Nullboard is a minimalist dashboard application that allows you to view and manage tasks, notes, and reminders on a single page. In this tutorial, we'll be showing you how to install Nullboard on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Open your terminal and type the following command to install some required packages:
sudo pacman -Syu git ruby ruby-bundler
Now, we'll clone the Nullboard repository to our system. Type the following command in your terminal to clone the Nullboard repository:
git clone https://github.com/apankrat/nullboard.git
Go to the cloned directory by executing the following command in your terminal:
cd nullboard
Next, install the required gems by running the following command:
bundle install
Copy the example configuration file .nullboard.yml.example to .nullboard.yml:
cp .nullboard.yml.example .nullboard.yml
Edit the .nullboard.yml file with your editor of choice and customize it to your needs.
vim .nullboard.yml
To start the Nullboard server, type the following command in your terminal:
bundle exec rackup
This will start the server and output the URL where you can access the Nullboard in your web browser.
Open a web browser and enter the following URL into the address bar:
http://localhost:9292
You should now see the Nullboard web dashboard in your browser. Congratulations, you have successfully installed Nullboard on Arch Linux!
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!
