Pinry is a tool for collecting and sharing images you find on the web. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Pinry on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
To install Pinry, we need to first install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apk add python3 python3-dev py3-pip build-base libxslt-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev jpeg-dev zlib-dev
This command will install Python3, pip, build tools, and various libraries required by Pinry.
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can install Pinry. Run the following commands in order:
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/pinry/pinry.git
sudo chown -R {your_user}:{your_group} pinry
cd pinry
virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 env3
source env3/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/prod.txt
These commands will clone the Pinry repository from Github, create a virtual environment, and install Pinry's requirements.
After installing Pinry, we need to configure it. Copy the sample configuration file and edit the variables as needed:
cp pinry/settings/local.py.sample pinry/settings/local.py
nano pinry/settings/local.py
Modify the variables according to your preferences. For example, you may want to specify the location for uploaded images or change the SECRET_KEY.
We need to create a database for Pinry. Run the following commands to create a PostgreSQL database:
sudo apk add postgresql postgresql-client
sudo su - postgres
createdb pinry
createuser -P pinry
psql pinry
ALTER USER pinry CREATEDB;
\q
exit
These commands will create a database named pinry, a user named pinry, and will grant the user permissions to create databases.
Now that we have a database, we need to migrate it to the latest version. Run the following command:
python manage.py migrate
This command will apply any database migrations that need to be made to your database.
To run Pinry, we need to start the development server. Run the following command:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This command will start the development server and listen for connections on all network interfaces on TCP port 8000. You can connect to Pinry by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
You should now see the Pinry homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pinry on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use Pinry to collect and share images that you find on the web.
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!
