How to Install myTinyTodo on Fedora CoreOS Latest?

myTinyTodo is a simple, easy-to-use and customizable web-based task management application designed for personal or small team use. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install myTinyTodo on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that you have the following:

• A running Fedora CoreOS instance.
• A sudo user to run the installation commands.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To begin the installation, we need to install some required packages on the system. We can do this using the dnf package manager by running the command below:

$ sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysql php-pdo php-mbstring

Step 2: Start and Enable Required Services

After installing the required packages, we need to start and enable the required services using the systemctl command.

$ sudo systemctl start httpd
$ sudo systemctl enable httpd
$ sudo systemctl start mariadb
$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 3: Configure MySQL Database

Now, we need to configure the MySQL database for myTinyTodo to store the data. We can do this by running the commands below:

$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
$ sudo mysql -u root -p

Once you are logged in to MySQL, run the commands below to create a new database and user, then grant the user all permissions on the database.

CREATE DATABASE myTinyTodo;
CREATE USER 'mytinytodo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<your-password>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON myTinyTodo.* TO 'mytinytodo'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 4: Download and Install myTinyTodo

Next, we need to download myTinyTodo from the official website to the Apache webroot directory.

$ sudo wget -qO- https://www.mytinytodo.net/dl.php/latest | sudo tar xvz -C /var/www/html/
$ sudo mv /var/www/html/tinytodo/* /var/www/html/
$ sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/tinytodo/

We also need to set the correct ownership and permissions on the directories and files.

$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/

Step 5: Configure myTinyTodo

Now that myTinyTodo is installed, we need to configure it to connect to the MySQL database we created earlier.

Edit the file /var/www/html/config.inc.php using your favorite text editor and change the MySQL configuration details to match your settings.

$ sudo nano /var/www/html/config.inc.php

Update the following lines:

$tt_mysql_server     = 'localhost';
$tt_mysql_database   = 'myTinyTodo';
$tt_mysql_user       = 'mytinytodo';
$tt_mysql_password   = '<your-password>';

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Access myTinyTodo

Finally, we can access the myTinyTodo web interface by entering the server's IP address or domain name in a web browser followed by /index.php. For example, http://your-ip-address/index.php.

You will be prompted to enter a username and password to log in. The default login is admin with the password admin.

Once logged in, you can start using myTinyTodo to manage your tasks.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed myTinyTodo on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now use this simple and easy-to-use task management application to keep track of your work and manage your daily tasks.
