Kandesk

Kandesk is a simple trello-like app that I created for my own needs and for learning elixir & liveview. It has a simple set of features. I use it every day (hosting it on a small raspberry pi3) and it is suitable for individuals or small teams.

Installation & requirements

Elixir 1.12+ is required to run Kandesk.

To start your Phoenix server:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup
• Install Node.js dependencies with cd assets && npm install
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server

Create a first admin user

To be able to connect to the application, a first admin user must be created. This is done by running:

mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs

Then you can connect with "admin@admin.com" as Email and "admin" as Password. Then you will be able to change everything from within the application, password included ;-)

Avatars

Avatars are currently saved to disk at "/srv/www/kandesk". You need to create this directory with the required rights to be able to save & use avatars with your installation.

Access the application

Now you can visit localhost:4001 from your browser.

Ready to run in production? Please check our deployment guides.
