Kanbana is a self-hosted Kanban board application that helps the users to visualize their work process, track their progress, and collaborate with their team members. Here's a tutorial on how to install Kanbana on NixOS Latest.
First, you need to clone the Kanbana repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git
Kanbana requires a PostgreSQL database to store the application data. To install PostgreSQL on NixOS, run the following command:
nix-env -i postgresql
After installing PostgreSQL, you need to create a new database for Kanbana. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P kanbana
sudo -u postgres createdb -O kanbana kanbana
Next, you need to install the Kanbana dependencies. Navigate to the Kanbana directory that you cloned in step 1 and run the following command:
nix-shell --run "npm install"
After installing the dependencies, you need to configure Kanbana. You can find the configuration file at config/local.json
.
Open the file and make the following changes:
database
section.secret
key.Here is an example configuration file:
{
"database": {
"client": "pg",
"connection": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"user": "kanbana",
"password": "password",
"database": "kanbana"
}
},
"secret": "your-secret-key"
}
Finally, you can start Kanbana with the following command:
nix-shell --run "npm run start"
Kanbana will start running on port 3000
. To access the Kanbana application, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000
.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kanbana on NixOS Latest.
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!
