In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Fess on Void Linux. Fess is an open-source search engine platform that allows users to search through various databases with ease.
Before continuing with this tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Fess requires Java to be installed on your system in order to run. We'll install Java using Void Linux's package manager, xbps.
To install Java, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk
This command instructs xbps to install the openjdk package along with all its dependencies.
Download the latest version of Fess by visiting https://fess.codelibs.org/ and clicking on the "Download" button.
Alternatively, you can download Fess directly using the following command:
wget https://github.com/codelibs/fess/releases/download/13.4.2/fess-13.4.2.deb
Once the download is complete, navigate to the folder where the Fess package was downloaded:
cd ~/Downloads/
Then, install Fess using the xbps-install command:
sudo xbps-install -i -f fess-13.4.2-deb
This command installs the Fess package and all its dependencies on your system.
Now that Fess is installed, start the Fess service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start fess
This command starts the Fess service and allows you to access the Fess web interface.
To access the Fess web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.
If Fess is running correctly, you should see the Fess login page.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps required to install Fess on Void Linux. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now have Fess up and running on your system, ready to use.
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!
