Restyaboard is an open-source kanban board software that allows a user to manage tasks and collaborate effectively. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Restyaboard on OpenBSD.
Before we start with the installation process of Restyaboard, we need to install the required dependencies. OpenBSD uses the pkg_add command to install packages from the OpenBSD package repository. We can install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add node ruby ruby-bundler ruby-rake mariadb-server mariadb-client mariadb
Download the latest release of Restyaboard from https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/releases. Extract the downloaded file in the desired directory. In this tutorial, we will extract Restyaboard in the /opt directory.
sudo tar -xzf restyaboard-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /opt/
After extracting Restyaboard, navigate to the extracted directory and install Restyaboard using the following command:
sudo bundle install
We need to create a MariaDB database to store the Restyaboard data. Log in to the MariaDB server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a new database and a user to access the database:
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE restyaboard;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboard.* TO 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
Copy the example configuration file to the main configuration file and edit the configuration file to specify the database connection details:
sudo cp config/application.yml.example config/application.yml
sudo vi config/application.yml
Replace the following lines in the file with the database connection details:
production:
database:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8mb4
collation: utf8mb4_unicode_ci
pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
host: localhost
username: root
password: ''
database: restyaboard
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
Change the username and password to the newly created MariaDB user and password respectively.
After configuring Restyaboard, start it using the following command:
sudo rake restyaboard:build
sudo rake restyaboard:start
Now, you can access the Restyaboard using a web browser by visiting http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we have learned the steps to install Restyaboard on OpenBSD. Restyaboard is now ready to use for managing tasks and collaborating effectively.
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!
