Installing Restyaboard on FreeBSD Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Restyaboard on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation, make sure that:

• You have root access to the FreeBSD system.
• You have installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL on your FreeBSD system.

1. Install Dependencies

First, we need to install some dependencies required for the Restyaboard installation. Run the following command to install Apache, PHP and MySQL server:

pkg install apache24 mysql57-server php71 php71-mysqli php71-cli

2. Download Restyaboard

Next, we need to download the latest version of Restyaboard from the official repository. Run the following command to download the source code:

cd /usr/local/www/
git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git restyaboard

3. Configure Apache

Now, we need to configure Apache to host the Restyaboard. Create a new virtual host configuration file for Restyaboard:

nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/restyaboard.conf

Then, add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/restyaboard/app"
    ServerName your-domain.com
    <Directory "/usr/local/www/restyaboard/app">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/restyaboard-error.log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/restyaboard-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain name or IP address.

4. Create a MySQL Database

We need to create a MySQL database for Restyaboard. Run the following command to log in to MySQL:

mysql -u root -p

Enter the MySQL root user's password when prompted.

Then, create a new database for Restyaboard:

CREATE DATABASE restyaboarddb CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Create a new user and grant permissions to the database:

CREATE USER 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboarddb.* TO 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace password with a strong password of your choice.

5. Configure Restyaboard

Rename the default configuration file:

cd /usr/local/www/restyaboard/conf
mv config.example.php config.php

Edit the config.php file with your MySQL database details:

nano /usr/local/www/restyaboard/conf/config.php

define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'restyaboarduser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'restyaboarddb');

Save and close the file.

6. Install Required Dependencies

Install the required dependencies using the composer command:

cd /usr/local/www/restyaboard/
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

7. Configure File Permissions

Set the correct file permissions for the Restyaboard folders:

chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/restyaboard
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/www/restyaboard

8. Restart Apache and MySQL Servers

Finally, restart the Apache and MySQL servers to apply all changes:

service apache24 restart
service mysql-server restart

9. Access Restyaboard

You can now access Restyaboard by visiting your domain name or IP address in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Restyaboard on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using Restyaboard for your project management needs.

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!
