Install Wekan Snap

Wekan allows anyone to easily work with and modify it. It also allows you to host it on your own server, which ensures that you have complete control over your data and can manipulate it as you wish.

Install Wekan snap

You should update your debian server packages:

sudo apt update

Now it’s time to install Wekan:

sudo snap install wekan

Now, You need to configure the root of the web URL for Wekan:

sudo snap set wekan root-url="http://your_server_ip"

Then, you can use the following command to set the Wekan http port:

sudo snap set wekan port='80'

Note: Set a port number to one that isn’t in use. You can use whatever port you want—we use port 3001—but don’t use a common one, like 22, 25, 443, 80, etc.

Now you should restart the MongoDB service on snap:

sudo systemctl restart snap.wekan.mongodb

Then you need to also restart the Wekan service on snap:

sudo systemctl restart snap.wekan.wekan

You can run the following command to check the status:

sudo ss -tunelp | grep 80

In the next step, you should enable the Wekan service to start on system boots:

sudo snap enable wekan

Now, you need to install MongoDB tools by the following command:

sudo apt install mongo-tools

Next, you have to restart Wekan:

sudo systemctl restart snap.wekan.wekan

Finally, you should reload snap:

sudo snap refresh
