Fider is a free and open-source feedback platform that enables you to collect, manage, and prioritize feedback from your users, customers, and the community. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fider on MXLinux using the command-line interface.
Before you start installing Fider, make sure your system meets the following prerequisites:
First, you need to clone the Fider repository to your local system. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git
This command will create a new directory named fider and download all the necessary files from the Fider repository.
Next, you need to configure the Fider environment variables in the .env file. To do this, navigate to the fider directory and make a copy of the .env.sample file using the following command:
cd fider
cp .env.sample .env
Then, open the .env file in your preferred text editor and modify the following variables according to your requirements:
FIDER_HOSTNAME=yourdomain.com
FIDER_TIMEZONE=UTC
FIDER_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
FIDER_SMTP_PORT=587
FIDER_SMTP_USER=youremail@gmail.com
FIDER_SMTP_PASSWORD=yourpassword
Replace the FIDER_HOSTNAME variable with your domain name or IP address. Set the FIDER_TIMEZONE variable to your timezone. Modify the FIDER_SMTP_HOST, FIDER_SMTP_PORT, FIDER_SMTP_USER, and FIDER_SMTP_PASSWORD variables with your email provider's SMTP settings.
Save and close the file.
Next, you need to build and run Fider using Docker Compose. To do this, run the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will build the Fider Docker image and start the Fider container in the background.
Once the build is complete, you can access the Fider web interface by navigating to http://yourdomain.com. Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fider on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Fider to collect feedback from your users, customers, and community. If you have any questions or issues, please refer to the official Fider documentation at https://docs.fider.io/.
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!
