In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing the Blog application on Kali Linux Latest from its Github repository.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that the following software is installed on your system:
First, we will clone the Blog repository to our local system using Git. Open up a terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/blog.git
This will create a copy of the repository in your working directory.
Navigate to the blog directory and install the application requirements using Pip. Enter the following command:
cd blog
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Blog application. Enter the PostgreSQL console using the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
Next, create a new database and user using the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE blogdb;
CREATE USER bloguser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE blogdb TO bloguser;
Finally, exit the PostgreSQL console by typing \q
Update the configuration file config.py with the correct values for the database details. Open the file using any text editor of your choice:
nano config.py
Update the following lines:
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "postgresql://bloguser:password@localhost/blogdb"
SECRET_KEY = "your_secret_key_here"
Save and exit the file.
Create the schema in the database by running the following command:
python manage.py db upgrade
Finally, run the application using Flask. Type the following command:
python manage.py runserver
You can now access the blog application on your web browser at http://localhost:5000/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Blog application on Kali Linux Latest.
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!
