In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Commento, a commenting system for websites, on EndeavourOS [https://endeavouros.com/].
Before we begin, please make sure you have the following:
The first step to installing Commento is to install the required dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S go git npm
This command will install go, git, and Node Package Manager (npm) on your system.
Next, we need to clone the Commento repository on our local machine. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://gitlab.com/commento/commento.git
This will download the Commento source code to your machine. Change your working directory to the newly created Commento directory:
cd commento
Now we need to build and install Commento. Run the following commands one by one:
make
sudo make install
This will build the Commento binary and install it on your system.
The next step is to configure Commento. To do this, you need to create a configuration file. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/commento.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
CommentoAddr = "localhost:8080"
PostgresqlURL = "postgresql://commento:password@localhost/commento?sslmode=disable"
Replace "password" with a secure password of your choice. Save and exit the configuration file.
The final step is to start Commento. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start commento
Commento should now be up and running on your system. You can access the Commento admin interface by navigating to http://localhost:8080/admin.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Commento on your EndeavourOS system. You can now integrate Commento with your website to enable user comments.
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!
