Need help running Grocy with nginx (Arch Linux LXC)

TheHellSite · 2022-05-30 20:51:19

Hello guys,

I am currently trying to get nginx to serve Grocy.
I already found a guide on how to do this on Debian 11.

debian 11 lxc (working) - source: https://github.com/grocy/grocy/issues/649#issuecomment-740212211)
=======================
    01. apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && reboot

    02. apt install -y nginx sqlite3 php-fpm php-sqlite3 php-gd unzip

    03. wget https://releases.grocy.info/latest

    04. unzip latest -d /var/www/html && rm latest

    05. chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

    06. cp /var/www/html/config-dist.php /var/www/html/data/config.php

    07. check php version for step 7 and 8
        ls /var/run/php/

    08. nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/fastcgi_params
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;

    09. nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        root /var/www/html/public;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
        server_name _;
        location / {
                try_files $uri /index.php;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
        }
}

    10. systemctl restart nginx

Now I would like to do the same on Arch Linux.
I think the only issue is the path for "fastcgi_pass" in step 7 and 8.
I know that my command above will install php8. The folder structure is different than in version 7.x.
I already tried some other paths for "fastcgi_pass"but none of them worked.

arch linux lxc (not working)
==============
    01. pacman -Syu && reboot

    02. pacman -S nginx sqlite php-fpm php-sqlite php-gd unzip

    03. curl https://releases.grocy.info/latest -o latest

    04. unzip latest -d /var/lib/grocy && rm latest

    05. chown -R http:http /var/lib/grocy

    06. cp /var/lib/grocy/config-dist.php /var/lib/grocy/data/config.php

    07. nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/fastcgi_params
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; # I assume this line is making trouble

    08. nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        root /var/www/html/public;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
        server_name _;
        location / {
                try_files $uri /index.php;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; # I assume this line is making trouble
        }
}

    09. systemctl restart nginx php-fpm

Can somebody guide me in the right direction or help me adopt the debian guides config files to php8 on Arch Linux?
Grocy supports php8.

Kind Regards

Thanks. I already checked the docs but just couldn't figure it out...

However after several hours today I finally managed to get it up and running.
Is there anything I could improve in the guide below?

arch linux lxc

    01. pacman -Syu && reboot

    02. pacman -Syu nginx php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-sqlite sqlite unzip wget

    03. systemctl enable --now nginx php-fpm

    04. nano /etc/php/php.ini
        # uncomment the necessary php extensions for grocy...
;extension=gd
;extension=iconv
;extension=intl
;extension=pdo_sqlite
;extension=sqlite3

    05. nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
replace...
    include       mime.types;
with...
    include       mime.types;
    include       sites-available/*;

and... replace...
    keepalive_timeout  65;
with...
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    types_hash_max_size 4096;

    06. wget https://releases.grocy.info/latest

    07. unzip latest -d /var/lib/grocy && rm latest

    08. cp /var/lib/grocy/config-dist.php /var/lib/grocy/data/config.php

    09. chown -R http:http /var/lib/grocy

    10. mkdir /etc/nginx/ssl

    11. openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha512 -days 36500 -nodes -subj "/" -keyout /etc/nginx/ssl/key.pem -out /etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem &> /dev/null

    12. mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available

    13. nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/grocy.conf

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

        try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;

        # default fastcgi_params
        include fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT     $realpath_root;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

    13. systemctl restart nginx php-fpm

    14. visit https://local_ip
