OnTrack is a simplified project management tool developed by inoda.org. This tutorial explains the steps to install OnTrack on Linux Mint.
Open the terminal window and clone the OnTrack repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inoda/ontrack.git
Wait for the clone to complete.
OnTrack is a Java-based web application that runs on a web server. We will use Apache Tomcat as the web server.
To install Tomcat, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install tomcat9 tomcat9-admin
Copy the OnTrack war file to the Tomcat webapps directory as follows:
sudo cp ontrack/war/ontrack.war /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/
Start the Tomcat service as follows:
sudo systemctl start tomcat9
OnTrack should now be available at the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/ontrack/
You can login to OnTrack using the default credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
That's it! You have successfully installed OnTrack on your Linux Mint system. You can now begin using OnTrack to manage your projects.
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!
