In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install RSS Fulltext Proxy on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin the installation process, ensure that your system has the prerequisites installed. Execute the following command in the terminal to install prerequisites:
sudo pkg install git go
This command will install Git and Go on your FreeBSD system.
Now, let's clone the RSS Fulltext Proxy Github repository. Run the following command to clone the repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/Kombustor/rss-fulltext-proxy.git
The above command will create a directory named "rss-fulltext-proxy" in your current working directory. Navigate to the "rss-fulltext-proxy" directory using the following command:
cd rss-fulltext-proxy
Next, we will build the binary using Go. Run the following command to build the binary:
go build
This command will create a binary file named "rss-fulltext-proxy" in the current directory.
After successfully building the binary, we need to configure the application. The configuration file is named "config.json.example". To use it, make a copy of it by executing the following command:
cp config.json.example config.json
Now that you have the configuration file, open it with your preferred editor and change the required settings as per your needs.
To test if the application is working properly, run the following command:
./rss-fulltext-proxy
This command will start the server and display the message "Listening on localhost:8000".
Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. If everything is working correctly, you should see a "404 Not Found" error message.
To run RSS Fulltext Proxy as a service, we need to create a systemd unit file. Run the following command to do so:
sudo nano /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/rss-fulltext-proxy.service
This will open up the nano text editor. Paste the following configuration lines:
[Unit]
Description=RSS Fulltext Proxy Service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/path/to/rss-fulltext-proxy
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/rss-fulltext-proxy
User=root
Group=root
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Ensure that you replace "/path/to" with the actual path to your "rss-fulltext-proxy" directory.
Once done, save and exit the file by pressing CTRL+X, followed by Y, and then ENTER.
Now, start the RSS Fulltext Proxy service by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start rss-fulltext-proxy
The above command will start the service. Check the service status with the following command:
sudo systemctl status rss-fulltext-proxy
If everything is set up correctly, the service status should show as "active (running)".
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed RSS Fulltext Proxy on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use the service to proxy your RSS feeds and retrieve the full text.
