How to Install Restyaboard on POP! OS Latest

Restyaboard is an open-source Kanban board application that helps teams manage their workflow and organize tasks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Restyaboard on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Linux operating system (POP! OS Latest)
• Nginx or Apache web server
• PHP version 7.0 or above installed and configured with your web server
• MySQL or MariaDB database server
• Git command-line tool

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies that will enable us to run Restyaboard on our system. To do this, open the terminal on POP! OS Latest and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl git zip unzip nginx mariadb-server php7.3 php7.3-fpm php7.3-mbstring php7.3-curl php7.3-mysql php7.3-xml php7.3-json php7.3-zip

Step 2: Download Restyaboard

Once we have installed all the required dependencies, we need to download the source code for Restyaboard. To do this, we will use the Git command-line tool.

cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git

Step 3: Configure Web Server

Next, we need to configure our web server to serve the Restyaboard application. If you are using Nginx, create a new virtual host:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/restyaboard

Then, paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com; # replace with your domain name
    root /var/www/html/board;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
    }
}

Save the file and close the editor. Then, enable the site and restart Nginx:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/restyaboard /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo systemctl restart nginx

If you are using Apache web server, create a new virtual host:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/restyaboard.conf

Then, paste the following configuration into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/board
    ServerName example.com # replace with your domain name

    <Directory /var/www/html/board>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/restyaboard_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/restyaboard_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and close the editor. Then, enable the site and restart Apache:

sudo a2ensite restyaboard.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Create Database

To run Restyaboard, we need to create a new database for the application. To do this, log in to your MySQL or MariaDB database server:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Then, create a new database and user:

CREATE DATABASE restyaboard_db;
CREATE USER 'restyaboard_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboard_db.* TO 'restyaboard_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace restyaboard_db, restyaboard_user and password with your desired values.

Step 5: Configure Restyaboard

The final step is to configure Restyaboard. To do this, rename the configuration file:

cd /var/www/html/board
cp config/non_api_configuration.default.php config/non_api_configuration.php

Then, edit the configuration file using your preferred text editor:

nano config/non_api_configuration.php

Update the following variables in the file:

$dbHost = 'localhost'; # leave as-is
$dbUser = 'restyaboard_user'; # your database username
$dbPassword = 'password'; # your database password
$dbName = 'restyaboard_db'; # your database name
$baseUrl = 'http://example.com'; # your website URL

Save the file and close the editor.

Step 6: Access Restyaboard

You can now access Restyaboard by visiting your website URL in a web browser. The installation process is complete, and you can start using Restyaboard to manage your workflow.
