Mindwendel is a web-based project management tool that enables teams to work efficiently on projects. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Mindwendel on Fedora Server latest.
The first step is to ensure that your Fedora Server has all the necessary packages installed. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server git httpd php php-common php-mbstring php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-xml php-json php-zip php-mysqlnd php-intl php-pdo
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows you to easily install and manage PHP packages. Run the following command to install Composer:
sudo dnf install composer
Next, you need to clone the Mindwendel repository using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/ytsentas/mindwendel.git /var/www/html/mindwendel
Mindwendel requires a database to store project data. In this step, you need to create a new database for Mindwendel and grant privileges to the Mindwendel user. Run the following commands to create a new database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE mindwendel;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mindwendel.* TO 'mindwendel'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Now, you need to configure Apache to serve Mindwendel. Run the following command to create a new Apache virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/mindwendel.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mindwendel
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/mindwendel>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mindwendel-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mindwendel-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "example.com" with your domain name.
Save and close the file.
Restart Apache using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, you need to install Mindwendel dependencies using Composer. Change the directory to the Mindwendel installation directory:
cd /var/www/html/mindwendel
Run the following command to install dependencies:
sudo composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs
In this step, you need to configure Mindwendel. First, copy the default configuration file:
sudo cp /var/www/html/mindwendel/.env.example /var/www/html/mindwendel/.env
Now, open the .env file using nano:
sudo nano /var/www/html/mindwendel/.env
Update the following lines with your database details:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mindwendel
DB_USERNAME=mindwendel
DB_PASSWORD=password
Save and close the file.
Run the following command to run Mindwendel migration:
sudo php artisan migrate --seed
This will create the necessary database tables and seed them with initial data.
Finally, you need to create an admin user to access Mindwendel. Run the following command to create a new user:
sudo php artisan mindwendel:create-user
Follow the prompts to enter the user details.
You can now access Mindwendel by visiting your domain name in a web browser. You should see the Mindwendel login page. Use the admin user credentials you just created to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mindwendel on Fedora Server latest.
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!
