TimeOff.Management is an open-source employee leave management system that helps organizations manage employee time-off requests, approvals, and tracking. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TimeOff.Management on a Fedora Server Latest.
To follow along with this tutorial, you will need:
Before installing TimeOff.Management, we need to install some dependencies required by it. Open the terminal of your Fedora server and run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git curl nodejs npm mariadb mariadb-server
This command installs a few required software packages, including MariaDB to store the data and node.js to run the TimeOff.Management.
Now we can clone the TimeOff.Management repository from GitHub with the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/application.git /opt/timeoff-management
Navigate to the /opt/timeoff-management directory with the following command:
cd /opt/timeoff-management
We need to install TimeOff.Management dependencies before we use it. Run the following command to install all the required dependencies:
sudo npm install
After the installation is complete, we can run the TimeOff.Management with the following command:
sudo npm start
TimeOff.Management should now be running on http://localhost:3000.
Before we can use the TimeOff.Management, we need to create a database and user account for TimeOff.Management on MariaDB. Connect to the MariaDB in the terminal with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your password when prompted. Create a new database named "timeoff_management" by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE timeoff_management CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
Create a new user account with username "timeoffuser" and password "password" with the following command. Replace "password" with an actual password of your choice.
CREATE USER 'timeoffuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Grant all privileges to the timeoff_management database with the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON timeoff_management.* TO 'timeoffuser'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges to apply the changes:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
To configure TimeOff.Management, create a new file named "config.json" in the /opt/timeoff-management directory with the following command:
sudo nano /opt/timeoff-management/config.json
Paste the following configuration in the file:
{
"db": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"user": "timeoffuser",
"password": "password",
"database": "timeoff_management",
"multipleStatements": true
}
}
Save and close the file with Ctrl + X, Y, Enter in the terminal.
Now we can start the TimeOff.Management again with the following command:
sudo npm start
Open the web browser and access the TimeOff.Managament with the address http://<IPAddress>:3000.
You should see the TimeOff.Management interface.
