Blog is a simple, lightweight blogging platform that allows users to easily create and manage their own blogs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Blog on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements:
First, you need to clone the Blog repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/blog.git
This will clone the Blog repository to your local system.
Next, you need to install the dependencies required by Blog. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
doas pkg_add go git
This will install the Go programming language and Git on your OpenBSD system.
Now, you need to build the Blog binary file. Navigate to the Blog directory using the following command:
cd blog
Next, build the binary file using the following command:
go build -o blog
This will build the Blog binary file.
Next, you need to create a configuration file for Blog. Copy the sample configuration file using the following command:
cp config.toml.dist config.toml
Finally, you can run Blog using the following command:
./blog
This will start the Blog server on your OpenBSD system. You can access it by opening a web browser and entering the URL http://localhost:8080/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Blog on your OpenBSD system. You can now customize it according to your preferences and start blogging.
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!
