Wekan is a popular open-source Kanban board application that allows you to manage tasks and monitor progress in real-time. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wekan on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing Wekan, it is recommended that you update your system to the latest version:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Wekan requires Node.js and MongoDB to run. We will install these dependencies now.
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apk add nodejs npm
To install MongoDB, run the following command:
sudo apk add mongodb
We will now download and install Wekan.
First, download the latest version of Wekan by running the following command:
wget https://releases.wekan.team/wekan-5.90.tar.gz
Next, extract the downloaded file by running the following command:
tar -xvzf wekan-5.90.tar.gz
Now, navigate to the extracted folder by running the following command:
cd wekan-5.90
Then, install Wekan by running the following command:
npm install
Before we start the Wekan application, we need to configure MongoDB.
To start MongoDB, run the following command:
sudo service mongodb start
Next, create a new MongoDB user by running the following command:
mongo
> use admin
> db.createUser({ user: "wekanuser", pwd: "wekanpass", roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ] })
Now, configure Wekan to connect to MongoDB by running the following command:
export MONGO_URL=mongodb://wekanuser:wekanpass@localhost:27017/wekandb
Finally, start Wekan by running the following command:
npm start
