Restyaboard is an open-source project management tool that is designed to be easy to use and customize. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Restyaboard on Manjaro.
To follow this tutorial you will need:
Before installing Restyaboard, we need to install the required software packages. Run the following command to update the package repository database:
sudo pacman -Syy
Then, install Apache, MariaDB, and PHP using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php phpmyadmin
In the above command, phpmyadmin is optional and can be skipped if you do not require it.
Next, we need to configure the MariaDB database. Run the following command to start the MariaDB server:
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
Then, run the following command to secure the installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Answer the prompts to set a root password and to remove test databases and anonymous users.
By default, Apache is configured to look for web document roots under /srv/http/. Clone Restyaboard's repository to this directory:
sudo git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/ /srv/http/restyaboard
Run the following command to give Apache permission to access this directory:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/restyaboard
Next, we need to create an Apache virtual host for Restyaboard. Create a new configuration file at /etc/httpd/conf/extra/restyaboard.conf, with the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot "/srv/http/restyaboard"
ServerName restyaboard.example.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/restyaboard-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/restyaboard-access_log" common
<Directory "/srv/http/restyaboard">
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace admin@example.com and restyaboard.example.com with your desired values.
Finally, enable the new virtual host and restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Restyaboard requires several PHP extensions to function correctly. Install the required extensions with the following command:
sudo pacman -S php-gd php-imagick php-intl php-apcu php-mcrypt
Next, configure the Restyaboard application by copying the example configuration file:
sudo cp /srv/http/restyaboard/application/configs/ExampleDatabaseConfig.php /srv/http/restyaboard/application/configs/DatabaseConfig.php
Update the DatabaseConfig.php file with your database credentials:
<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'restyaboard');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_password');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_DRIVER', 'pdo_mysql');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATION', '');
?>
Replace root and your_password with your MariaDB database credentials.
Finally, visit your Restyaboard installation at http://restyaboard.example.com. You should see the login screen to access your new project management tool.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Restyaboard on Manjaro.
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!
