How to Install Linkding on Linux Mint Latest

Linkding is a self-hosted bookmarking service that allows you to save and organize links online. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Linkding on Linux Mint Latest in a few simple steps.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1 - Install Required Packages

First, you need to update the package list of your Linux Mint system and install the necessary packages by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libpq-dev ruby ruby-dev nodejs postgresql git -y

Step 2 - Clone Linkding Repository

Next, you need to clone the Linkding repository from Github. Go to your terminal and run the following command:

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

Step 3 - Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate to the Linkding directory and install the required dependencies using the following command:

cd linkding
gem install bundler
bundle install --deployment --without development test

Step 4 - Configure PostgreSQL

Linkding uses PostgreSQL as a database management system. To configure and connect to the database, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the PostgreSQL service using a PostgreSQL account:
sudo -u postgres psql
  1. Set a password for the default PostgreSQL user:
\password postgres
  1. Create a new user and database for Linkding:
CREATE USER linkding WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE linkding_production OWNER linkding;
\q
  1. Update the config/database.yml file with the corresponding database settings:
production:
  database: linkding_production
  adapter: postgresql
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000
  username: linkding
  password: password

Step 5 - Migrate the Database

Now, it's time to create the database tables using the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate

Step 6 - Precompile Assets

To speed up the page rendering, you need to precompile the assets by running the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Step 7 - Start the Linkding Server

Finally, start the server using the following command:

SECRET_KEY_BASE=`bundle exec rake secret` RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server -d -b 0.0.0.0 -p 3000

You can access Linkding by visiting http://<your_server_IP>:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Linkding on your Linux Mint system.
