How to Install Mindwendel on FreeBSD Latest

Mindwendel is a self-hosted, open-source project management tool. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Mindwendel on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update FreeBSD

Before we begin, we need to ensure that FreeBSD is up-to-date. Run the following command to update the system:

pkg update && pkg upgrade

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Mindwendel requires a web server (Apache or Nginx), PHP, and a database server (MySQL or MariaDB).

To install Apache:

pkg install apache24

To install PHP:

pkg install php74 php74-extensions php74-mysqli php74-mbstring php74-json

To install MariaDB:

pkg install mariadb106-server mariadb106-client

Step 3: Create a Database

We need to create a database for Mindwendel to store data. To do this, run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

This will open the MariaDB shell. Enter the root password when prompted.

Run the following command to create a database:

CREATE DATABASE mindwendel;

Exit the MariaDB shell:

exit

Step 4: Download and Install Mindwendel

Change to the Apache document root directory:

cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data

Download the Mindwendel package:

fetch https://www.mindwendel.com/downloads/mindwendel-latest.tar.gz

Extract the package:

tar xzf mindwendel-latest.tar.gz

Move the extracted files to the document root directory:

mv mindwendel* mindwendel

Change the ownership of the Mindwendel files to the web server user:

chown -R www:www mindwendel

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache configuration file for Mindwendel:

vi /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/mindwendel.conf

Paste the following Apache configuration code into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mindwendel/public
    <Directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mindwendel/public>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain name.

Step 6: Start the Services
