In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Kanboard, a project management software, on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
To install Kanboard, we need to install some additional packages on our server. Open your terminal and run the following command:
pkg_add php php-curl php-mbstring php-pdo_sqlite php-zip sqlite
This will install PHP and SQLite which are required for Kanboard to work properly.
Next, we need to download Kanboard. You can download the latest version of Kanboard from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the file using the following command:
unzip master.zip
This will create a new directory called kanboard-master in the current directory.
Next, we need to move the contents of the Kanboard directory to the document root of our web server. In OpenBSD, the document root is located at /htdocs/. To move the files, run the following command:
mv kanboard-master/* /htdocs/
This will move all the files and directories from the kanboard-master directory to the default document root.
Now that we have moved the files to the document root, we need to configure Kanboard. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your server in the address bar followed by /install.php. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.100, enter http://192.168.0.100/install.php.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Kanboard. You will need to set up a database, create an admin account, and configure some basic settings.
Once Kanboard is configured, you can access it by entering the IP address of your server in the address bar of your web browser followed by /index.php. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.100, enter http://192.168.0.100/index.php.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kanboard on OpenBSD. You can now use Kanboard to manage your projects and tasks.
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!
