Installing Cowyo on EndeavourOS

Cowyo is a simple serverless wiki that you can use for personal notes or small team collaborations. It is easy to use and has a clean interface. Here is how you can install Cowyo on EndeavourOS:

Prerequisites

Installation

Open a terminal window and follow these steps:

  1. Install the dependencies that Cowyo requires:

  3. Build the Cowyo binary:

Running Cowyo

Now that Cowyo is installed, you can run it by typing the following command in your terminal window:

This will start the Cowyo server and provide you with a URL that you can use to access Cowyo in your web browser. By default, Cowyo listens on http://localhost:8050, but you can change this by using the -http flag:

cowyo -http=":8080"

Securing Cowyo

By default, Cowyo is not secured with HTTPS. If you plan on using Cowyo over the internet or on a network with untrusted users, you should enable HTTPS. You can use a reverse proxy like Nginx or Apache to enable HTTPS.
