Vikunja is a self-hosted todo list and task management web application. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Vikunja on Windows 10.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Open Git Bash and type the following command to clone the Vikunja repository:
git clone https://github.com/vikunja/vikunja.git
This will clone the Vikunja repository to your local directory.
Go to the Docker Desktop website and download the installation file for Windows 10.
Once the download is complete, run the installation file and follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop.
Open Git Bash and navigate to the Vikunja directory by typing:
cd vikunja
Then, run the following command to start the Vikunja Docker container:
docker-compose up
This will start the Vikunja Docker container and download all the necessary dependencies.
Once the container is up and running, you can access Vikunja by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3456.
You will need to create an initial user account to use Vikunja. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account.
To stop the Vikunja Docker container, open Git Bash and navigate to the Vikunja directory by typing:
cd vikunja
Then, run the following command to stop the container:
docker-compose down
This will stop and remove the Vikunja Docker container.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install Vikunja on Windows 10. Now you can use Vikunja to manage your tasks and todo lists on your own server.
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!
