dyu comments is an open-source commenting system for blogs and other websites. It allows users to leave comments on articles, and it provides a range of features such as moderation tools, spam protection, and real-time updates. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing dyu comments on Ubuntu Server.
Before you begin installing dyu comments, you will need to:
First, you need to install Git, which is a version control system that is used to manage the source code of dyu comments. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to install Git:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
dyu comments is built using Node.js, so you need to make sure that Node.js is installed on your server. Enter the following command to install Node.js:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Npm is the package manager for Node.js, so you need to install it on your server. Enter the following command to install Npm:
sudo apt-get install npm
Now that you have installed Git, Node.js, and Npm, you can clone dyu comments from the GitHub repository. Enter the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/dyu/comments.git
This will create a new directory named "comments" in your current directory.
After you have cloned the repository, you need to install the dependencies that dyu comments requires. Enter the following command to do this:
cd comments
npm install
This will install all the necessary packages and modules that dyu comments requires.
We will assume that you are using Nginx as your web server. If you are using a different web server, you can adapt the following instructions to your specific configuration.
Create a new Nginx server block configuration file by entering the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/comments.example.com
Replace "comments.example.com" with your own domain name.
Within this file, add the following lines:
server {
listen 80;
server_name comments.example.com;
root /path/to/comments/public;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
location /api {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Replace "/path/to/comments/public" with the path to the "public" directory within the "comments" directory that you cloned earlier.
Save and close the file.
Next, create a symbolic link to enable the Nginx server block that you just created:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/comments.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, start dyu comments by entering the following command:
npm start
This will start the dyu comments server on port 3000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install dyu comments on Ubuntu Server Latest. You should now be able to access your commenting system by going to http://comments.example.com in your web browser.
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!
