Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Vikunja requires Python 3.5+ and PostgreSQL 9.6+ to run. You can install them using the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip postgresql-13 postgresql-client-13 postgresql-server-dev-13 libpq-dev

Step 2: Create PostgreSQL Database

Next, we need to create a PostgreSQL database for Vikunja. To do this, run the following commands in your terminal:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P vikunjauser --interactive
sudo -u postgres createdb -O vikunjauser vikunja

You will be prompted to enter a password for the vikunjauser user. Choose a secure password and remember it.

Step 3: Download and Extract Vikunja

Download the latest version of Vikunja using the following command:

wget https://dl.vikunja.io/main/latest/vikunja-linux-amd64.zip

Next, extract the downloaded ZIP file using the following command:

unzip vikunja-linux-amd64.zip

This will create a directory named vikunja in your current working directory.

Step 4: Configure Vikunja

Create a configuration file for Vikunja using the following command:

cp vikunja/config.toml.example vikunja/config.toml

Open the vikunja/config.toml file using your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

  • Set the listen value to "127.0.0.1:3030" to bind the server to the loopback interface only.
  • Set the dsn value to "postgres://vikunjauser:password@localhost:5432/vikunja" where password is the password you set during database creation.

Step 5: Start Vikunja

To start Vikunja, navigate to the vikunja directory and run the following command:

./vikunja -migrate-up

This will start Vikunja and migrate the database to the latest version.
