Restyaboard is a highly-functional open source Kanban board, and NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable operating system. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Restyaboard on NetBSD.
Before installing Restyaboard, it is essential to update and upgrade your NetBSD system. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pkgin update && sudo pkgin upgrade
This will update and upgrade all the installed packages on your NetBSD system.
After updating your system, you have to install the required packages that Restyaboard needs. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pkgin install npm apache24 mysql-server
This will install the Node.js package manager (npm), Apache web server, and MySQL server on your NetBSD system.
Now that you have the required packages installed, you need to download and install Restyaboard.
You can either download the latest version of Restyaboard from their official website or clone the repository from GitHub. In this tutorial, we will clone the Restyaboard repository from GitHub.
Run the following command in the terminal to clone the Restyaboard repository:
git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git
Navigate to the extracted Restyaboard directory and install the required Node.js packages by running the following command:
cd board
sudo npm install
Before you can start Restyaboard, you need to configure the Apache web server to serve Restyaboard. To do this, follow these steps:
Create a new virtual host in Apache by running the following command:
sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Add the following code at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName restyaboard.example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/restyaboard/public
<Directory /path/to/restyaboard/public>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace restyaboard.example.com with your desired domain name and /path/to/restyaboard/public with the absolute path to the Restyaboard directory.
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl + X, typing y, and pressing Enter. Then, restart the Apache server by running the following command:
sudo /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl restart
Before you can start using Restyaboard, you need to configure and start the MySQL server. To do this, follow these steps:
Initialize the MySQL server by running the following command:
sudo /usr/pkg/bin/mysql_install_db
Secure the MySQL server by running the following command:
sudo /usr/pkg/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts to secure your MySQL server.
Create a new MySQL database and user for Restyaboard by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE restyaboard;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboard.* TO 'restyaboard'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;
Make sure to replace password with your desired MySQL password.
Start the MySQL server by running the following command:
sudo /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/mysqld start
Now that you have configured Apache and MySQL, you can start Restyaboard by running the following command:
sudo npm start
Restyaboard will be available at http://restyaboard.example.com.
By following this tutorial, you have learned how to install Restyaboard on NetBSD. You can now use Restyaboard to manage your tasks, projects, and businesses.
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!
