Restyaboard is an open-source kanban board software that can be used for project management and collaboration purposes. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Restyaboard on Linux Mint latest version.
Before starting with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to install the required packages for the Restyaboard installation. Run the following command to install Apache, PHP, MySQL, and other required packages:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.4 mysql-server php7.4-mysql php7.4-gd php7.4-json php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring composer unzip
Now, you need to create a database for the Restyaboard installation. Run the following command to log in to MySQL:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Provide your root user password when prompted. Then run the following command to create a new database for Restyaboard:
CREATE DATABASE restyaboard_db;
To download and install Restyaboard, follow the below steps:
Navigate to the root directory of the Apache web server:
cd /var/www/html/
Clone the Restyaboard repository using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git restyaboard
Navigate to the Restyaboard directory:
cd restyaboard
Install the dependencies using the following command:
sudo composer install
Now, you need to configure Restyaboard by creating a configuration file. Run the following command to create a configuration file:
sudo cp config.example.php config.php
Then open the config.php file using a text editor:
sudo nano config.php
Modify the following lines to set your database details:
define('RB_DB_NAME', 'restyaboard_db');
define('RB_DB_USERNAME', 'your_database_username');
define('RB_DB_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password');
Save and close the file.
Next, you need to create a virtual host for Restyaboard installation. Run the following command to create a new virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/restyaboard.conf
Then modify the file with the following contents:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/restyaboard/public/
ServerName yourdomain.com
<Directory /var/www/html/restyaboard/public/>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain or IP address.
Save and close the file.
Then enable the virtual host configuration by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite restyaboard
Finally, restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to your domain or IP address. You should see the Restyaboard installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Restyaboard on Linux Mint latest version. Restyaboard is a great kanban board software for project management and collaboration. You can now use Restyaboard to organize your projects and teams efficiently.
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!
