How to Install Kanbana on FreeBSD

Kanbana is a web-based Kanban board tool used for managing project workflows. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Kanbana on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A FreeBSD Latest system
• Basic knowledge of how to use the command line interface

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing Kanbana, we need to install some required dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following commands:

sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install node npm nginx git-lite

Step 2: Clone the Kanbana Repository

Next, we need to clone the Kanbana repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git

Step 3: Install Kanbana

After cloning the repository, navigate to the Kanbana directory and install the necessary packages using the following commands:

cd kanbana
npm install

Step 4: Configure Nginx

To access Kanbana via a web browser, we need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. Open the Nginx configuration file by running the following command:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Add the following configuration code inside the http block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8888;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name. Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start Kanbana

To start Kanbana, run the following command:

npm start

Kanbana will start running at http://localhost:8888. Open your web browser and enter your server's IP address or domain name in the address bar, followed by :80 (e.g. http://your_domain.com:80).

You should now see the Kanbana login page. Use the credentials admin and admin to log in and start using Kanbana.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kanbana on FreeBSD Latest. You can use Kanbana to manage your project workflows and streamline your project management tasks.
