Installing Kanbana on OpenSUSE Latest

Kanbana is an open-source project management tool that can be installed on Linux, including OpenSUSE Latest. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kanbana on your OpenSUSE system.

Prerequisites

Before installing Kanbana, make sure you have the following:

• A user account with sudo privileges
• OpenSUSE Latest installed on your system
• A web server, such as Apache or Nginx, installed on your system

Step 1: Update System

Ensure that your system is up-to-date with the latest patches and packages. To do so, run the following command:

sudo zypper update

Step 2: Install Node.js

Kanbana requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js on your system, you can use the following command:

sudo zypper install nodejs

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Kanbana also requires MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB, run the following command:

sudo zypper addrepo --no-gpgcheck https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mongodb/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/server:database:mongodb.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install mongodb

Once installed, start and enable the MongoDB service:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 4: Install Kanbana

Clone the Kanbana repository to your system:

git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git

Next, navigate to the Kanbana directory:

cd kanbana

Install the required packages using npm:

npm install

Step 5: Configure Kanbana

Create a configuration file by copying the sample configuration file:

cp config.js.sample config.js

Modify config.js to match your system's configuration. You will need to specify the MongoDB connection string, the host and port on which Kanbana will run, and other settings.

module.exports = {
  db: {
    url: 'mongodb://localhost/kanbana'
  },
  server: {
    host: '0.0.0.0',
    port: 3000
  },
  users: [
    {
      username: 'admin',
      password: 'admin'
    }
  ],
  ...
};

Step 6: Run Kanbana

Run Kanbana using the following command:

npm start

You can now access Kanbana by navigating to http://yourservername:3000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

With these six steps completed, you should now have Kanbana installed and running on your OpenSUSE Latest system. You can configure projects and users within Kanbana to suit your needs. Enjoy using Kanbana for your project management!
