Tutorial: How to Install SiteInspector on Fedora Server Latest

SiteInspector is a website scanner that helps to identify vulnerabilities and track website changes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install SiteInspector on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisite:

Before installing SiteInspector, you need to ensure that you have:

• root access to the Fedora Server
• a stable internet connection
• an active subscription to SiteInspector

Step 1: Install the EPEL repository

The Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository is a Fedora project that provides additional packages for Fedora Server. SiteInspector needs some libraries which are not available in the standard Fedora repositories, so we have to install the EPEL repository first.

To install the EPEL repository, run this command:

sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Step 2: Install the dependencies

SiteInspector requires several dependencies to run correctly. Here's how to install them:

sudo dnf install -y postgresql postgresql-devel python3-devel gcc

Step 3: Create a virtual environment

Next, we will create a Python virtual environment to isolate the SiteInspector dependencies from the rest of the system.

sudo dnf install python3-pip
python3 -m venv ~/siteinspector_env
source ~/siteinspector_env/bin/activate

Step 4: Download and install SiteInspector

Now that we have a virtual environment, we can install SiteInspector by running:

pip3 install SiteInspector

Step 5: Configure SiteInspector

Finally, we need to configure SiteInspector. First, create a PostgreSQL database and user:

sudo -u postgres psql

CREATE USER siteinspector WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE siteinspector_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE siteinspector_db TO siteinspector;

Then, edit the SiteInspector configuration file:

nano ~/.siteinspector/siteinspector.yaml

database_uri: postgresql://siteinspector:password@localhost/siteinspector_db
oauth_client_id: REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID
oauth_client_secret: REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Replace REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID and REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET with the values provided by SiteInspector.

Save the file and exit.

Step 6: Run SiteInspector

Now everything has been set up successfully. You can start a scan by running:

source ~/siteinspector_env/bin/activate
siteinspector scan <website_url>

And that's it! You have successfully installed SiteInspector on Fedora Server Latest. You can explore more of its features and configure it as per your requirement.

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!
