Leed is a lightweight RSS reader that allows you to follow your favorite news sources and blogs in one place. It is an open-source project available on GitHub. Here's how you can install Leed on Clear Linux Latest.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Before installing Leed, we need to install some dependencies on Clear Linux. Execute the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-sqlite
As mentioned earlier, we'll be using the Apache server to serve the Leed application. Follow these steps to install and configure Apache on Clear Linux:
Install the Apache server using the command:
sudo swupd package-install httpd
Start the Apache server using the command:
sudo systemctl start httpd
Check the status of the Apache server using the command:
sudo systemctl status httpd
You should see an output similar to:
● httpd.service - Apache Web Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-10-04 15:57:39 PDT; 11s ago
Main PID: 2374 (httpd)
Tasks: 6 (limit: 46845)
Memory: 2.1M
CPU: 32ms
CGroup: /system.slice/httpd.service
├─2374 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
├─2375 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
├─2376 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
├─2377 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
├─2378 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
└─2379 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
Configure Apache to start on system boot:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Now that we have Apache installed and configured let’s move on to the installation of Leed.
Clone the Leed repository using the command:
git clone https://github.com/LeedRSS/Leed
Copy the Leed files to the Apache web server directory using the commands:
sudo cp -r Leed/* /srv/http/
sudo chown -R nobody:nobody /srv/http
We need to create a configuration file for Leed. Execute the following command:
sudo cp /srv/http/config.default.php /srv/http/config.php
Edit the configuration file using the command:
sudo nano /srv/http/config.php
Update the following section with your desired settings:
// Database info
define('MYSQL_USERNAME', '');
define('MYSQL_PASSWORD', '');
define('MYSQL_HOST', '');
define('MYSQL_DATABASE', '');
// Default credentials
define('DEFAULT_USERNAME', 'admin');
define('DEFAULT_PASSWORD', 'admin');
Save and close the editor.
Create an empty SQLite database using the following command:
touch db.sqlite
chmod 666 db.sqlite
That's it! Now you should be able to access Leed by visiting http://localhost on your browser.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Leed on Clear Linux Latest with Apache server. Leed is now ready to use and you can start configuring it to follow your favorite news sources!
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!
