myTinyTodo is a simple yet powerful web-based task manager that is designed to be easy to use and customizable. If you are using OpenBSD, you can easily install myTinyTodo and start organizing your tasks and to-do lists. This guide will walk you through the steps to install myTinyTodo on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
The first step is to download the latest version of myTinyTodo from the official website. You can download it from the following link:
https://www.mytinytodo.net/downloads.php
Extract the downloaded file to a directory accessible through your web server. For example, if your web server's document root is /var/www/htdocs, you can extract the file to /var/www/htdocs/myTinyTodo.
Before you can use myTinyTodo, you need to configure it to work with your web server and database. The configuration file is located at config/config.php.
Open the configuration file in your favorite text editor and set the following parameters:
'mysql'.You can also configure other parameters such as the default sorting order and date format according to your preference.
Now that you have configured myTinyTodo to connect to your database, you need to create the database and its user account if it doesn't already exist.
Log in to your MySQL or MariaDB server using the mysql command-line client:
# mysql -u root -p
Replace root with the username of your database administrator account.
Enter your password when prompted.
Create a new database using the following command:
mysql> create database mytinytodo;
Replace mytinytodo with the name of your database.
Next, create a user account that myTinyTodo can use to connect to the database:
mysql> create user 'mytinytodo'@'localhost' identified by 'secretpassword';
Replace mytinytodo and secretpassword with the desired username and password.
Grant the user account permission to access the database:
mysql> grant all on mytinytodo.* to 'mytinytodo'@'localhost';
Finally, exit the MySQL client:
mysql> exit
myTinyTodo requires several PHP extensions to function properly. On OpenBSD, you can install these extensions using the pkg_add command.
Open a terminal window and run the following commands to install the required PHP extensions:
# pkg_add php-mysqli php-pdo_mysql php-json
With myTinyTodo installed and configured, you can now test the installation by navigating to the URL of your installation in your web browser (e.g. 'https://example.com/myTinyTodo').
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the myTinyTodo login page. Enter the credentials you set in the configuration file to log in and start using myTinyTodo.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install myTinyTodo on an OpenBSD server. With myTinyTodo, you can easily manage your tasks and to-do lists from anywhere using a web browser.
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!
