In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wekan on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Wekan is an open-source Kanban board which is used by teams to organize tasks and gauge progress. By the end of this guide, you will have successfully installed Wekan on your Fedora CoreOS server and be able to use it to manage your team's projects.
Before moving forward with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to update your Fedora CoreOS system to ensure that all packages are up to date.
sudo rpm-ostree refresh-md
sudo rpm-ostree upgrade
Wekan requires MongoDB to store its data. Use the following commands to install MongoDB on your system.
sudo dnf install mongodb-server -y
sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod
Once MongoDB is installed and running, we will move to the next step.
Wekan also requires Node.js to run. We will be installing the latest version of Node.js available on Fedora CoreOS.
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
Now that all dependencies are installed, the final step is to install Wekan. We will be using the NPM package manager to install Wekan.
sudo npm install -g wekan
Wekan should now be installed on your system. The final step is to run it.
wekan
By default, Wekan runs on port 3000. To access it, open your web browser and go to http://your-server-ip:3000. You should now see the Wekan login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wekan on your Fedora CoreOS server. You can now begin using it to manage your team's projects. Remember to keep your system up to date and secure by regularly updating packages and performing security audits.
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!
