So, let’s install OrangeScrum on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

1. Upgrade the system

First of all, it is convenient to update the system. This ensures that all security updates are installed.

:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

The consequence of doing this step is that you will have the safety patches installed and your system will be more reliable and safer.

2. Install Apache web server

To install OrangeScrum on Ubuntu 18.04 you need an HTTP web server. There are many options, but the most recommended for this program is Apache web server.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Next, enable and start the apache service:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

Next, you can check the apache service.

:~$ sudo systemctl status apache2

Now, open your web browser and go to HTTP://IP_SERVER. If you this something like this, then, apache is correctly installed.

Now is PHP’s turn.

3. Install PHP

OrangeScrum is developed in PHP. Specifically in CakePHP. Therefore, it is necessary to install this language and its modules. Here I will also install other packages necessary for OrangeScrum to run smoothly.

:~$ sudo apt install unzip wget php7.2 php7.2-bcmath php7.2-cgi php7.2-cli php7.2-common php-curl php7.2-dba php7.2-enchant php7.2-fpm php7.2-gd php7.2-imap php7.2-intl php7.2-ldap php7.2-mbstring php7.2-mysql php7.2-opcache php-imagick php-memcache php7.2-soap php7.2-tidy php7.2-xml php7.2-zip libapache2-mod-php7.2 xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf

Then, you have to edit the PHP configuration file.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

In this file, you have to set this options.

post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 512M
max_input_vars = 5000

Note: To make the process easier, you can press CTRL + W to find exactly the parameter to edit.

Finally, restart apache2.

:~$ sudo systemctl apache2

Now, you can proceed with MariaDB.

4. Install MariaDB

MariaDB is a relational database manager derived from MySQL. To use OrangeScrum correctly you need to install it.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Next, you can set a root password with mysql_secure_installation script. You can also configure other things.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

After defining the root password, you will be asked other questions. I answered N, N, Y, Y.

Next, you have to create the Database and user for OrangeScrum.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE orangescrum;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON orangescrum.* TO 'orangescrumuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'orangescrumbpss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Next, create a file to disable strict mode for MariaDB.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/mysql/conf.d/disable_strict_mode.cnf

And add the following:

[mysqld]
sql_mode="IGNORE_SPACE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Finally, restart MariaDB.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart mariadb

And that’s all for MariaDB.

5. Install OrangeScrum

Now, you can install OrangeScrum. However, first download it.

:~$ cd /tmp
:~$ wget https://www.orangescrum.org/free-download/418ae4d8ef1309695804a7837cd4fc65/ubuntu18-php7 -O orangescrum-ubuntu18-php7.zip

Once the installation is complete, decompress the file.

:~$ unzip orangescrum-ubuntu18-php7.zip

Next, copy the folder to the Apache document root on /var/www/html/

:~$ sudo cp -r orangescrum-orangescrum-ubuntu18-php7 /var/www/html/orangescrum-master

Change the directory to orangescrum-master.

:~$ cd /var/www/html/orangescrum-master

Now, copy the orangeScrum database to the local instance. This is necessary to initialize the database.

:~$ sudo mysql -u orangescrumuser -p orangescrumdb < database.sql

Then, it is necessary to place the MariaDB credentials in the database.php file of OrangeScrum.

:~$ sudo nano app/Config/database.php

And put your credentials.

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

public $default = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
'login' => 'orangescrumuser',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'orangescrumdb',
'prefix' => '',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
);
}

Obviously, replace whatever you have to replace. For example, the password.

Next, it is necessary to set the credentials to the SMTP email server.

:~$ sudo nano app/Config/config.ini.php

And put your information.

Change the owner of the folder. Next, change the permissions.

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/orangescrum-master/
:~$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/orangescrum-master/

And enable the PHP and Apache modules. Finally, restart apache.

:~$ sudo phpenmod mbstring
:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo a2enmod headers
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, you have the complete the installation on the web browser.

6. Accessing to the Web Interface

The last step is to access the web interface through the web browser. To perform the Login process.

Go to HTTP://IP_SERVER/orangescrum-master/

Create the user and then log in.

Then, you will see this.

And that’s it.

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:

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.

SOPlanning is an online planning tool designed to efficiently organize projects and tasks. The applications allow you to have real staff management on the internet via your computer or your phone. You can work by service, and organize your project very simply.

It has an active user community and paid version to increase the support for your company. Thanks to its flexibility it is implemented in many areas from industrial production to sales teams.

As you can see, it’s a pretty interesting application. Let’s install it.

1. Upgrading the system

It’s a good idea to do a complete system update before you start installing various applications. This in order to get the latest security enhancements. To do this, open a Terminal and type:

:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade

By entering your password, you will start downloading and installing the packages. However, the time will take according to your internet connection speed and the number of packages you need to update.

2. Install Apache2+PHP+MariaDB

Yes. You need to have a LAMP server installed. You also need to configure certain things in MariaDB. But first, install Apache2 web server.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

After that, have Apache boot into the system.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2

Next, go to your web browser and access with the IP address of the server. If you see something similar to the image below, apache2 web server has been correctly installed.

http://IP_SERVER

Now it’s PHP’s turn.

To install SOPlanning on Ubuntu Server 18.04 you must use a different version of PHP than the one that comes in the official repositories. This is because SOPlanning does not yet support PHP 7.2 which comes by default in Ubuntu 18.04, to complete the installation you must install PHP 7.1.

In the first place, add the external repository:

:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Then, install all the package for PHP 7.1.

:~$ sudo apt install php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-curl php7.1-json php7.1-cgi php7.1-recode php7.1-sq php7.1-intl libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-gd php7.1-mbstring php7.1 php7.1-common php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-soap php7.1-xml php7.1-intl php7.1-cli php7.1-ldap php7.1-zip php7.1-readline php7.1-imap php7.1-tidy

Finally, install MariaDB.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

When the installation is finished, start and enable the MariaDB Server service.

:~$ sudo systemctl start mariadb
:~$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb

The next thing you need to do is configure MariaDB. In it, you can define the root password and other things. To do this, run the following command:

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

Define the root password, and then answer the questions as follows: Y,N, Y,Y.

Finally, you must create a database and a specific MariaDB user for SOPlanning.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

After you enter the password, you will be in the MariaDB console.

Now to create the database and the dedicated user with the password.

CREATE DATABASE soplanning;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON soplanning.* TO 'usersoplanning'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'soplanningpss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Of course, you can change the database name, username, and password to the ones you think are correct.

3. Install SOPlanning

Now you can install SOPlanning in Ubuntu 18.04. Type in terminal:

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget https://excellmedia.dl.sourceforge.net/project/soplanning/soplanning/v1.42/soplanning-1-42.zip

Now you have to decompress it:

:~$ unzip soplanning-1-42.zip

The next step is to copy the folder to the apache root directory.

:~$ sudo cp -R soplanning /var/www/html/

Then change the folder permissions and the folder owner.

:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/soplanning
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/soplanning/

Before going to the web browser, you must enable the apache rewrite module.

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

4. Accessing to SOPlanning from Browser

Now you can go to your browser and in the path youhttp://IP_SERVER/soplanning/ will see a window like this.

As you can see, on this screen you must enter the data of the previously configured MariaDB instance. In other words, you must enter the Database name, user and password.

When you enter the required data and if all goes well, you should see a screen like this.

Note that on that screen there is a link to log us in and there are also the credentials. Click on the link and log in.

After that, you will see the main screen and you can start working.

as can be seen, installing SOPlanning on Ubuntu Server 18.04 is not a big step, but it does require a basic knowledge of the terminal.
