How to Install Schnack on Fedora Server Latest

Schnack is a lightweight comment system that lets you add comments to static websites without the need for a database. Installing Schnack on a Fedora Server is a straightforward process, and with the help of this tutorial, you will learn how to do it in a few easy-to-follow steps.

Prerequisites

Before installing Schnack on your Fedora Server, there are a few things you need to have in place:

Step 1 - Install Node.js

Schnack requires Node.js to work, so the first thing you need to do is install it on your Fedora Server. You can install Node.js using the following command:

sudo dnf install nodejs

Once Node.js is installed, you can verify its installation by running the following command:

node --version

If the installation was successful, the command should return the version of Node.js installed on your server.

Step 2 - Install Git

The next thing you need to install is Git, which Schnack uses to download its source code from GitHub. You can install Git using the following command:

sudo dnf install git

Once Git is installed, you can verify its installation by running the following command:

git version

If the installation was successful, the command should return the version of Git installed on your server.

Step 3 - Clone Schnack from GitHub

Now that Node.js and Git are installed, you can download the Schnack source code from GitHub. Use the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/schn4ck/schnack.git

This command will create a new directory called schnack in the current directory, and download the source code into it.

Step 4 - Configure Schnack

Once the Schnack source code is downloaded, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. Run the following commands to create a new directory for the configuration file and generate a sample configuration:

cd schnack
mkdir config
cp config/default.json config/production.json

Step 5 - Configure Schnack Settings

Now that you have created a configuration file, you need to edit it to add your settings. Run the following command to open the configuration file in a text editor:

nano config/production.json

You can customize your Schnack settings according to your requirements. Here are a few settings you might want to configure:

Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.

Step 6 - Start the Schnack Server

Now that you have configured Schnack, you can start the Schnack server using the following command:

npm start

This will start the Schnack server and make it available on the port you specified in the configuration file.

Step 7 - Integrate Schnack with Your Website

Now that the Schnack server is running, you can integrate it with your website. To do this, you need to add a Schnack script to your website's HTML code.

Add the following script to your website's HTML code, replacing schnack.example.com with the URL of your Schnack installation:

<!-- Schnack -->
<script async src="https://schnack.example.com/embed.js"
    data-schnack-slug="your-article-slug"
    data-schnack-target=".comments"
    data-schnack-dark="false"
    data-schnack-theme="light"
    data-schnack-channel="dev"
></script>
<div class="comments"></div>

This script will add a comment form to your website, where users can enter their comments.

Conclusion

Installing Schnack on a Fedora Server is a straightforward process, and by following the steps in this tutorial, you can set up your own comment system in just a few minutes. Once installed, Schnack is easy to use and does not require a database, making it an excellent choice for small websites that don't have a lot of traffic.
