How to Install Leantime on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will walk through the installation process for Leantime on OpenBSD. Leantime is an open-source project management application that helps teams to manage their projects, calendars, and workloads efficiently.

Prerequisites

OpenBSD machine
Superuser or root access
Internet connectivity

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

We need Apache and PHP to be installed on the OpenBSD machine.

Run the following command to install Apache:
```
$ doas pkg_add apache-httpd
```
After installation, start and enable Apache by running:
```
$ doas rcctl start apache
$ doas rcctl enable apache
```
Run the following command to install PHP:
```
$ doas pkg_add php
```
Once the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:
```
$ doas rcctl restart apache
```

Step 2: Install MariaDB

Leantime requires a database to store data. We can install the MariaDB server as it is a drop-in replacement for MySQL.

Install MariaDB by running the following command:
```
$ doas pkg_add mariadb-server
```
After the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service:
```
$ doas rcctl start mysqld
```
Run the following command to set a password for the root user:
```
$ mysqladmin -u root password NEW_PASSWORD
```

Step 3: Create a Database and User for Leantime

We need to create a database and a user for Leantime to store the data.

Log in to the MariaDB server using the following command:
```
$ mysql -u root -p
```
Enter the password for the root user.

Run the following SQL commands to create a database for Leantime:

> CREATE DATABASE leantime CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON leantime.* TO 'leantime'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace "PASSWORD" with the desired password for the Leantime user.

Exit the MariaDB shell by running:
```
> exit
```

Step 4: Download and Extract Leantime

Visit the Leantime website (https://leantime.io) and click on the "Download" button.
Copy the link to the latest version of Leantime for OpenBSD.
Download the Leantime package by running the following command:
```
$ doas ftp DOWNLOAD_LINK
```
Replace "DOWNLOAD_LINK" with the link copied in step 2.
Extract the Leantime package by running the following command:
```
$ doas tar zxvf LEANTIME_FILE.tar.gz -C /htdocs
```
Replace "LEANTIME_FILE.tar.gz" with the name of the Leantime package downloaded in step 3.

Step 5: Configure Leantime

Rename the file .env.example to .env.
Edit the .env file and set the database details:
```
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=leantime
DB_USERNAME=leantime
DB_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
```
Replace "PASSWORD" with the password set for the Leantime user in step 3.

Set the correct file permissions:

$ doas chown -R _http:_http /htdocs/leantime
$ doas chmod -R 775 /htdocs/leantime/storage

Restart the Apache service:
```
$ doas rcctl restart apache
```
Access the Leantime web interface by visiting http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/leantime in a web browser.

Note: Replace "YOUR_SERVER_IP" with the actual IP address of your OpenBSD machine.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Leantime on OpenBSD.
