We will be installing Screensy on Fedora Server Latest using the command line interface.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
As Screensy is a Python application, we need to install Python and other dependencies by running the following command:
sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-devel python3-cffi python3-wheel redis
The above command installs the latest version of Python 3, pip (Python package manager), CFFI (Foreign Function Interface for Python), and Redis (an in-memory data structure store).
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with Screensy's installation by following the below steps:
Run the following command to clone the Screensy repository.
git clone https://github.com/screensy/screensy.git
This will create a new directory named 'screensy' in the current directory.
Move to the 'screensy' directory and run the following command to install more dependencies required by Screensy.
cd screensy
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Copy the sample configuration file to create a new configuration file.
cp config.json.example config.json
Edit the config.json file to update the configuration values. This file contains various configuration options like Redis URL, database URL, file storage location, and other options.
Start the Screensy application by running the following command.
sudo python3 main.py
This starts the Screensy application on port 5000. You can access the Screensy application by visiting http://<SERVER_IP>:5000 in your web browser.
To start Screensy automatically when the system starts up, create a new systemd service file.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/screensy.service
Insert the following contents in the file.
[Unit]
Description=Screensy
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/screensy/directory
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/screensy/main.py
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Replace the WorkingDirectory and ExecStart values with the actual path to the Screensy directory on your system.
Save and close the file. Then, reload the systemd manager configuration.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Finally, start the Screensy service.
sudo systemctl start screensy
Screensy is now installed and running on your Fedora Server Latest instance. You can now start capturing and recording website screenshots in a hassle-free manner. Happy Screenshotting!
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!
