Stringer is an open-source and self-hosted RSS reader built with Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step installation process of Stringer on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure of the following:
Start by updating your Fedora CoreOS Latest system:
sudo dnf update -y
Next, we need to install some dependencies for Stringer to work correctly:
sudo dnf install -y git sqlite-devel ruby ruby-devel rubygem-bundler
Now, let's download Stringer from the official repository:
git clone https://github.com/stringer-rss/stringer.git
After downloading Stringer, navigate to its directory and install all the necessary gems using the bundle command:
cd stringer/
sudo bundle install --deployment --without development test
Next, we need to configure Stringer by creating and editing the .env file:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Replace the following variables with your own values:
SECRET_TOKEN=
APP_URL=
SMTP_CARTIER=
SMTP_DELIVERY_METHOD=
SMTP_DOMAIN=
SMTP_PASSWORD=
SMTP_PORT=
SMTP_SENDER=
SMTP_USER=
Save and close the file.
Now, let's initialize Stringer by running the following command:
bundle exec rake db:migrate
Finally, we can start Stringer by running the following command:
bundle exec unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Stringer on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now access your new RSS reader by opening your web browser and navigating to your server's IP address or the domain name you specified in the .env file.
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!
