How to Install Kanboard on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Kanboard is a simple and efficient Kanban board application that allows you to manage your projects and tasks with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Kanboard on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need the following:

  • A running instance of Fedora CoreOS, with root access.
  • Docker installed on the system.

Step 1: Create a Docker Compose File

First, you need to create a Docker Compose file. Open a new file named docker-compose.yaml and enter the following:

version: '3'

services:
  kanboard:
    image: kanboard/kanboard:latest
    container_name: kanboard
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    environment:
      - APP_VERSION=latest
      - APP_DB_DRIVER=mysql
      - APP_DB_HOST=db
      - APP_DB_NAME=kanboard
      - APP_DB_USERNAME=root
      - APP_DB_PASSWORD=secret
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/www/app/data

This file will create a Docker container running Kanboard, and configure it to listen on port 80, with a persistent data directory mounted from the local ./data directory.

Step 2: Start the Kanboard Container

To start the Kanboard container, run the following command:

$ docker-compose up -d

This will download the necessary image from Docker Hub and start the Kanboard container in the background. You can check the status of the container using the following command:

$ docker-compose ps

You should see something like the following output:

   Name     Command    State  Ports
------------------------------------
kanboard   /init      Up     80/tcp

Step 3: Access Kanboard

Once the container is up and running, you can access Kanboard by navigating to your server's IP address or domain name on port 80. For example: http://your_server_ip/.

You should now see the Kanboard login page. To log in, use the default username admin and password admin.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Kanboard on Fedora CoreOS using Docker Compose. With this setup, you can easily manage your projects and tasks with Kanboard from anywhere.
