How to Install Newspipe on OpenSUSE

Newspipe is a web-based news aggregator that uses RSS feeds to fetch and display news headlines and articles from various sources. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Newspipe on the latest version of OpenSUSE.

Prerequisites

Before installing Newspipe, you need to have the following:

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

To run Newspipe on your OpenSUSE system, you need to install some dependencies first. Open the terminal and run the following commands to install them:

sudo zypper install python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv nginx sqlite3 gettext-tools``` 

Press `y` when prompted to confirm the installation process.

## Step 2: Setup Virtual Environment

Create a new virtual environment by running the following command:

virtualenv ~/newspipe


This command will create a new virtual environment in the home directory with the name `newspipe`. Activate the environment using the command:

source ~/newspipe/bin/activate


## Step 3: Clone the Newspipe Repository

Next, clone the Newspipe repository from Git by running the command:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~cedric/newspipe


This command will clone the repository to the current working directory.

## Step 4: Install Newspipe Requirements

Navigate to the cloned Newspipe directory by running the command:

cd newspipe


Then, install Newspipe requirements by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements/production.txt


This command will install all the required Python packages for Newspipe.

## Step 5: Setup Database

Before running the Newspipe application, you need to create a new database. Run the following command to create a new database:

python manage.py migrate


This command will create a new SQLite database in the `db.sqlite3` file.

## Step 6: Install Translation Files

If you want to use Newspipe in languages other than English, you need to install the translation files. Run the following command to install them:

python manage.py compilemessages


## Step 7: Run Newspipe

Finally, start the Newspipe application by running the following command:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000


This command will run the application on port `8000`. You can access the Newspipe web interface by opening the browser and navigating to `http://your_server_ip:8000`.

## Step 8: Setup Nginx Reverse Proxy

To serve the Newspipe application on port `80`, you need to set up Nginx reverse proxy. Open the Nginx configuration file by running the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf


Add the following configuration to the file:

server { listen 80; server_name your_server_domain_or_ip;

location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}

}


Save and close the file by pressing `Ctrl+X`, `Y`, and `Enter`.

Restart Nginx by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx


Now, you can access the Newspipe web interface by opening your browser and navigating to `http://your_server_domain_or_ip`.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Newspipe on your OpenSUSE system.
