How to Install myTinyTodo on FreeBSD

myTinyTodo is a simple and straightforward web-based task management system. It's a lightweight and open-source application that can help you organize notes, tasks, and reminders. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of myTinyTodo on FreeBSD.

Prerequisites

Before installing myTinyTodo, you need the following:

Step 1: Download myTinyTodo

First, let's download myTinyTodo using the following command:

$ sudo fetch https://www.mytinytodo.net/dl.php/latest

This will download the latest version of myTinyTodo to the current directory.

Step 2: Extract the Archive

Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:

$ sudo tar zxvf latest

This will create a directory called mytinytodo in the current directory.

Step 3: Move the Files

Now, move the files to your web server's root directory. Depending on your configuration, your web server's root directory may be located in different paths. For example, if you're using Apache, the directory might be /usr/local/www/apache24/data.

In this tutorial, we will assume the web server's root directory is /usr/local/www/apache24/data.

To move the files, execute the following commands:

$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo
$ sudo cp -rv mytinytodo/* /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo

This will create a directory called mytinytodo in your web server's root directory and move the myTinyTodo files there.

Step 4: Set Permissions

Next, we need to set the correct permissions for the myTinyTodo files. Execute the following commands to set the appropriate permissions:

$ sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo

This will ensure the web server can access and serve the myTinyTodo files.

Step 5: Configure myTinyTodo

Next, create a configuration file for myTinyTodo. Copy config-sample.php to config.php using the following command:

$ sudo cp /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo/config-sample.php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo/config.php

Now, open config.php using your favorite text editor and make the necessary changes. For example, you can change the application's name, add a password to secure the application, or specify a language.

$ sudo nano /usr/local/www/apache24/data/mytinytodo/config.php

Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Step 6: Access myTinyTodo

Lastly, access myTinyTodo through a web browser by visiting:

http://your-ip-address/mytinytodo

Replace your-ip-address with your server's IP address or hostname. You should see the myTinyTodo login screen.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed myTinyTodo on your FreeBSD Latest server. You can now use myTinyTodo to organize your tasks and notes.

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!
