How to Install myTinyTodo on Clear Linux Latest

myTinyTodo is a simple and lightweight web-based todo list and task management system. It is ideal for individual or small group use, and can be easily installed on a Clear Linux Latest system. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process step-by-step.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

• A Clear Linux Latest system with root access
• Apache web server installed and running on the system
• Database server installed (either MySQL or PostgreSQL)

Step 1: Download myTinyTodo

First, download myTinyTodo from the official website (https://www.mytinytodo.net/). You can download the latest version of myTinyTodo as a ZIP file. Save the ZIP file to your Clear Linux Latest system.

Step 2: Extract myTinyTodo ZIP File

Once you have downloaded myTinyTodo, extract the ZIP file using the following command:

unzip mytinytodo.zip

This will create a new directory called mytinytodo in your current working directory. Move this directory to your web server's root directory, which is typically /var/www/html:

mv mytinytodo /var/www/html/

Step 3: Create a Database

Before you can use myTinyTodo, you need to create a database for it to use. You can create a database using either MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Option 1: Create a MySQL/MariaDB Database

If you are using MariaDB or MySQL, run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL/MariaDB root password when prompted. Then, create a new database for myTinyTodo:

CREATE DATABASE mytinytodo;

Create a new user for myTinyTodo and grant permissions for it to access the database:

CREATE USER 'mytinytodo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mytinytodo.* TO 'mytinytodo'@'localhost';

Replace password with a secure password for the new user.

Option 2: Create a PostgreSQL Database

If you're using PostgreSQL, run the following command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Create a new database for myTinyTodo:

CREATE DATABASE mytinytodo;

Create a new user for myTinyTodo and grant it permissions to access the database:

CREATE USER mytinytodo WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mytinytodo TO mytinytodo;

Replace password with a secure password for the new user.

Step 4: Configure myTinyTodo

Navigate to the myTinyTodo directory:

cd /var/www/html/mytinytodo/

Rename the file config.inc.php.sample to config.inc.php:

mv config.inc.php.sample config.inc.php

Open the config.inc.php file, and update the following variables:

• $config['password'] – set a secure password for the admin account
• $config['user'] – set the username for the database user (e.g. mytinytodo)
• $config['pass'] – set the password for the database user

If you are using PostgreSQL, set the driver setting to pgsql.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache configuration file for myTinyTodo:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/mytinytodo.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /mytinytodo /var/www/html/mytinytodo
<Directory /var/www/html/mytinytodo>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Restart Apache

Finally, restart Apache to apply the configuration changes:

systemctl restart httpd

Accessing myTinyTodo

You can now access myTinyTodo in your web browser by navigating to http://<your-server-ip>/mytinytodo. Enter the admin username (set in step 4) and password to log in, and start using the app.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed myTinyTodo on Clear Linux Latest.

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!
