How to install Restyaboard on EndeavourOS Latest

Restyaboard is an open-source project management and collaboration tool that helps businesses to manage their tasks, projects, and workflows. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Restyaboard on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start installing Restyaboard, you will need to have the following:

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

Restyaboard is a PHP based application that requires the Apache Web Server to run. To install Apache, use the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

Once installed, you can start the Apache service using:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To enable it on startup, use:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 2: Install PHP

Next, install PHP and the necessary PHP extensions required for Restyaboard using the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mysql php-pdo_mysql php-pear php-xml php-zip

Step 3: Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager that will be used to install Restyaboard. To install Composer, use the following command:

sudo pacman -S composer

Step 4: Install Restyaboard

Clone the Restyaboard repository to the Apache document root directory /srv/http/ using the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git /srv/http/restyaboard

Once cloned, navigate to the Restyaboard directory and install the dependencies using Composer:

cd /srv/http/restyaboard
sudo composer install

Step 5: Configure the Database

Create a new database for Restyaboard and a user with enough privileges to access it. Replace <dbname>, <username>, and <password> with your desired values:

sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE <dbname>;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `<dbname>`.* TO `<username>`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

Rename the config.sample.inc.php file to config.inc.php and edit it with your database credentials:

sudo mv config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
sudo nano config.inc.php
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '';
$config['db']['user'] = '<username>';
$config['db']['password'] = '<password>';
$config['db']['database'] = '<dbname>',

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Configure Virtual Host

Create a new Virtual Host configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/restyaboard.conf

Add the following code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName restyaboard.example.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/http/restyaboard

    <Directory /srv/http/restyaboard>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/restyaboard_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/restyaboard_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file.

Step 7: Restart Apache

After you’ve configured the Virtual Host, save and close the file. Then, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 8: Access Restyaboard

Finally, you can access Restyaboard on your web browser by entering the server's IP address or domain name followed by /restyaboard. For example, http://192.0.2.10/restyaboard.

You will be prompted to create an administrator account and configure some initial settings.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Restyaboard on EndeavourOS 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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
