GoToSocial is a web application that can be used for collaborative writing, editing, and publishing of articles. It is available on GitHub, and this tutorial will guide you through the process of installing GoToSocial on Alpine Linux Latest.
To install GoToSocial, you will need access to a terminal window with root privileges. Additionally, you will need a working installation of Docker and Docker Compose on your system.
Begin by opening a terminal window and navigating to the desired directory where you want to install GoToSocial. Then, use the following command to clone the GoToSocial repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial.git
This will create a new directory named "gotosocial" with the GoToSocial source code in it.
Next, you need to install Docker Compose on your system. You can use the following command to install Docker Compose on Alpine Linux Latest:
apk add docker-compose
This command will download and install Docker Compose on your system.
Navigate to the "gotosocial" directory that was created when you cloned the repository. Then, use the following command to build the GoToSocial Docker container:
sudo docker-compose build
After the container is built successfully, you can start the GoToSocial application by using the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will start the GoToSocial container in the background and allow you to access the application via a web browser.
You can now access the GoToSocial application by visiting the IP address of your Alpine Linux Latest system on port 80 (default HTTP port). If you are running Alpine Linux Latest on your local machine, you can simply visit http://localhost in a web browser to access GoToSocial.
Congratulations! You have now installed GoToSocial on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use this platform to collaborate on writing and publishing articles with others.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
