Installing Linkding on Fedora Server Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Linkding on your Fedora Server Latest. Linkding is an open-source bookmarking application that lets you save and organize links, and access them from anywhere.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing Linkding, you need to install the following dependencies:

• PostgreSQL
• Python 3
• pip

You can install these dependencies using the following command:

sudo dnf install postgresql postgresql-server python3 python3-pip

Step 2: Create a PostgreSQL Database and User

You need to create a PostgreSQL database and user to store the data for Linkding. You can create a new database and user using the following commands:

sudo postgresql-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql

sudo -u postgres psql

CREATE DATABASE linkding;
CREATE USER linkdinguser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE linkding TO linkdinguser;

Replace password with a secure password for the user linkdinguser.

Step 3: Clone the Linkding Repository

Next, you need to clone the Linkding repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding.git

This will create a new directory called linkding containing the source code.

Step 4: Install Required Python Packages

Go to the linkding directory and install the required Python packages using pip:

cd linkding
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Configure Linkding

Copy the example configuration file to config.py:

cp linkding/config.example.py linkding/config.py

Then edit the config.py file to set the parameters for your Linkding installation. You will need to set the following parameters:

• DATABASE_URI: the URI for the PostgreSQL database you created earlier (e.g. 'postgresql://linkdinguser:password@localhost/linkding')
• SECRET_KEY: a long random string used to secure the application
• SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE: set to False for testing purposes, and True when deploying to production
• ALLOWED_DOMAINS: a list of domains that are allowed to access Linkding (e.g. ['example.com', 'localhost'])

Step 6: Create the Database Tables

You need to create the database tables for Linkding. Run the following command:

python3 manage.py create_tables

Step 7: Start the Application

You can start the Linkding application using the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver

This will start the application at http://localhost:5000/.

Step 8: Access Linkding

You can access Linkding by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000/. You should see the Linkding login page.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Linkding on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start saving and organizing bookmarks with Linkding.
