myTinyTodo is a simple web-based todo list application that allows users to manage tasks and keep track of their progress. It is easy to install and use, making it a popular choice for those who want an uncomplicated task manager.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing myTinyTodo on Manjaro.
Before we can install myTinyTodo, we need to ensure that Apache and PHP are installed on our Manjaro system. If they are not installed, we can install them using the following commands:
sudo pacman -S apache
sudo pacman -S php
The next step is to download myTinyTodo to our Manjaro system. We can do this by visiting the myTinyTodo website (https://www.mytinytodo.net/), clicking on the "Download" button, and saving the file to our local machine.
Alternatively, we can use the following command to download myTinyTodo:
wget https://www.mytinytodo.net/dl.php/latest
Once myTinyTodo has been downloaded, we need to extract it to a folder on our system. We can do this by navigating to the directory where the file was downloaded and using the following command:
tar xvf latest
This will extract the myTinyTodo files to a folder called "myTinyTodo" in the directory where we executed the command.
The next step is to copy the myTinyTodo files to the Apache web root directory on our Manjaro system. This is typically "/srv/http" or "/var/www". To do this, we can use the following command:
sudo cp -r myTinyTodo /srv/http
The Apache web server needs to have permission to access the myTinyTodo files. To do this, we need to set the appropriate ownership and permissions. We can use the following commands to achieve this:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/myTinyTodo
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/myTinyTodo
The final step is to configure Apache to serve the myTinyTodo application. This can be done by creating a new virtual host file in the "/etc/httpd/conf/extra/" directory.
We can do this in any text editor of our choice. For example, we can use nano to create a new virtual host file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/mytinytodo.conf
Then, paste the following content into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /srv/http/myTinyTodo
ServerName mytinytodo.local
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory "/srv/http/myTinyTodo">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file (Ctrl + X, Y, Enter).
Finally, enable the new virtual host by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
With Apache configured and running, we can now access our new myTinyTodo installation. Simply open up your web browser and navigate to "http://mytinytodo.local".
Congratulations! You now have a functioning myTinyTodo installation on your Manjaro system.
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!
