In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing remark42, an open-source and self-hosted comment system, on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
First, ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, remark42 requires that you have the following dependencies installed on your system:
You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git go
Clone the remark42 repository using git by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/umputun/remark.git
This will clone the repository to your current working directory.
Change to the remark directory using the following command:
cd remark
Then, build and install remark42 by running the following commands:
go build -tags sqlite3
sudo ./remark help
Now, you will be able to see the Remark42 help menu displayed on the console.
By default, remark42 configuration is stored in remark.yml. You can find a sample configuration in the .example directory.
cd .example
cp remark.example.yml remark.yml
Copy the remark.example.yml file to remark.yml and edit it to your liking.
Finally, start remark42 by running the following command:
sudo ./remark run
This will start the remark42 server and you will be able to access it by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed remark42 on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start using it for your website to provide a commenting 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!
