Installation and setup on Fedora -------------------------------- tl;dr: taskd will run as a 'taskd' user, so the config and certificates should be readable by that user after you create them. # Generate ca, server and client keys su - taskd cd /etc/pki/taskd ./generate # Set up an organization and user taskd add org ORGNAME --data /var/lib/taskd taskd add user ORGNAME USERNAME --data /var/lib/taskd exit # to bail on the taskd user. This will print out a key that you need to save. It might look something like this: New user key: b981dda6-8f6d-4610-90f2-a34e593e270f # Open a firewall port firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=taskd # Start taskd systemctl start taskd On your your_client, install taskwarrior from the Fedora repos as usual. Then, copy down the client certificates that were conveniently generated on your server: scp your_server:/etc/pki/taskd/client.\*.pem ~/.task/. Configure your taskwarrior client to talk to your_server. Add the following to your local ~/.taskrc: taskd.server=your_server:6544 taskd.credentials=ORGNAME/USERNAME/USER_KEY taskd.certificate=/home/USERNAME/.task/client.cert.pem taskd.key=/home/USERNAME/.task/client.key.pem taskd.trust=yes On your local client, try it out: task sync initialize task sync
