Wekan installed but is not visible in menu.

[COOKIE-1816]

I installed Wekan from snap (version 6.09 from channel latest/stable) on my laptop with Arch Linux (kernel 5.18.9-arch1-1, x86_64). But Wekan does not show in application menu (DE: Plasma 5.25.2, WM: KWin), even after logging out and logging back in to the system.

sudo snap install wekan

Check what is your computer IP address, with some command like this:

ip address

For that Stable version, change below root-url to your IP address

sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://192.168.0.200'

sudo snap set wekan port='80'

And then with Chromium/Firefox/Safari based desktop or mobile webbrowser go to that http://192.168.0.200 (change your IP address there).

You can create mobile app icon this way:

Making backup https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Backup

WeKan uses Node.js and MongoDB. Raw database files are at /var/snap/wekan/common , but it's better to make backup with mongodump .

If you would like to try newer candidate version of WeKan, and have made backups or are starting new install, you can delete stable version and change to newer candidate:

sudo snap stop wekan

sudo rm -rf /var/snap/wekan/common/*

sudo snap remove wekan

sudo snap install wekan --channel=latest/candidate

# Your computer IP address below:
sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://192.168.0.200'

sudo snap set wekan port='80'

You can check is wekan.wekan and wekan.mongodb active and enabled with:

sudo snap services

You can enable and start them with:

sudo snap enable wekan

sudo snap start wekan

You can see your current WeKan version with:

sudo snap list

To force immediate update of all Snaps, you can do:

sudo snap refresh

If you only use WeKan locally at same computer, you can do:

sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://localhost'
