TaskBoard is a web-based to-do list and task management tool that can help you manage your work more efficiently. Here is a tutorial on how to install TaskBoard on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• OpenSUSE Latest
• Apache or Nginx web server
• PHP version 7.2 or higher
• MySQL or MariaDB database
• Git

Step 1: Install Git

The first step is to install Git on your operating system. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo zypper install git

Step 2: Install Apache or Nginx web server

Next, we need to install a web server to host the TaskBoard application. If you don't have Apache or Nginx installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command:

For Apache:

sudo zypper install apache2

For Nginx:

sudo zypper install nginx

Step 3: Install PHP

We also need to install PHP on our system to run the TaskBoard application. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo zypper install php-fpm php-mysql

Step 4: Install MySQL or MariaDB

We now need to install MySQL or MariaDB database to store the TaskBoard data. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo zypper install mariadb mariadb-client

After installing the database server, start the MySQL service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mysql

Step 5: Clone TaskBoard Repository

Now, it's time to clone TaskBoard repository from the official GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard.git /var/www/taskboard

Step 6: Install Dependencies

TaskBoard requires several third-party packages to function correctly. To install all dependencies, navigate to the TaskBoard directory and run the following command:

sudo composer install

Step 7: Configure Database

We need to create a new database for TaskBoard and grant access to a new user. Run the following commands to achieve this:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE taskboard;
CREATE USER 'taskboard'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON taskboard.* TO 'taskboard'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT;

Step 8: Configure TaskBoard

Lastly, we need to configure the TaskBoard application by editing the config.php file located in the /var/www/taskboard directory. Replace the database credentials with the following:

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['database'] = 'taskboard';
$config['db']['username'] = 'taskboard';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';

Step 9: Restart Services

Now, we need to restart the services to apply the changes. Run the following commands:

For Apache:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

For Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Step 10: Access TaskBoard
