Homepage is a personal startpage for your web browser. It is a simple static page that includes links to your favourite websites, bookmarks, news feeds, and more. With Homepage, you can customize your web browsing experience and organize your online life.
This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Homepage by Benphelps on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
Before you can install Homepage, you need to install the following dependencies:
To install these dependencies, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo dnf install nodejs
sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install httpd
sudo dnf install certbot
After you have installed the dependencies, you can clone the Homepage repository using Git. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/benphelps/homepage.git
This will create a new directory called "homepage" in your current working directory.
To install Homepage, navigate to the "homepage" directory using the following command:
cd homepage
Once you are inside the "homepage" directory, install the required packages using NPM by running the following command:
npm install
After the installation completes, build Homepage by running:
npm run build
This will generate a "public" directory in the "homepage" directory. Copy the contents of this directory to the Apache web server's document root directory:
sudo cp -r public/* /var/www/html/
For security reasons, it is recommended that you configure Homepage to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. To do this, you can use Certbot to generate SSL certificates and configure Apache to use them.
Run the following command to generate SSL certificates:
sudo certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /var/www/html -d example.com
Note: replace "example.com" with your own domain name.
Once the certificates are generated, configure Apache to use HTTPS:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
Note: replace "example.com" with your own domain name.
Save the configuration file and restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now that Homepage is installed, you can configure it to your liking. Navigate to your homepage by visiting https://example.com/ (replace "example.com" with your own domain name). You should see a default homepage with links to some popular sites.
To update your homepage, edit the "config.js" file in the "homepage" directory:
nano config.js
The "config.js" file contains an array of objects that represent links to different websites. To add a new link, create a new object in the array with the following properties:
title: The title of the link.url: The url of the link.logo: The url of the logo image for the link (optional).After you have made your changes, save the "config.js" file and rebuild your homepage by running:
npm run build
Refresh your homepage to see your changes.
