tasks.php
is an open-source PHP script for managing your daily tasks. It provides a simple and efficient task management system that you can use to organize your work and boost your productivity.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing tasks.php on nixOS Latest, a popular Linux distribution. We assume that you have a basic understanding of the Linux command-line and are familiar with the nixOS package manager.
Before you begin, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to clone the tasks.php
repository from GitHub. To do this, open up a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git
This will create a new directory called tasks.php
in your current working directory.
The second step is to copy the tasks.php
files to the web server root directory. In our example, we will use the Apache web server, which has its root directory located at /var/www/html/
.
To copy the files, run the following command:
sudo cp -r tasks.php/* /var/www/html/
This will copy all the files and folders from the tasks.php
directory to the Apache root directory.
The next step is to install the dependencies required by tasks.php
. To do this, navigate to the Apache root directory and run the following command:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo composer install
This will install all the dependencies listed in the composer.json
file.
The default configuration of tasks.php
uses a SQLite database to store tasks. However, you can use any other database supported by PHP, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
To configure the database, open up the config.php
file located in the config/
directory of the tasks.php
installation. Uncomment the appropriate lines and fill in the details of your database connection.
For example, to use a MySQL database, you would use the following configuration:
$config['database'] = [
'type' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '3306',
'name' => 'tasks',
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'password'
];
Change the values to match your database configuration.
The final step is to configure the web server to serve tasks.php
. In our example, we will use Apache.
Open up the Apache configuration file located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
. Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /tasks /var/www/html
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
This will create an alias /tasks
that points to the tasks.php
installation directory, and configure Apache to allow the use of .htaccess
files.
Save the file and restart the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You have successfully installed tasks.php
on nixOS Latest! You can now navigate to http://localhost/tasks/
(replace localhost
with your server's IP address or domain name) to access the application.

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!
