Black Candy is an open-source project management tool that was designed to help users better organize their tasks and workflow. It comes with a responsive and user-friendly interface with many features such as project tracking, issue tracking, and team collaboration. In this tutorial, we will cover the necessary steps to install Black Candy on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, ensure your server meets the following requirements:
Before we install Black Candy, we need to make sure that we have all of the necessary dependencies.
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install git nodejs redis nginx
sudo systemctl enable redis
Next, we will clone the Black Candy repository with git.
sudo git clone https://github.com/blackcandy-org/black_candy.git /opt/blackcandy
We will now navigate to the Black Candy directory and install the required dependencies.
cd /opt/blackcandy
sudo npm install
Create a new configuration file named .env by running the following command:
sudo cp .env.example .env
Then, update the DATABASE_URL variable in the /.env file with your database information. For example:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/blackcandy
Next, we need to start the Black Candy server. We'll do that by running the following command:
sudo npm run start
The server should now be running.
Finally, we need to configure NGINX to proxy requests to the Black Candy server.
sudo cp /opt/blackcandy/nginx/blackcandy.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx
That's it! You should now have Black Candy installed and running on your Fedora Server Latest instance. You can access the Black Candy interface at http://<your domain or IP address>. If you encounter any issues, refer to Black Candy's documentation or seek help from the Black Candy community.
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!
