This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing CommaFeed on OpenSUSE Latest. CommaFeed is a self-hosted RSS/Atom feed reader written in Java.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites on your system:
You can install the JDK and Git using the following commands:
sudo zypper install java-1_8_0-openjdk-devel git
First, open a terminal window and clone the CommaFeed Git repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Athou/commafeed.git
This will create a commafeed directory in your current directory.
Next, navigate to the commafeed directory and build the CommaFeed package using the following command:
cd commafeed/
./gradlew clean build
This will build the CommaFeed package and create a .war file in the build/libs directory.
Now that you have built the CommaFeed package, you need to deploy it to a web server like Tomcat. For this tutorial, we will be using Tomcat 9.
First, install Tomcat 9 using the following command:
sudo zypper install tomcat
Once Tomcat is installed, navigate to the Tomcat webapps directory and copy the CommaFeed .war file using the following command:
sudo cp /path/to/commafeed/build/libs/commafeed-standalone.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/
Replace /path/to/commafeed with the actual path to the CommaFeed directory.
Next, restart Tomcat using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart tomcat
You can now access CommaFeed by visiting http://localhost:8080/commafeed-standalone/ in your web browser. This will take you to the CommaFeed login page.
To log in, use the default username and password:
adminadminYou can change the default username and password by editing the commafeed.properties file in the src/main/resources directory and rebuilding the CommaFeed package.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed CommaFeed on OpenSUSE Latest!
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!
