TaskBoard is a web-based to-do list and task management tool that can help you manage your work more efficiently. Here is a tutorial on how to install TaskBoard on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we start with the installation process, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install Git on your operating system. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper install git
Next, we need to install a web server to host the TaskBoard application. If you don't have Apache or Nginx installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command:
For Apache:
sudo zypper install apache2
For Nginx:
sudo zypper install nginx
We also need to install PHP on our system to run the TaskBoard application. You can install it by running the following command:
sudo zypper install php-fpm php-mysql
We now need to install MySQL or MariaDB database to store the TaskBoard data. You can install it by running the following command:
sudo zypper install mariadb mariadb-client
After installing the database server, start the MySQL service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mysql
Now, it's time to clone TaskBoard repository from the official GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard.git /var/www/taskboard
TaskBoard requires several third-party packages to function correctly. To install all dependencies, navigate to the TaskBoard directory and run the following command:
sudo composer install
We need to create a new database for TaskBoard and grant access to a new user. Run the following commands to achieve this:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE taskboard;
CREATE USER 'taskboard'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON taskboard.* TO 'taskboard'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT;
Lastly, we need to configure the TaskBoard application by editing the config.php file located in the /var/www/taskboard directory. Replace the database credentials with the following:
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['database'] = 'taskboard';
$config['db']['username'] = 'taskboard';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';
Now, we need to restart the services to apply the changes. Run the following commands:
For Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
For Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
Visit your browser and navigate to the following URL to access the TaskBoard application:
http://localhost/taskboard/
We have provided a step-by-step instruction on how to install TaskBoard on OpenSUSE Latest. By following these instructions, you should now have a fully functional TaskBoard application running on your system.
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!
