Feedpushr is an open-source self-hosted tool that allows you to aggregate your RSS feeds in a single place. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Feedpushr on MXLinux Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required packages on your MXLinux system.
Open the terminal and execute the following command to update the package lists:
sudo apt update
Next, install the following packages by running the command:
sudo apt install git curl mariadb-server mariadb-client apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.3 php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-mysql php7.3-xml php7.3-curl php7.3-intl php7.3-mbstring php7.3-zip
This will install all the necessary packages that are required to run Feedpushr on MXLinux.
The next step is to clone the Feedpushr repository from the Github into your MXLinux system. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr.git /var/www/html/feedpushr
Once the repository is cloned, change the ownership of the cloned directory using the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/feedpushr
Now, we need to create a database for FeedPushr. To do that, log in to your MySQL or MariaDB server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
Once you are logged in, execute the following SQL statement to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE feedpushr;
Next, create a new user, set a password, and grant all privileges on the feedpushr database to the user:
GRANT ALL ON feedpushr.* TO 'feedpushr_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
Don’t forget to change the yourpassword with a strong password.
Finally, flush the privileges and exit the MySQL prompt:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Before we can start using Feedpushr, we need to configure it with our database credentials. To do that, rename the config.dist.yml file located in the /var/www/html/feedpushr/config directory to config.yml:
sudo cp /var/www/html/feedpushr/config/config.dist.yml /var/www/html/feedpushr/config/config.yml
Then, open the config.yml file with your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/feedpushr/config/config.yml
And update the following sections with the credentials for the database that you have created earlier.
database:
driver: pdo_mysql
host: localhost
port: ~
name: feedpushr
user: feedpushr_user
password: yourpassword
charset: utf8mb4
Save and close the file.
The final step is to configure Apache to serve Feedpushr.
Create a new virtual host file for Feedpushr with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/feedpushr.conf
And paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/feedpushr
ServerName feedpushr.example.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/feedpushr_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/feedpushr_access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/feedpushr>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace the ServerAdmin and ServerName values with your own.
Finally, enable the virtual host with the following command:
sudo a2ensite feedpushr.conf
And restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
That’s it! You have successfully installed and configured Feedpushr on your MXLinux system.
Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://feedpushr.example.com. You should be able to see the Feedpushr login page.
Use the default username admin and password admin to log in. You can change these credentials later after logging in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Feedpushr on MXLinux.
