DYU Comments is a comment system for websites that you can easily integrate into your website. Here is a step-by-step tutorial to help you install DYU Comments on OpenSUSE latest.
For DYU comments to run on OpenSUSE, you need to have LAMP stack installed. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. OpenSUSE comes with Apache, MySQL and PHP pre-installed but if you don't have them installed, you can install them using the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2 mysql-community-server php7 php7-mysql
Once LAMP stack is installed, you need to configure MySQL. You can configure MySQL using the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
The command will prompt you with a series of questions. Answer the questions and set a root password for MySQL.
Now, you need to download DYU comments from the GitHub repository. You can download the files using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/dyu/comments.git /var/www/html/comments
This command will copy the DYU comments files to the "/var/www/html/comments" directory.
To run DYU Comments, you need to create a virtual host for it on Apache. You can create a virtual host by creating a new Apache configuration file in "/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/comments.conf" and adding the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/comments"
ServerName comments.example.com
</VirtualHost>
Next, you need to change the permissions of the DYU comments folder. You can do this using the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/html/comments
DYU Comments uses Composer for managing its dependencies. To install Composer, run the following command:
sudo zypper install composer
After installing Composer, go to the "/var/www/html/comments" directory and run the following command:
sudo composer install
This command will install all the dependencies required by DYU comments.
Next, you need to configure DYU comments by creating a configuration file in "/var/www/html/comments/app/config/parameters.yml" and adding the following lines:
parameters:
database_host: 127.0.0.1
database_port: null
database_name: comments
database_user: root
database_password: yourpassword
Replace "yourpassword" with the password you set for the MySQL root user.
Now, you need to create a database for DYU comments. You can do this using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE comments;"
After creating the database, you need to generate the database schema. Go to the "/var/www/html/comments" directory and run the following command:
sudo php bin/console doctrine:schema:create
This command will create the required tables in the database.
Finally, open your web browser and go to "http://comments.example.com". You should see the DYU comments page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DYU Comments 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
