Install on Ubuntu without Docker

Thanks for your quick reply. Here’s what I did then:

  • Duplicate the executable file inside the extracted archive, so that /opt/vikunja/vikunja exists
    cp vikunja-v0.17.1-linux-386 vikunja

  • Create the user ad DB
    mysql -u root -p
    CREATE USER 'vikunja'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
    CREATE DATABASE vikunja;
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vikunja.* TO 'vikunja'@'localhost';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES

The service is then running, and some 20 tables have appeared in the database vikunja, all good! A few questions I have:

  • What user should run vikunja?
  • Is it normal that the service doesn’t appear when running service --status-all

I briefly saw a button “Register” on the front end. However, now it is gone again, and I get Could not find or use Vikunja installation at "api:3456". if I click on the Change URL button.

Launching “https://subdomain.mydomain.tld/api/v1/info” redirects to /login . It has an “Info” banner above the login fields, but with no content.

How can I continue debugging?
