Leed is an open-source RSS aggregator that allows you to subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds. In this tutorial, we will look at the steps to install Leed on OpenBSD.
Before installing Leed, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
To get started with the installation of Leed, you need to install the following software packages:
$ sudo pkg_add php php-curl php-pdo php-sqlite3 sqlite
Next, you need to download the Leed source code from the official GitHub repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/LeedRSS/Leed.git /var/www/leed
After downloading the Leed source code, you need to set the appropriate file permissions on the /var/www/leed directory:
$ sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/leed
$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/leed
Next, you need to create a Leed database. To do this, you can use the following command:
$ sudo sqlite3 /var/www/leed/data/data.sqlite < /var/www/leed/data/install/database/leed.sql
After creating the database, go to the /var/www/leed/config directory and create a copy of the config.default.php file:
$ cd /var/www/leed/config
$ cp config.default.php config.php
Then, open the config.php file and make the following changes:
define('BASEPATH', '');
define('FULL_URL', 'http://localhost/leed');
define('BYPASS_LOGIN', 1); // set to 0 to enable login
define('ERROR_LOG', ''); // path to error_log file
define('DEBUG_MODE', false); // set to true to enable debug mode
define('DB_TYPE', 'sqlite');
define('DB_HOST', '');
define('DB_NAME', '/var/www/leed/data/data.sqlite');
define('DB_USER', '');
define('DB_PASS', '');
Finally, start your web server and browse to http://localhost/leed to start using Leed.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Leed on OpenBSD. With Leed, you can now easily subscribe to your favorite RSS and Atom feeds.
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!
