TimeOff.Management is a web-based employee leave management system that enables companies to easily track their employees' vacation time, sick leave, and other types of leave. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install TimeOff.Management on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
TimeOff.Management requires a web server, database server, and PHP support. To install all the required software, open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql
The above commands will install the Apache webserver, MySQL database server, and PHP support. During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL.
We need to create a MySQL database for TimeOff.Management. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password you set during the installation process when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE timeoff_management;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON timeoff_management.* TO 'timeoff'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
The above commands create a new MySQL database named 'timeoff_management' and assign a new user 'timeoff' with password 'password' full privileges to the newly created database.
To download TimeOff.Management, open the terminal and execute the following command:
wget https://github.com/timeoff-management/application/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, unzip the archive:
unzip master.zip
Now copy the entire application directory to the webserver document root directory:
sudo cp -r application-master/* /var/www/html/
Now rename the configuration file:
cp /var/www/html/config/config.dist.php /var/www/html/config/config.php
Edit the configuration file 'config.php' using a text editor and update the database connection parameters as follows:
$dbconfig['dbhost'] = 'localhost';
$dbconfig['dbname'] = 'timeoff_management';
$dbconfig['dbuser'] = 'timeoff';
$dbconfig['dbpass'] = 'password';
Save and exit the configuration file.
We need to configure the Apache web server to serve TimeOff.Management. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/timeoff.conf
Paste the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName timeoff.management
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/timeoff-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/timeoff-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter.
Now enable the new configuration and restart the Apache web server by executing the following commands:
sudo a2ensite timeoff
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://timeoff.management. You should now see the TimeOff.Management login page.
Use the default username and password to log in:
Username: admin
Password: admin
You can now customize the application according to your preferences.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TimeOff.Management on Kali Linux Latest.
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!
