How to Install Leantime on Void Linux

Leantime is a project management platform that allows you to plan and track projects, tasks, and milestones. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Leantime on a Void Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the latest version of Void Linux installed on your system. You also need to have the following dependencies installed:

• Git
• PHP
• Composer
• SQLite

To install the dependencies, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S git php composer sqlite

Step 1: Clone Leantime Repository

The first step is to clone the Leantime repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Leantime/leantime.git

This will clone the Leantime repository into a new directory called leantime.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the leantime directory and run the following command to install the dependencies:

composer install --no-dev

This command will install all the required dependencies for Leantime.

Step 3: Configure Database

Leantime requires a database to store project information. In this tutorial, we will be using SQLite, but you can also use other relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

To configure the database, create a new file named database.sqlite in the database directory:

touch database/database.sqlite

Next, copy the .env.example file to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file with a text editor and modify the following lines to reflect your database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=/full/path/to/database.sqlite

Replace /full/path/to/database.sqlite with the full path to the database.sqlite file you created earlier.

Step 4: Install Leantime

You can now install Leantime by running the following command:

php artisan leantime:install

This command will install the Leantime application and create the required database tables.

Step 5: Run Leantime

Finally, you can run Leantime by running the following command:

php artisan serve

This will start the Leantime server, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Leantime on your Void Linux system. You can now use Leantime to plan and manage your projects.

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!
