Pinry is an open-source platform for saving, organizing, and sharing images with other users on the internet. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Pinry on Fedora Server Latest using a few simple steps.
Before installing Pinry, we need to make sure that our system has all the required dependencies. Open the terminal and type the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install gcc python-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel memcached libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel
Next, we need to create a new database for Pinry. To do that, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
Then start the Postgres service by typing:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Now you can create a new user and database for Pinry by typing:
sudo su - postgres
createdb pinrydb
createuser -P pinryuser
You will be prompted to enter a password for the new user. Make sure to remember this password as we will need it later.
Next, we need to install and configure Virtualenv. Virtualenv is a tool that allows you to create multiple isolated Python environments, which can help avoid version conflicts and dependency issues.
To install Virtualenv, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip install virtualenv
Once Virtualenv is installed, navigate to the desired directory where you want to install Pinry and create a new virtual environment by typing:
cd /opt/
sudo mkdir pinry
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER pinry
cd pinry
virtualenv pinry_env
Activate the virtual environment by typing:
. pinry_env/bin/activate
Now we are ready to install Pinry. Make sure you are still inside the virtual environment and type:
sudo dnf install redis
pip install pinry
Next, we need to configure Pinry. Navigate to the Pinry configuration file by typing:
cd /opt/pinry/pinry_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pinry/
Copy the example configuration file to a new file called local_settings.py:
cp local_settings.example.py local_settings.py
Open the local_settings.py file in a text editor and modify the settings as per your preference. Make sure to update the database settings with the ones we created earlier:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'pinrydb',
'USER': 'pinryuser',
'PASSWORD': 'your_password_here',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
...
DEBUG = False # Set to True only for development environments
...
SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key_here'
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Next, we need to migrate the database and collect static files. Navigate back to the Pinry installation directory by typing:
cd /opt/pinry/pinry_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pinry/
Migrate the database by typing:
python manage.py migrate
Collect static files by typing:
python manage.py collectstatic
Finally, we are ready to start Pinry. Make sure you are still inside the virtual environment and type:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Now you can access Pinry in a web browser by navigating to http://your_server_ip:8000/.
