Wreeto is a powerful note-taking and organization system that can help you manage your notes, tasks, and bookmarks in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wreeto on an Ubuntu Server Latest distribution.
Before we start, make sure you have the following requirements:
We recommend updating your Ubuntu Server Latest environment to ensure that all necessary packages are installed and up-to-date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Wreeto is built on Node.js and requires a Node.js runtime to run. To install Node.js on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
node -v
You should see the version number of Node.js installed on your system.
Wreeto uses a MongoDB database to store your notes, tasks, and bookmarks. You need to install MongoDB on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine to run Wreeto. To install MongoDB, follow these steps:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl status mongod
You should see "active (running)" in the output, indicating that MongoDB is running.
Now that you have installed Node.js and MongoDB on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, you can install Wreeto by following these steps:
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false wreeto
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/wreeto
sudo chown wreeto:wreeto /var/www/wreeto
sudo su - wreeto
git clone https://github.com/chriswarrick/wreeto.git /var/www/wreeto
cd /var/www/wreeto && npm install
cp .env.example .env && nano .env
Set up MongoDB database connection credentials:
DB_CONNECTION=mongodb
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=27017
DB_DATABASE=wreeto
DB_USERNAME=username
DB_PASSWORD=password
SESSION_SECRET=your-secret
Save and exit the file.
npm run build
npm run start
The server will be listening on port 3000 by default.
To access Wreeto on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, you need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. To do this, follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/wreeto.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
# SSL configuration
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name.
Save and exit the file.
Create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory by running the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/wreeto.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wreeto.conf
sudo systemctl restart nginx
That's it! You have successfully installed Wreeto on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine and configured Nginx to serve it to the internet. You can access Wreeto by navigating to your server's IP address or domain name in your web browser. Enjoy using Wreeto!
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!
