How to Install Focalboard on Fedora Server Latest

Focalboard is an open-source project management tool similar in functionality to Trello and Asana. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Focalboard on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin with the installation process, you need to make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora Server Latest installed
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Docker

Focalboard is installed and run using Docker. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your Fedora Server Latest.

To install Docker, you can use the following command:

sudo dnf install docker

After the installation process is complete, you can check the version of Docker by running the following command:

docker --version

Step 2: Clone Focalboard

Next, you need to clone the Focalboard repository from GitHub.

To clone the repository, navigate to a directory you want to clone it to and run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard.git

After the repository is cloned, navigate to the focalboard directory:

cd focalboard

Step 3: Create a Docker Compose file

Focalboard is run using Docker Compose. Therefore, you need to create a Docker Compose file inside the focalboard directory.

To create the docker-compose.yml file, run the following command:

sudo nano docker-compose.yml

Then paste the following YAML code into the docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.3'

services:
  web:
    image: focalboard/focalboard:latest
    container_name: focalboard
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      - FOCALBOARD_SITEURL=http://localhost:8000
      - FOCALBOARD_CONFIG=/data/config.json
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    restart: unless-stopped

Save and close the docker-compose.yml file.

Step 4: Start Focalboard

Now that you have everything set up, you can start Focalboard by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This will start the Focalboard container in the background.

Step 5: Access Focalboard

Finally, you can access Focalboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.

Note: If you are running your Fedora Server Latest on a remote server, you need to replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your server.
