Kanbana is a free and open-source project management tool that helps you manage your projects by visualizing your workflow on a Kanban board. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Kanbana on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to update and upgrade the system packages with the following command:
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade
Next, install the required packages using the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs git mysql-server
Once the packages are installed, you need to start and enable the MySQL server using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql
Next, you need to create a database for Kanbana. You can create a database using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you're in the MySQL console, you can create a new database and grant privileges to the user as follows:
CREATE DATABASE kanbana_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kanbana_db.* TO 'kanbana_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Make sure to replace the your-password with a strong password for the user.
Now, it's time to install Kanbana. First, clone the Kanbana repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git
Next, navigate to the Kanbana directory and run the following command:
npm install
Once the installation is complete, you need to create a config.js file using the following command:
cp config.example.js config.js
Edit the config.js file with your MySQL database credentials as follows:
nano config.js
var config = {
// Database configuration
database: {
host: 'localhost',
user: 'kanbana_user',
password: 'your-password',
database: 'kanbana_db',
charset: 'utf8mb4'
},
// Server configuration
server: {
// Hostname and port the application will run on
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000,
// Secret key for sessions
secret: 'your-secret-key'
}
};
module.exports = config;
Once you're done editing the file, save and close it.
Finally, you can start the Kanbana server using the following command:
npm start
Once the server is started, you can access the Kanbana web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://server-ip:3000.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Kanbana on Fedora Server Latest. Now you can use Kanbana to manage your projects in a visual and intuitive way. You can also customize your Kanban board to suit your needs, create tasks, assign them to team members, and track their progress in real-time.
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!
