In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install Feedpushr on OpenSUSE. Feedpushr is a service that integrates with the Open Source Cloud Foundry and allows you to push RSS feeds to multiple platforms.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update your system packages to the latest versions using the command:
sudo zypper update
Feedpushr has specific dependencies that you need to install before you can run it. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo zypper in git gcc make automake autoconf openssl-devel libcurl-devel postgresql-devel
Feedpushr is written in the Go programming language. You need to install it on your system. Run the following command to download the Go programming language from the official website:
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.15.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the Go archive to the /usr/local directory using the command:
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.15.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Next, set the environment variables $PATH and $GOROOT in your bashrc file:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following lines at the bottom of the file:
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Save and exit the file. Source the bashrc file to apply the changes:
source ~/.bashrc
Clone the Feedpushr repository from the Github repository using git:
git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr.git
Change to the cloned directory:
cd feedpushr
Build the app using the following command:
make build
Feedpushr requires a configuration file that you can tweak to customize how it runs.
Copy the example feedpushr.toml configuration file to a new file:
cp config/feedpushr.toml.dist config/feedpushr.toml
Edit the config/feedpushr.toml file to your specifications.
Once you have customized the configuration file to your liking, you can run the Feedpushr service using the command:
./bin/feedpushr serve
This will start the Feedpushr listener and you can now start pushing RSS feeds to your configured platforms.
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install Feedpushr on the OpenSUSE distribution. We first updated the system packages and installed dependencies. We then went ahead and downloaded and installed the Go language, cloned and built the Feedpushr source code, and finally configured and ran the service.
We hope this guide has been helpful in your efforts to install Feedpushr on OpenSUSE. Happy pushing!
