Run

Considering that we set the shell for user wekan to /usr/bin/bash, the following ENV variables can be set according the following method before starting of Wekan. These must be adapted according the shell.

$ export MONGO_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/wekan
$ export ROOT_URL=https://example.com
$ export MAIL_URL=smtp://user:pass@mailserver.example.com:25/
$ export MAIL_FROM=wekan-admin@example.com
$ export PORT=8080

Now it can be run

$ cd ~/bundle
$ node main.js

Cleanup

$ pkgin rm gmake gcc5 git jq # remove build requirements
