Publify is a free and open-source Ruby on Rails-based publishing platform that allows you to create and manage a blogging website. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you on how to install Publify on Fedora CoreOS latest.
The first thing to do is to install Git and Ruby, which are the prerequisite packages for installing Publify.
To install the packages, use the following command:
$ sudo dnf install git ruby
Bundler is a dependency manager tool for Ruby that manages an application's gems. To ensure that you have the latest version of Bundler installed, use the following command:
$ sudo gem install bundler
Clone the Publify GitHub repository using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/publify/publify.git
Move into the cloned repository directory:
$ cd publify
Use the following command to install all the required gems and dependencies:
$ bundle install
This might take some time depending on your internet connection.
Once the installation is complete, run the following command:
$ bundle exec rake setup
This command will initiate the setup process and prompt you to input some configuration details. Fill out values according to the prompts.
You can also choose to preconfigure Publify before running the above command, by copying the respective files from /config/deploy directory to /config and modifying them.
Once installation and configuration are complete, start the Publify server by running the following command:
$ bundle exec rails server
The server will be running at http://localhost:3000/.
To access Publify from a web browser, enter your server's IP address or hostname, followed by the port number 3000.
Example:
http://<server-ip>:3000
If you followed this tutorial from your local machine, enter localhost:3000 in your web browser.
And that's it! You have successfully installed Publify on Fedora CoreOS latest. You can now start enjoying its capabilities as a blogging platform.
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!
