In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install tasks.php on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Tasks.php is an open-source task management application written in PHP.
Prerequisites
Before we start the installation of tasks.php, we need to install the required packages. Open up a terminal window and execute the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git php-cli php-gd
This command will install Git version control software, PHP command-line interface, and PHP-GD extension to work with graphics.
We will download the tasks.php source code from the github repository https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git
cd tasks.php
The tasks.php application requires a configuration file to connect to the database. You can create a new file called "config.php" by copying the sample configuration file "config.php.sample" with the following command:
cp config.php.sample config.php
Next, open the config.php file using a text editor such as nano:
nano config.php
and update the database credentials as per your environment:
define('DB_NAME', 'tasks');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', 'your_password');
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
Once done, save and exit the file.
Now, we need to create a new database for tasks.php. Log in to MariaDB/MySQL server using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password and create a new database called "tasks" with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE tasks;
Now, create a new user and grant privileges to this user for the newly created database:
CREATE USER 'tasksuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tasks.* TO 'tasksuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You can replace "your_password" with a strong password.
Now, exit from the MySQL prompt using the following command:
exit
Finally, we can start the built-in PHP web server using the following command:
php -S 0.0.0.0:8080
This command will start the PHP web server on port 8080. You can access the tasks.php application in a web browser by visiting http://
You have successfully installed and configured tasks.php on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can use this web-based task management system to organize and prioritize your tasks.
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!
