Your install from source misses many steps. Please check rebuild-wekan.sh at: https://github.com/wekan/wekan-maintainer/tree/master/virtualbox

Some of install steps are commented out in that rebuild-wekan.sh script because on VirtualBox I don’t install all dependencies every time, as they are already installed.

For running Wekan, in the same repo in run-wekan.sh . You need to change ROOT_URL to your full Wekan URL, like http://192.168.10.100 or http://example.com or http://example.com/wekan .
