How to install Focalboard on EndeavourOS Latest

Focalboard is an open-source productivity tool that can help you organize your tasks and projects. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Focalboard on EndeavourOS Latest using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before installing Focalboard, make sure to install Docker on your EndeavourOS Latest system. You can install Docker by following the official Docker installation guide.

Step 1: Install Docker Compose

We will use Docker Compose to install and run Focalboard. You can install Docker Compose by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S docker-compose

Note

If the pacman command is not available on your system, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S pacman

Step 2: Create a Focalboard Directory

Create a directory for Focalboard on your system by running the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/focalboard

Step 3: Create a Docker Compose File

Create a new file named docker-compose.yml in the focalboard directory by running the following command:

sudo nano /opt/focalboard/docker-compose.yml

Paste the following code into the docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"

services:
  app:
    image: focalboard/focalboard:latest
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data

Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y, and then Enter.

Note

This Docker Compose file will create a new Focalboard container that will be accessible on port 8000.

Step 4: Start the Focalboard Container

Start the Focalboard container by running the following command in the focalboard directory:

sudo docker-compose up -d

Note

The -d option will start the container in detached mode, which means that it will run in the background.

Step 5: Access Focalboard

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Focalboard login page.

Note

If you are running EndeavourOS Latest on a remote server, replace localhost with the server's IP address.
