#### Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have: - Docker installed on your Rocky Linux 8 server - Basic familiarity with Docker commands and containers - Access to the command line interface on your server #### Step 1: Install Docker on Rocky Linux 8 If Docker is not already installed, follow these steps to install it: ```bash sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io sudo systemctl start docker sudo systemctl enable docker ``` #### Step 2: Deploy Planka Using Docker Create a Docker Compose file for Planka. Create a new directory for your Planka setup: ```bash mkdir planka && cd planka ``` Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the following content: ```yaml version: '3' services: planka: image: plankapp/planka:latest ports: - "80:3000" environment: - DATABASE_URL=sqlite3:///data/planka.sqlite3 volumes: - ./data:/data restart: always ``` Save the file and deploy Planka with Docker Compose: ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` #### Step 3: Access Planka Web Interface Once deployed, access the Planka web interface using your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser: ``` http://your-server-ip-or-domain ``` Follow the on-screen instructions to set up an admin account and configure Planka. #### Step 4: Optional: Configure Persistent Database For production setups, consider configuring a persistent database like PostgreSQL or MySQL instead of SQLite. #### Step 5: Optional: Configure HTTPS (Recommended) Secure your Planka installation by configuring HTTPS using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates or your own SSL certificates. #### Conclusion You have successfully deployed Planka using Docker on Rocky Linux 8. Start using Planka to manage your projects efficiently with its intuitive interface and collaborative features. **Additional Resources:** - **Planka GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/plankanban/planka](https://github.com/plankanban/planka) - **Docker Documentation:** [https://docs.docker.com/](https://docs.docker.com/) - **Rocky Linux Documentation:** [https://docs.rockylinux.org/](https://docs.rockylinux.org/)
