Tutorial: How to Install Taiga on Manjaro

Taiga is a project management tool that focuses on agile development methodologies. It is a web-based application that provides support for project planning, task management, and issue tracking. If you're using Manjaro and would like to install Taiga, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Prerequisites

Before installing Taiga, make sure you meet the following requirements:

Step 1: Clone the Taiga repository

The first step is to clone the latest version of the Taiga repository to your local system. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back.git taiga

This will create a new directory named taiga in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install the required dependencies

Next, you'll need to install the required dependencies for Taiga to work. To do this, navigate to the taiga directory and run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This may take a while, as there are several dependencies that need to be installed.

Step 3: Configure Taiga

Once you have installed the dependencies, you'll need to configure Taiga to work with your system. You can do this by copying the settings/local.py.example file to settings/local.py, and then editing the new file to match your system configuration. For example, you may need to update the DATABASES setting to point to your PostgreSQL installation.

cp settings/local.py.example settings/local.py
nano settings/local.py

Step 4: Migrate your database

With your settings configured, you can now migrate your database by running the following command:

python manage.py migrate

Step 5: Create a superuser (optional)

If you want to create a new Taiga superuser, you can do so by running the following command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

You'll be prompted to enter a username, email address, and password for the new user.

Step 6: Collect static files

To make sure that Taiga's static files are available to your web server, you'll need to collect them by running the following command:

python manage.py collectstatic

Step 7: Set up your web server

Finally, you'll need to set up your web server to serve Taiga. The configuration for this step will vary depending on which web server you're using, but typically involves setting up a new virtual host that points to your Taiga installation.

Once you have completed this step, you should be able to access Taiga by navigating to the appropriate URL in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Taiga 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!
