Leed is an open-source RSS feed reader that you can install on your local server. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Leed on your Elementary OS Latest system.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure to install these prerequisites on your system:
You can install the dependencies by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-mbstring git composer
Use the following command to clone the Leed repository to your system:
git clone https://github.com/LeedRSS/Leed.git /var/www/html/leed
Note: Change /var/www/html/leed to the path where you want to install Leed.
Create a new configuration file for Leed by running:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/leed.conf
And add the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/leed/public
<Directory /var/www/html/leed/public>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file.
Enable the new configuration file:
sudo a2ensite leed.conf
And restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Next, create a new database and user for Leed by running the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE leed;
CREATE USER 'leed'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON leed.* TO 'leed'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Make sure to replace 'password' with a secure password for the Leed user.
Navigate to the Leed directory:
cd /var/www/html/leed
And install the dependencies by running:
composer install
When prompted, enter the database information (host, database name, user, and password) created in the previous step.
Access the Leed installation page by navigating to http://your-domain.com/install in your web browser, replacing your-domain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Follow the instructions on the page to complete the installation process.
Once done, you can access Leed by visiting the URL http://your-domain.com in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Leed on your Elementary OS Latest system.
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!
