Moonmoon is a simple and customizable RSS aggregator that runs on PHP. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Moonmoon on Clear Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, update your Clear Linux package cache and install the required packages by running the following commands:
$ sudo swupd update
$ sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic devpkg-mysql
Next, navigate to the directory where you want to install Moonmoon, and download the latest version from the official website using wget command:
$ cd /var/www/html
$ wget https://moonmoon.org/moonmoon-latest.tar.gz
Use the tar command to extract the downloaded archive:
$ tar -xzvf moonmoon-latest.tar.gz
This will extract the Moonmoon files to a directory named moonmoon.
Create a new MySQL database and user for Moonmoon, and grant the user all privileges to the database. You can use the following commands:
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE moonmoon;
mysql> CREATE USER 'moonmoonuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON moonmoon.* TO 'moonmoonuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Replace ‘password’ with a strong password for your MySQL user.
Copy the config.dist.php file to config.php:
$ cd moonmoon
$ cp config.dist.php config.php
Edit the config.php file and adjust the configuration settings according to your environment. You need to set the MySQL database details, Site URL, Moonmoon Title, and some other settings.
$ nano config.php
Save the changes and exit.
Create the cache and log directories, and set the appropriate permissions:
$ mkdir cache log
$ chmod a+w cache log
Now that everything is set up, you can navigate to your server IP address or domain name, followed by the location of your Moonmoon installation directory: https://your-domain.com/moonmoon.
You should see the Moonmoon homepage, and you can start adding RSS feeds to your aggregator.
Moonmoon is now installed and ready to use on your Clear Linux Latest system. Enjoy organizing your RSS feeds and stay up-to-date with the latest content.
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!
