How to Install Nullboard on Linux Mint

Nullboard is a simple, minimalist web-based dashboard that allows you to keep track of your to-do lists, notes, and bookmarks. Here's how to set it up on your Linux Mint system:

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we can install Nullboard, we need to install some dependencies. Open up your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-sqlite3

This command installs Apache web server, PHP, and the necessary PHP modules.

Step 2: Clone the Nullboard Repository

Next, you need to clone the Nullboard repository from Github using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/apankrat/nullboard.git

Step 3: Move the Nullboard files

Move the Nullboard files to the directory where you want to serve the web pages. For example:

sudo mv nullboard /var/www/html/

Step 4: Set up the database

Nullboard uses SQLite database to store your notes and bookmarks. We need to create a database file and grant it permissions.

cd /var/www/html/nullboard
touch nullboard.db
chmod 666 nullboard.db

Step 5: Set up the configuration file

We need to create a configuration file for Nullboard to know where the database file is located. Copy the default configuration file and make changes to the copied file as needed.

cp config-sample.inc config.inc

Now edit the configuration file and update the database path:

nano config.inc

Change the following line:

'db_path' => 'nullboard.db',

To the following line:

'db_path' => '/var/www/html/nullboard/nullboard.db',

Step 6: Set up the virtual host

We need to create a virtual host configuration file for Apache to serve Nullboard. Create a new configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/nullboard.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName nullboard.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/nullboard
    <Directory /var/www/html/nullboard>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit.

Step 7: Enable the virtual host

Now we need to enable the virtual host:

sudo a2ensite nullboard.conf

Step 8: Install and enable mod_rewrite

We need to install and enable the mod_rewrite module for Apache to work with clean URLs:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Step 9: Restart Apache

Now restart the Apache web server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 10: Access Nullboard

You can now access Nullboard in your web browser by navigating to http://nullboard.local or http://localhost/nullboard.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed Nullboard on Linux Mint. Nullboard is a simple yet powerful dashboard that can help you stay organized and focused. Use it to keep track of your to-do lists, notes, and bookmarks. Happy organizing!
