How to Install Restyaboard on OpenSUSE Latest

Restyaboard is an open-source Kanban board, which is commonly used for project management or task tracking. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Restyaboard on the OpenSUSE Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

• A fresh installation of OpenSUSE Latest on your system.
• Basic knowledge of the terminal.

Step 1: Install LAMP Stack

The first thing you'll need to do is to install a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) on your system. The easiest way to do this on OpenSUSE is to use the built-in packages.

1. Open a terminal window and run the following command to update the system:

sudo zypper update

2. Next, install the LAMP stack packages by running the following command:

sudo zypper install apache2 mysql-server php7 php7-mysql php7-curl php7-gd php7-intl php7-mbstring php7-zip

3. Once the packages are installed, start the Apache and MySQL services and enable them to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start apache2

sudo systemctl start mysql

sudo systemctl enable apache2

sudo systemctl enable mysql

Step 2: Install Restyaboard

Once the LAMP stack is installed, you can proceed with the Restyaboard installation process.

1. Download the latest version of Restyaboard from the official Github repository:

wget https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/releases/download/v0.2.0/restyaboard-v0.2.0.zip

2. Extract the downloaded Restyaboard package to the default Apache document root directory:

sudo unzip -d /srv/www/htdocs/ restyaboard-v0.2.0.zip

3. Set the appropriate permissions for the extracted files and directories:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /srv/www/htdocs/restyaboard

4. Create a new MySQL database and user for Restyaboard:

sudo mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE restyaboard;

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboard.* TO 'restyaboard_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> EXIT;

5. Copy the default Restya configuration file and modify it with your database credentials:

sudo cp /srv/www/htdocs/restyaboard/app/config/production/database_sample.php /srv/www/htdocs/restyaboard/app/config/production/database.php

sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/restyaboard/app/config/production/database.php

'db_name' => 'restyaboard',
'db_user' => 'restyaboard_user',
'db_password' => 'password',

6. Finally, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL to access the Restyaboard application:

http://localhost/restyaboard

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Restyaboard on OpenSUSE Latest.
