Pinry is an open-source, self-hosted Pinterest-like website that allows you to collect, organize and share your favorite images and ideas. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Pinry on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before starting with the installation of Pinry on OpenSUSE Latest, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, log in to your server with a non-root user with sudo privileges, and run the following command to update your system and install the necessary packages:
sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install -y git gcc-c++ python3-devel python3-pip redis
Once the installation completes, you can verify the installed version of Python3 by running the following command:
python3 --version
The output should be similar to:
Python 3.8.5
Next, you need to clone the Pinry repository to your server. To do that, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pinry/pinry.git
In this step, you will install the required Python dependencies for Pinry. To install them, navigate to the Pinry directory and run the following command:
cd pinry && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
By default, Pinry uses Redis as a backend for storing and retrieving data. Therefore, you need to configure Redis before starting Pinry. To configure Redis, open the Redis configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/redis.conf
Now, find the following line and uncomment it by removing the # symbol:
# bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
Next, find the following line and set its value to no:
protected-mode yes
Save and exit the file.
Now, start the Redis server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start redis
To ensure that Redis is running properly, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status redis
Before starting Pinry, you need to configure it. To do that, navigate to the Pinry directory, and open the Pinry configuration file using the following command:
nano pinry/pinry/local_settings.py
In the configuration file, set the values for the following parameters:
Save and exit the file.
Now that you have completed all the prerequisites, you can start Pinry by running the following command:
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The above command will start the Pinry server and bind it to all IP addresses on port 8000.
Open a web browser and visit the following URL:
http://your-server-ip-address:8000/
Replace your-server-ip-address with the actual IP address of your server.
If everything went well, you should see the Pinry login page.
You have successfully installed Pinry on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use it to collect, organize, and share your favorite images and ideas.
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!
