Moonmoon is a simple blog aggregator designed to run on a web server. It is perfect for people who want to keep up with multiple blogs or who manage their own blog network. If you are a NetBSD user, you can easily install Moonmoon on your server. Here's how:
First, you need to install the necessary dependencies.
pkg_add -v ruby ruby-gems
You can download Moonmoon from the official website or clone the repository from GitHub.
If you download the Moonmoon tarball, extract it to a directory of your choice. If you clone the repository, make sure you are in the correct directory before proceeding.
tar -xzvf moonmoon.tgz
cd moonmoon-master/
To run Moonmoon, you need to install the required Ruby gems. These are listed in the Gemfile.
gem install bundler
bundle install
Before you can start using Moonmoon, you need to configure it. Start by copying the config.yaml.sample file to config.yaml.
cp config.yaml.sample config.yaml
Edit the config.yaml file to reflect your preferences. You can change the aggregator name, the number of articles to display, and the blogs to aggregate.
Finally, start Moonmoon by running the following command:
ruby moonmoon.rb
You can access the Moonmoon web interface by pointing your browser to http://your.server.ip.address:4567/.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Moonmoon on NetBSD!
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!
