Wallabag is an open-source self-hosted application that helps you save articles, web pages, and other content to read later at your convenience. Here's how you can install Wallabag on your Fedora Server Latest.
Before you begin the installation, it's always recommended to update your system and repositories. Run the following command to update and upgrade the system:
sudo dnf update -y && sudo dnf upgrade -y
Wallabag is built on PHP, so you need to install some dependencies like Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and some PHP extensions. Here's the command to install all the dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-cli php-mysqlnd php-intl php-xmlrpc php-opcache php-pecl-apcu php-bcmath php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-mcrypt php php-common php-xml php-xmlreader php-xmlwriter php-tokenizer php-fpm php-pdo httpd-tools wget
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache webserver and MariaDB service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd mariadb
Enable the Apache and MariaDB service to start at system boot:
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
Now that all the dependencies are installed, we need to create a database and a user for Wallabag:
First, log in to MySQL:
sudo mysql
Create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE wallabagdb;
Create a new user and grant privileges to the Wallabag database:
CREATE USER 'wallabag'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wallabagdb.* TO 'wallabag'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Exit MySQL:
exit
Now you have installed all the dependencies and created a database and a user. We will download and install Wallabag using the following commands:
Download Wallabag:
sudo wget https://wllbg.org/latest -O wallabag.zip
Unzip the downloaded file:
sudo unzip wallabag.zip -d /var/www/html/
Move the contents to the root directory of the webserver:
sudo mv /var/www/html/wallabag-*/* /var/www/html/
Change the ownership of the Wallabag directory:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/
Restart the Apache server:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name. You will see the Wallabag installation wizard.
Select the language, and then click "Start installation."
Enter the database information you created in [Step 3] when prompted.
Set up the administrator account and click "Finish Installation."
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Wallabag on your Fedora Server Latest. Now you can save articles, web pages, or other content whenever you want to read. Enjoy reading!
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!
