In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Miniflux on EndeavourOS Latest using a few easy steps.
Make sure that you have the following prerequisites before starting with the installation:
Before installing Miniflux, you need to install the dependencies required by the application. Open your terminal and run the following command to update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
Once the system update is complete, install the following dependencies using pacman:
sudo pacman -S git nginx php php-fpm sqlite
Next, you need to clone the Miniflux repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/miniflux/miniflux.git /var/www/miniflux
Next, you need to configure Nginx to serve the Miniflux application. Create a new Nginx server block file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/miniflux
Add the following configuration in the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
root /var/www/miniflux/public;
index index.php;
error_log /var/log/nginx/miniflux-error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/miniflux-access.log;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Make sure to replace "your_domain.com" with your actual domain name.
Next, create a symbolic link to enable the Nginx configuration:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/miniflux /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Lastly, test the Nginx configuration using the following command:
sudo nginx -t
If there are no syntax errors in the configuration, reload the Nginx service:
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Next, you need to configure PHP for the Miniflux application. Start by opening the PHP-FPM configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/php/php-fpm.conf
Find the following line and uncomment it:
;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
Change it to:
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
Save and close the file.
Next, you need to configure the Miniflux application. Copy the sample configuration file and make any necessary changes:
sudo cp /var/www/miniflux/config.sample.ini /var/www/miniflux/config.ini
Next, open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/miniflux/config.ini
Change the following lines:
[database]
driver = "sqlite"
Save and close the file.
Next, you need to create the SQLite database for the Miniflux application. Run the following commands:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/miniflux
sudo chown -R http:http /var/lib/miniflux
sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/miniflux/data.db < /var/www/miniflux/db/miniflux_schema.sql
