo is an open source integrated ERP system currently produced by the Belgian company Odoo S.A.

In the first place, what is a ERP? The ERP (Enterprise resource planning) systems are management information systems that integrate and manage many of the businesses associated with production operations and distribution aspects of a company engaged in the production of goods or services. In short, it is a administration system.

Some Odoo modules include inventory management, finance, administration, sales and more. In addition, you can activate the modules developed by community only necessaries for your organization ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of it.

Odoo is compatible with Linux and today i will install it on Debian. It’s easy.

0. Prerequisites

To install Odoo 12 on Debian 9 does not require high knowledge of Linux but a basic knowledge of terminal use. In addition to a user who can run commands as root user.

Under those circumstances, it is convenient to add that, Odoo requires PostgreSQL and Python 3.5.

Let’s start.

1. Upgrade the system

Before starting the installation of applications on our server, it is convenient to update all packages. This in order to have all the security patches and with them make the system more secure and stable. Run:

:~$ su
:~# apt update && apt upgrade

With this you will have Debian updated.

2. Install PostgreSQL

Odoo uses PostgreSQL as a database handler. Fortunately it is found in the official Debian repositories so its installation is easy.

:~# apt install postgresql

Once the installation is finished you have to enable the service so that it starts as soon as the system boots.

:~# systemctl enable postgresql

Then, you can check the status of the service.

:~# systemctl status postgresql

As you can see, PostgreSQL has been installed.

3. Install Odoo

By default, Odoo is not in the official Debain 9 repositories, so add its external repository to install it via APT. It is the fastest, easiest and most efficient way to install Odoo. First, run:

:~# wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -

Then,

:~# echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list

Now, refresh the APT package list:

:~# apt update

Finally install Odoo:

:~# apt install odoo

At the end of the installation it is convenient to check the status of the service, to check that it is running.

:~# sytemctl status odoo

As can been noted, everything is OK.

4.- Access from the web browser

At this point, you can access the web interface, however, you need to configure a last point. The password of the user. Open /etc/odoo/odoo.conf file.

:~# nano /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

And set your admin password.

Now, restart the odoo service.

:~# systemctl restart odoo

Finally, you can access from the web browser. Go to http://IP_SERVER:8069. And you will see this.

Enter all the requirements they ask you and click on Create Database Button.

Remeber the password is the same that you defined on odoo.conf file.

After that, you will see the screen where you can install the modules that make up the system.

All that’s left is for you to install the modules you need and enjoy it.

Conclusion

Odoo is a great flexible system that allows you to install modules that work independently but together form a powerful tool for your company.
