How to Install Kanbana on Kali Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Kanbana on Kali Linux. Kanbana is a self-hosted Kanban software for small teams developed with Ruby on Rails and Vue JS. It helps teams to organize their workflow, manage tasks, and track progress.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following components installed on your Kali Linux system:

• Ruby (version 2.7.2)
• RubyGems (version 3.2.3)
• Bundler (version 2.1.4)
• PostgreSQL (version 10.16 or later)

If you haven't installed any of these components, use the following commands to install them:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ruby rubygems bundler postgresql

Step 1: Clone the Kanbana Repository

First, you need to clone Kanbana's repository from Github. Open your terminal and run the following command:

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

This will download the latest version of the Kanbana source code to your computer.

Step 2: Install Kanbana Dependencies

Navigate to the Kanbana source code directory and use bundler to install all the dependencies required by Kanbana. Run the following command:

cd kanbana
bundle install

This will install all the required dependencies, including Ruby on Rails, Vue JS, and PostgreSQL.

Step 3: Configure the Database

In this step, you need to create a PostgreSQL database and configure Kanbana to use it. Run the following commands to create a new database and configure it:

sudo -u postgres createuser kanban
sudo -u postgres createdb kanbana_development
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

Edit the config/database.yml file, change the default configuration to the following:

development:
  <<: *default
  database: kanbana_development
  username: kanban
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE

Step 4: Run Database Migrations

Kanbana uses ActiveRecord for communicating with the PostgreSQL database. You need to run database migrations to create the necessary database tables.

Run the following command to run the migrations:

rails db:migrate

This will create all the necessary database tables.

Step 5: Start the Kanbana Server

Now that all the dependencies are installed and the database is configured, run the following command to start the Kanbana server:

rails server

This will start the server, and you can access the Kanbana app by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:

http://localhost:3000

That's it! You have successfully installed Kanbana on Kali Linux.
