Vikunja is a task and list management software solution, which allows teams to collaborate and work together more effectively. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Vikunja on Kali Linux.
Vikunja is a Dockerized application, meaning that it requires Docker to be installed and running. To install Docker on Kali Linux, run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
Once Docker is installed, enable the service to start automatically at boot time:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Then, start the Docker service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Docker Compose is a tool that allows the creation and management of multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following command:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, make the binary executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
To check if Docker Compose was installed correctly, run:
docker-compose --version
To get the Vikunja application up and running, we need to clone the project's Git repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/vikunja/vikunja.git
This will clone the project to your working directory.
The next step is to configure the Vikunja application. To do this, open the docker-compose.yml file with your favorite text editor:
nano docker-compose.yml
Change the ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variables to your desired values, then save and close the file.
Finally, start the Vikunja application using Docker Compose:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This will start the Vikunja application in detached mode, meaning that it will run in the background.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install Vikunja on Kali Linux using Docker Compose. With this setup, you can now use Vikunja to manage your tasks and collaborate with your team more effectively.
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!
