Pinry is an open-source web application that allows you to save, organize, and share visual bookmarks called pins. It is a great tool for organizing inspiration, ideas, and projects. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install Pinry on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, you will need to make sure that you have the following:
To install Pinry, we need to install some packages first. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the system package list:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git python-pip postgresql
This will install git for cloning the Pinry source code, python-pip for installing Python packages, and postgresql for the Pinry database.
To use Pinry, we need to create a PostgreSQL database and user. To do so, we need to access the PostgreSQL prompt. You can access it by running the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
This will log you in as the PostgreSQL system user. Now, we can create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE pinry;
CREATE USER pinryuser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE pinry TO pinryuser;
In these commands, we created a new database called pinry, a new user called pinryuser, and granted all privileges to the pinryuser on the pinry database. You can replace password with a strong password of your choice.
Exit the PostgreSQL prompt by running \q.
Now, we can clone the Pinry source code from the GitHub repository. Run the following command to clone the Pinry repository into the /opt/pinry directory:
sudo git clone https://github.com/pinry/pinry.git /opt/pinry
To configure Pinry, we need to make a copy of the example settings file and modify it for our needs. Run the following command to copy the example settings file:
sudo cp /opt/pinry/pinry/settings/local.example.py /opt/pinry/pinry/settings/local.py
Next, open the local.py file in a text editor:
sudo nano /opt/pinry/pinry/settings/local.py
Find the DATABASES section and modify it as follows:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'pinry',
'USER': 'pinryuser',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
Make sure to replace password with the password you set for the pinryuser in the previous step.
Now, we need to install the Python dependencies for Pinry. Run the following command:
sudo pip install -r /opt/pinry/requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary Python packages. It may take some time to complete.
Before we can use Pinry, we need to create the necessary database tables. Run the following command to apply the database migrations:
sudo python /opt/pinry/manage.py migrate
To access Pinry admin interface, we need to create a superuser account. Run the following command to create a superuser:
sudo python /opt/pinry/manage.py createsuperuser
Follow the prompts to set the superuser username and password.
Finally, we need to configure our web server to serve Pinry. The exact configuration will depend on the web server you are using. Here are some general guidelines:
If you are using Nginx, create a new server block by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/pinry.conf
Add the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/pinry.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/pinry.error.log;
location /static/ {
alias /opt/pinry/pinry/static/;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_connect_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
send_timeout 600;
}
}
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and exit the file.
Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
If you are using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/pinry.conf
Add the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /opt/pinry
Alias /static/ /opt/pinry/pinry/static/
<Directory /opt/pinry/pinry/static/>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/pinry/>
Require all granted
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess pinry python-path=/opt/pinry python-home=/opt/pinry/env
WSGIProcessGroup pinry
WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/pinry/pinry/wsgi.py process-group=pinry
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/pinry.access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/pinry.error.log
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and exit the file.
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You should now be able to access Pinry by visiting http://yourdomain.com in your web browser. You will be prompted to log in with the superuser account you created earlier.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pinry on EndeavourOS Latest.
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!
