myTinyTodo is a simple and lightweight web-based todo list manager that is perfect for personal and small group use. To install myTinyTodo on your POP! OS system, follow the steps below:
The first step in the installation process is to ensure that you have all the necessary dependencies installed on your system. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.4 php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-sqlite3
This will install the Apache web server along with PHP and its required libraries.
Once the necessary dependencies are installed, download the latest version of myTinyTodo from the official website: https://www.mytinytodo.net/
You can download the archive file in either zip or tar format.
After downloading the archive file, extract its contents to the Apache web server's document root directory. The default document root directory for Apache on POP! OS is /var/www/html/.
Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the myTinyTodo archive file. Then run the following command to extract the archive file:
sudo tar -xzf mytinytodo-x.y.z.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Replace mytinytodo-x.y.z.tar.gz with the actual name of the archive file you downloaded and x.y.z with the version number.
Next, you need to set the appropriate folder permissions for the myTinyTodo directory. Run the following command to set the folder permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mytinytodo/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/mytinytodo/
This command sets the owner and group of the myTinyTodo directory to www-data and grants read, write, and execute permissions to the owner, and read and execute permissions to everyone else.
Now you need to configure Apache to serve the myTinyTodo application. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mytinytodo.conf
Then add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mytinytodo/
<Directory /var/www/html/mytinytodo/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mytinytodo_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mytinytodo_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit the editor.
Enable the mytinytodo virtual host configuration with the following command:
sudo a2ensite mytinytodo.conf
Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now that myTinyTodo is installed and configured, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/mytinytodo/.
You can create a new user account and start adding tasks to your todo list.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed myTinyTodo on your POP! OS 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!
