Antville is a free, open-source, and user-friendly weblog hosting software written in Java. It allows you to create a weblog community, manage multiple weblogs and users, and enhance your weblogs with various plugins and customizations.
If you are using the latest version of Fedora CoreOS and want to install Antville on it, then you can follow the steps outlined below.
Before you can install Antville, you need to have Java installed on your system. To install Java, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk-devel
This command will install the latest version of OpenJDK, which is compatible with Antville.
Next, you need to download the Antville software from the official website. You can download the latest stable release from the following URL:
https://antville.org/download/release/
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice.
After downloading Antville, you need to configure it before you can run it. To do this, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you extracted the Antville files.
Next, create a file named antville.properties in the same directory and add the following lines to it:
nc.host.name=localhost
nc.host.port=8080
These lines will configure the hostname and port number for Antville. You can customize these settings according to your needs.
Finally, you can start Antville by running the following command in the terminal window:
java -jar antville.jar
This command will start the Antville server and you should see some output in the terminal window. Once the server is started, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/
This will take you to the Antville homepage, where you can create your first weblog and start using the software.
By following these simple steps, you can easily install and configure Antville on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. With Antville, you can create a powerful and customizable weblog platform that meets your specific needs.
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!
