How to Install Ghostfolio on Ubuntu Server Latest

Introduction

Ghostfolio is a portfolio tracking software that allows users to monitor and analyze their investment portfolio. It provides users with real-time market data, portfolio analysis tools, and customizable alerts. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Ghostfolio on a Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Install MongoDB

Ghostfolio uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB, run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mongodb

Once installed, you can enable and start the MongoDB service using the commands:

sudo systemctl enable mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongodb

Step 2: Install Ghostfolio

To install Ghostfolio, run the following commands:

sudo npm install -g ghostfolio

Step 3: Configure Ghostfolio

By default, Ghostfolio stores its data in the ~/.ghostfol.io directory. To configure Ghostfolio, create a config.yaml file in the ~/.ghostfol.io directory:

mkdir ~/.ghostfol.io
nano ~/.ghostfol.io/config.yaml

Add the following lines to config.yaml:

database:
  mongodb:
    uri: "mongodb://127.0.0.1/ghostfolio"

Step 4: Start Ghostfolio

To start Ghostfolio, run the following command:

ghostfolio

This will start the Ghostfolio server on port 8080. You can access it by opening a web browser and typing in the URL http://<server-ip>:8080. If you want to start Ghostfolio on a different port, add the --port option followed by the port number:

ghostfolio --port 3000

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we went through the steps of installing Ghostfolio on a Ubuntu server. We installed MongoDB, installed Ghostfolio using npm, configured Ghostfolio by creating a config.yaml file, and started the Ghostfolio server. Ghostfolio is now ready to use, and you can start adding your investment portfolio to it!

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!
