The following tutorial will guide you through the process of installing tasks.php on OpenSUSE Latest. Tasks.php is a task manager written in PHP, which allows you to organize your daily tasks and schedule them.
Before you start installing tasks.php, you must ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on your OpenSUSE system. These dependencies include Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
To install Apache, use the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2
To install PHP, use the following command:
sudo zypper install php7 php7-mysqlnd
To install MySQL, use the following command:
sudo zypper install mysql mysql-client
After installing the dependencies, configure them accordingly to run tasks.php successfully.
To download tasks.php, you must clone the repository from GitHub. To do so, use the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git
Once the download is complete, you will have files within the cloned repository that you can use later.
To create a MySQL database that tasks.php can use, use the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
When prompted, enter your MySQL root password. Then you can create a new database with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE tasks;
CREATE USER 'tasks'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tasks.* TO 'tasks'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace "password" with your preferred database user password. You will use this later to configure tasks.php.
To configure tasks.php, you must access the config.php file that is located in the cloned repository. To do so, run the following commands:
cd tasks.php
cp config.sample.php config.php
nano config.php
The first command changes the current working directory to the cloned repository's root directory. The second command creates a copy of the sample config file. The third command creates and opens the original config file using the nano editor.
You must then edit the config.php file to include your MySQL database details. Specifically, you must change the following values according to your MySQL setup:
define("DB_HOST", 'localhost');
define("DB_USER", 'tasks');
define("DB_PASSWORD",'password');
define("DB_DATABASE", 'tasks');
Replace "password" with your MySQL user password. Save the changes and exit the editor.
To configure Apache, you must create a new virtual host configuration file. Use the following commands to do so:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tasks.conf
Then, add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mytasks.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/tasks.php
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/tasks-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/tasks-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "mytasks.mydomain.com" with your preferred domain name. Then save and exit the editor.
Now you must enable your newly created virtual host configuration. You can do this with the following commands:
sudo a2ensite tasks.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
The first command enables the tasks.conf file. The second command restarts Apache to apply the changes.
If you did everything correctly, you can now use a web browser to navigate to your virtual host. Type in the following address:
http://mytasks.mydomain.com
Replace "mytasks.mydomain.com" with the domain name you used earlier. You should now be able to access tasks.php and start scheduling and organizing your tasks.
That's it! You have successfully installed tasks.php on OpenSUSE Latest. With tasks.php, you can organize your tasks and schedule them as you see fit. Good luck!
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!
