Open-Source Focalboard Now Deployable on Rocky Linux 9 with Nginx SSL Termination
Focalboard, an open-source project management tool, can now be deployed on Rocky Linux 9 with SSL termination behind Nginx. This provides teams with a secure, self-hosted alternative to external SaaS services.
Rocky Linux 9 offers a stable foundation for Focalboard, featuring SELinux enforcement, systemd 252, OpenSSL 3, PostgreSQL 15, and modern Node.js support. To begin, set up a clean VPS instance on Shape.Host. Update the system and install dependencies, including Nginx with SSL support.
Afterwards, download and extract Focalboard. Configure it using a systemd service for seamless integration. Although Focalboard uses SQLite by default, installing and configuring PostgreSQL is recommended for better performance and scalability.
To ensure secure communication, configure Nginx as a reverse proxy and obtain an SSL certificate using Let's Encrypt. This will enable SSL termination, protecting data in transit.
Deploying Focalboard on Rocky Linux 9 provides a secure, stable, and long-term supported platform for project management. By self-hosting, teams maintain complete control of their infrastructure and data, avoiding reliance on external SaaS services. With Nginx and SSL termination, the deployment is secure and ready for productive use.
