TimeOff.Management is a free, open-source time off management software. It allows organizations to manage employee leave requests and vacation time easily. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install TimeOff.Management on NetBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, download the latest release of TimeOff.Management from their official website. You can do it by running the following command in your terminal:
$ wget https://github.com/timeoff-management/application/archive/latest.tar.gz
After downloading the package, extract it by running the following command in your terminal:
$ tar xf latest.tar.gz
Once the package is extracted, move the TimeOff.Management folder to your Apache web server directory, which is usually located at /usr/local/www/apache24/data/. You can do it by running the following command in your terminal:
$ mv application-latest /usr/local/www/apache24/data/timeoff
Here, we're moving the extracted folder to the timeoff directory.
Next, you need to create a database and user to store the application data. You can do it by running the following commands in your terminal:
$ su -l postgres
$ psql
This will give you access to the PostgreSQL command prompt. Now, run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE timeoff;
CREATE USER username WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE timeoff TO username;
\q
Here, replace username and password with the desired values.
Now, update the config.php file in the TimeOff.Management folder with your database and user credentials. You can do it by running the following command in your terminal:
$ cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/timeoff/config
$ cp config.php.sample config.php
$ vi config.php
Here, use the vi command to open the file and add the following lines at the end of the file:
define('DB_NAME', 'timeoff');
define('DB_USER', 'username');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
Finally, set the directory permissions for the TimeOff.Management folder, so that the web server can access it. You can do it by running the following command in your terminal:
$ chmod -R 775 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/timeoff
You're done! Now, open your web browser and visit http://localhost/timeoff to access the TimeOff.Management application.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install TimeOff.Management on NetBSD. Just follow the above steps carefully, and you'll have a fully functional time off management system in no time.
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!
