In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of TimeOff.Management on Debian. This is a web-based time off management software that allows employees to check their vacation days and request time off.
Before we begin with the TimeOff.Management installation, we have to update our system. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Type in your password, then press Enter. Wait for the system update to complete.
Next, we will install the necessary dependencies required for TimeOff.Management. Open your terminal and enter the following series of commands:
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl gcc git libpq-dev make ruby ruby-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev
TimeOff.Management requires a PostgreSQL database, so we have to install it first. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
We have to create a PostgreSQL database and user for TimeOff.Management. Run the following series of commands to create a new database and user:
sudo su - postgres
createuser -d -P timeoff
createdb -O timeoff timeoff_dev
exit
To install TimeOff.Management, we first need to clone the repository from GitHub. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/application.git
Once the clone is complete, navigate to the directory by running:
cd application
Next, install the necessary gems by running:
gem install bundler && bundle install
We need to configure the TimeOff.Management application to work with our PostgreSQL database. Copy the config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml by running the following command:
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
Open the config/database.yml file in your preferred text editor, then update the username and password fields to match the user and password you created in step 4. Save the changes.
Before we can start TimeOff.Management, we need to create the database schema. Run the following command in your terminal:
rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
We are now ready to start TimeOff.Management. To do this, run the following command:
rails server -b 0.0.0.0
This command will start TimeOff.Management on your local machine. To access the application, open your web browser and enter http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TimeOff.Management on Debian Latest. You can now use TimeOff.Management to manage your time off requests.
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!
