Turtl is a note-taking and bookmarking application that helps you organize your ideas and keep them secure. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Turtl on Ubuntu Server.
Before installing Turtl, make sure you have the following:
Login to your Ubuntu Server and update the system packages to their latest version. Use the following command to do so:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Turtl requires Node.js and MongoDB to run. Install Node.js and MongoDB by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm mongodb
Once you have installed Node.js and MongoDB, clone the Turtl repository to your server using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/turtl/js.git turtl
Navigate to the Turtl directory and install Turtl by running the following command:
cd turtl
npm install
To start Turtl, run the following command:
npm start
Turtl should now be accessible by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:8181.
By default, Turtl uses a local database to store your data. However, if you want to use a remote MongoDB instance, you can change the database configuration by editing the config.json file:
nano config.json
Change the database settings as per your requirements and save the file.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Turtl on your Ubuntu Server. You can now start using Turtl to organize your notes and bookmarks.
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!
