  • Administrative access to the OpenBSD machine
  • A working SSH client for remote access to the machine

Installation Steps

  1. Launch your SSH client and connect to your OpenBSD machine.

  2. Install the required dependencies for tasks.php:

$ sudo pkg_add php php-curl
  1. Clone the tasks.php repository from Github:
$ git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git

  1. Create a new directory for your task list:
$ mkdir /var/www/html/tasks
  1. Copy the 'tasks.php' file and the 'public' directory to the newly created 'tasks' directory:
$ cp -r tasks.php public /var/www/html/tasks
  1. Change the permission for the 'tasks' directory to 755:
$ chmod 755 /var/www/html/tasks
  1. Enable the PHP-FPM server and start it:
$ sudo rcctl enable php72_fpm
$ sudo rcctl start php72_fpm
  1. Create a new configuration file for tasks.php:

  1. Add the following configuration options:
[tasksp]
user = www
group = www
listen = /run/php-fpm/tasksp.sock
listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
php_admin_value[open_basedir] = /var/www/html/tasks:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp
php_admin_value[session.save_path] = /var/www/tmp

  1. Save and close the configuration file.

  2. Restart the PHP-FPM server:

$ sudo rcctl restart php72_fpm
  1. Finally, launch your web browser and navigate to http:///tasks/tasks.php to access tasks.php and start creating tasks.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed tasks.php on your OpenBSD machine.
