After cloning Shiori, navigate to the Shiori directory and compile it using the following command:
cd shiori
go build
Once the compilation is done, you should see a binary file named shiori.
Before using Shiori, you'll need to create a configuration file. You can do this by copying the shiori.example.ini file to shiori.ini:
cp shiori.example.ini shiori.ini
Open the shiori.ini file using a text editor of your choice and configure the following settings:
port: The port number on which Shiori will listen.db_path: The path where Shiori will store the bookmarks.By default, Shiori will store bookmarks in an SQLite database located in the same directory as the shiori binary file.
You're now ready to start Shiori. Run the following command to start the server:
./shiori serve
Shiori should now be running on the specified port, and you can access it using your favorite web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Shiori on Alpine Linux. You can now use Shiori to store and manage your bookmarks safely and securely.
