TaskBoard is a web-based tool that helps users to manage their tasks and projects effectively. It is an open-source software that is quite popular among developers, managers, and teams. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install TaskBoard on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing TaskBoard, make sure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
First, we need to install some required packages which are necessary for TaskBoard to function correctly. Open the terminal on your Fedora server and run the following commands:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install php php-zip php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
Composer is a package manager for PHP that helps you to manage dependencies for your PHP projects. We will use Composer to install TaskBoard on our system. To install Composer, use the following command:
sudo dnf install composer
Now, we will download TaskBoard from its official GitHub repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard.git /var/www/html/taskboard
This command will clone the TaskBoard repository to the /var/www/html/taskboard directory on your system.
After cloning the TaskBoard repository, navigate to the /var/www/html/taskboard directory and run the following command:
composer install
This command will download and install all the required dependencies for TaskBoard.
TaskBoard uses MySQL/MariaDB database server to store its data. Create a new database and user for TaskBoard using the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE taskboard;
CREATE USER 'taskboard'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON taskboard.* TO 'taskboard'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Replace [password] with the password of your choice.
Next, we need to configure TaskBoard to use the database we just created. Copy the .env.example file to .env and edit it using the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/taskboard
cp .env.example .env
Then, open the .env file with your preferred text editor and modify the following lines:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=taskboard
DB_USERNAME=taskboard
DB_PASSWORD=[password]
Replace [password] with the password you set for the taskboard database user.
Set the correct file permissions for the TaskBoard directory using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/taskboard
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/taskboard
Now, we need to configure our web server to serve TaskBoard. We will use Apache as an example in this tutorial. Create a new virtual host configuration file for TaskBoard using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/taskboard.conf
Then, add the following code to the file and save it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName taskboard.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/taskboard/public
<Directory /var/www/html/taskboard>
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/taskboard_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/taskboard_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "taskboard.example.com" with your domain name or server IP address.
After making changes to the web server configuration file, restart the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, you can access TaskBoard in your web browser by visiting your domain name or server IP address. For example, http://taskboard.example.com.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TaskBoard on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use TaskBoard to manage your tasks and projects.
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!
