Journal is an open-source web-based platform that helps you organize and share your knowledge. It is built with simplicity and usability in mind, making it an ideal choice for individuals, teams, and organizations to keep track of their personal and professional achievements. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Journal on a Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding, you will need:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Journal to run on your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf install git python3 python3-pip
Next, you need to clone the Journal repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal.git
This will create a new directory named 'journal' in your current working directory.
Now, you need to install the required Python dependencies using the pip package manager. Navigate to the 'journal' directory and execute the following command:
cd journal/
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Journal relies on a PostgreSQL database to store data. Install PostgreSQL on your system if you haven't already. Once installed, create a new database using the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb journal
Journal uses a configuration file named config.ini to store the database connection settings and other application-specific configurations. Create a new file named config.ini in the 'journal' directory using the following command:
touch config.ini
Then, open the file using a text editor and add the following lines:
[postgresql]
host = localhost
database = journal
user = postgres
password =
[app]
secret_key = my_secret_key
Make sure to replace the host, database, user, password, and secret_key values with the appropriate settings for your environment.
Finally, you can run the Journal application by executing the following command from the 'journal' directory:
python3 app.py
This will start the web server on port 5000. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to access the Journal application.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Journal on a Fedora Server Latest. With Journal, you can easily organize and share your knowledge with others. You can customize your setup by adding new features and integrations to fit your unique 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
