TimeOff.Management is a cloud-based time off management software that enables businesses to manage employee vacation requests, sick days, and other time-offs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of TimeOff.Management on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Void Linux system
• Root access
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Node.js

TimeOff.Management is built on Node.js, so the first step is to install Node.js on your Void Linux system. To install Node.js, open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo xbps-install -S nodejs

This command will install Node.js and its dependencies on your system.

Step 2: Install MongoDB

TimeOff.Management uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB on Void Linux, run the following commands:

sudo xbps-install -S mongodb
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mongodb /var/service/
sv start mongodb

The first command will install MongoDB and its dependencies, and the second and third commands will create a symbolic link and start the MongoDB service.

Step 3: Clone the TimeOff.Management Repository

Next, you need to clone the TimeOff.Management repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/application.git

This command will clone the TimeOff.Management repository to your current directory.

Step 4: Install TimeOff.Management

Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the application directory and run the following command to install TimeOff.Management:

cd application
npm install

This command will install all the dependencies required by TimeOff.Management.

Step 5: Configure TimeOff.Management

Now that you have installed TimeOff.Management, you need to configure it. To do this, navigate to the config directory and create a new file named production.json:

cd config && touch production.json

Then, open the file using a text editor and paste the following configuration:

{
  "database": {
    "url": "mongodb://localhost/timeoff-management"
  },
  "server": {
    "port": 3000,
    "host": "0.0.0.0",
    "secret": "changeme"
  }
}

Make sure to replace the secret property with a strong secret key.
