Teedy is a self-hosted note-taking application with all the features you need to organize your notes, tasks, and todo-lists. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Teedy on Kali Linux.
Before we start, make sure your system has the following prerequisites:
Follow the below steps to install Teedy on Kali Linux:
Download the Teedy source code from the official website by running the following command:
$ wget https://github.com/sismics/docs-teedy/releases/latest/download/teedy.zip
Extract the downloaded file to the /opt/ directory using the following command:
$ sudo unzip -d /opt/ teedy.zip
The extracted files will be located in /opt/teedy/ directory.
Next, install Docker and Docker Compose on your system. Run the following commands to install both:
$ sudo apt-get install docker
$ sudo apt-get install docker-compose
Teedy uses a configuration file to set up the basic settings for your instance. Create the configuration file /opt/teedy/config/application.properties and specify the following parameters:
# This is the URL under which Teedy will be available.
app.baseUrl=http://localhost:8080
# This is the path to the data directory.
app.dataPath=/opt/teedy/data
# This is the path to the logs directory.
app.logPath=/opt/teedy/logs
# This is the path to the thumbnails directory.
app.thumbPath=/opt/teedy/thumbnails
# This enables the Amazon S3 storage backend.
cloud.aws.bucketName=your-bucket-name
cloud.aws.accessKey=your-access-key
cloud.aws.secretKey=your-secret-key
# This enables the Google Drive storage backend.
cloud.google.clientId=your-client-id
cloud.google.clientSecret=your-client-secret
cloud.google.redirectUri=your-redirect-uri
# This enables the Microsoft OneDrive storage backend.
cloud.onedrive.clientId=your-client-id
cloud.onedrive.clientSecret=your-client-secret
cloud.onedrive.redirectUri=your-redirect-uri
# This enables the Nextcloud storage backend.
cloud.nextcloud.baseUrl=your-nextcloud-base-url
cloud.nextcloud.username=your-nextcloud-username
cloud.nextcloud.password=your-nextcloud-password
Update the parameters for your environment.
Use the docker-compose command to start the Teedy container with the following command:
$ cd /opt/teedy/
$ sudo docker-compose up -d
The up command starts the container in the background, and the -d flag specifies that the output should only show container names.
If there are no errors, you can access Teedy at http://localhost:8080. The default username and password are both admin. Once you log in, you can start adding notes, tasks, and to-do lists.
To stop the container when you are finished, use the docker-compose down command:
$ cd /opt/teedy/
$ sudo docker-compose down
And that's it! You have successfully installed and started Teedy on your Kali Linux system.
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!
