Setup
Manual setup
- Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git
- Navigate to the cloned repo directory
$ cd kanbana
- Install dependencies
$ npm install
- Start the server
$ npm run
A server will start at port 3000.
You can change the port and cache time two ways:
- CLI Arguments (takes priority)
-
-p <port>
-
-c <cache time>
(in minutes).
-
- Environment variables
-
PORT=<port>
-
CACHE=<cache time>
(in minutes).
-
Docker setup
docker run
docker run \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v "$PWD/boards:/usr/src/app/boards" \
-v "$PWD/images:/usr/src/app/images" \
-v "$PWD/labels.css:/usr/src/app/assets/labels.css" \
srgmc/kanbana
This command will start the container and mount $PWD/boards
and $PWD/images
inside it, so you can add images and boards. If you do not want to customize labels.css
, remove -v "$PWD/labels.css:/usr/src/app/assets/labels.css"
from the command.
Docker compose
version: "3"
services:
kanbana:
environment:
PORT: 3000 # Optional
CACHE: 10 # Optional, in minutes
image: srgmc/kanbana
ports:
- "3000:3000" # If PORT is changed, this must be changed too
volumes:
- "/path/to/boards:/usr/src/app/boards"
- "/path/to/images:/usr/src/app/images"
- "/path/to/labels.css:/usr/src/app/assets/labels.css" # Optional
Usage
How to create boards
- Create a file in the ./boards directory.
- Add the following content:
---
"name": "Kanbana",
"picture": "none"
---
# Headers
* [UI] Labels
* [1h] Timers
* [25m] [UI] Labels and timers
* [ ] Uncompleted task
* [x] Completed task
# Markdown
* **Bold**
* *Italic*
* `code`
- Acess your boards a
http://<server ip>:<port>/board/<board name>
orhttp://<server ip>:<port>/board/<board name>.md
Note:
- Each heading followed by a list will be converted to a card.
- You can create more than one board on the same page by duplicating the content above in the same file.
Header images
Header images can be used in three ways:
none
: Don't display any images/images/path-to-images.png
: Add images to theimages
directory and fetch them from Kanbana's serverhttps://example.com/example.png
: Use an URL to fetch an external images
Example:
<!-- No image -->
---
"name": "Kanbana",
"picture": "none"
---
<!-- Internal image -->
---
"name": "Kanbana",
"picture": "/images/image.png"
---
<!-- External image -->
---
"name": "Kanbana",
"picture": "https://example.com/example.png"
---
Labels, timers and tasks
To add labels and timers, use:
<!-- Labels -->
[Title] [labels]
<!-- Timers -->
[2d] 2 days
[3h] 3 hours
[30m] 30 minutes
Using tasks is easy too:
[ ] Uncompleted task
[x] Completed task
Custom labels
Labels can be customized using CSS
To create custom labels, edit assets/labels.css
. A custom label follows this sintax: .label--<label name>
.
For example, to create a Help needed label with yellow color, create the class:
.label--help-needed {
background-color: #ffd43b;
color: #000;
}
and use the label
[help needed]
