Fider is an open-source feedback platform that allows users to gather and prioritize feedback from their community. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Fider on Manjaro.
Before you begin, please make sure that you have the following:
The first thing you need to do is install the dependencies required to run Fider.
Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S gcc make
Next, you need to install Git, Node.js, and NPM by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we need to clone the Fider repository to our server.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install Fider and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git
This will clone the Fider repository to the specified directory.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the Fider directory by running the following command:
cd fider
Next, install Fider dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
Once the installation is completed, build the application by running the following command:
npm run build
To serve Fider through Nginx, we need to configure our server.
Create a new Nginx configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/fider.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name fider.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Make sure to replace fider.example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and finally ENTER.
Now, check Nginx for any syntax errors by running the following command:
sudo nginx -t
If there are no errors, restart Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
To start Fider, run the following command:
npm start
Fider is now running and accessible by visiting http://fider.example.com in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing Fider on Manjaro. You can now customize and use Fider to gather and prioritize feedback from your community.
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!
