In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Lavagna on Arch Linux.
Lavagna is an open-source digital whiteboard that provides a collaborative virtual workspace for project management, education, design, brainstorming, and other team activities.
Before starting, ensure that your Arch Linux system is up to date.
Lavagna requires the following packages to be installed on your system:
You can install these packages by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm
Once the required packages are installed, clone the Lavagna repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/gablau/lavagna.git
Navigate to the Lavagna directory and install its dependencies by running the following command:
cd lavagna
npm install
Create a .env file in the project root directory and configure it by adding the following environment variables:
# Server configuration
PORT=8080
BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080
PUBLIC_URL=http://localhost:8080
# Database configuration
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:./database.db
Ensure that you set the correct BASE_URL and PUBLIC_URL values for your system.
Finally, start Lavagna by running the following command:
npm start
You can now access Lavagna by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Lavagna on Arch Linux. You can now use Lavagna to collaborate on projects or engage in team activities, all from a single virtual workspace.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
