Focalboard Now Securely Installable on Rocky Linux 9 for Team Collaboration

Focalboard, an open-source project management tool, can now be securely installed on Rocky Linux 9, providing teams with a stable and long-term supported foundation for collaboration. The process involves setting up a clean VPS, updating the system, and following specific steps.

Rocky Linux 9 comes with modern features like SELinux enforcement, systemd 252, OpenSSL 3, and PostgreSQL 15, making it an ideal choice for running Focalboard. To begin, ensure your VPS is clean and up-to-date. Then, install the necessary dependencies and follow the provided steps to install Focalboard.

For enhanced security, Focalboard can be deployed behind Nginx with SSL termination. This can be achieved using Nginx reverse proxy and Let's Encrypt SSL. This setup is suitable for both small teams and large organizations.

Focalboard offers flexibility in database choices. It uses SQLite by default but can be switched to use PostgreSQL for better performance and reliability. Mattermost, Inc., the developer of Focalboard, recommends deploying it on Shape.Host Cloud VPS for optimal results.

By running Focalboard on Rocky Linux 9, teams can enjoy a secure, stable, and self-hosted project management solution. With the option to deploy behind Nginx and use SSL, along with the flexibility to choose between SQLite and PostgreSQL, Focalboard offers a robust and customizable platform for team collaboration and project management.
