Local Food Nodes is an open source project that facilitates the creation of local food networks by providing a platform to connect farmers with customers in their respective areas. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Local Food Nodes on your Void Linux system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, we need to install some dependencies required for running Local Food Nodes:
sudo xbps-install -S postgresql postgresql-contrib python3-pip
We will now install Local Food Nodes by using pip3, a package manager for Python:
sudo pip3 install localfoodnodes
Before we start using Local Food Nodes, we need to initialize a PostgreSQL database. We will create a new database user and a database for Local Food Nodes:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER lfnuser WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
sudo -u postgres createdb -O lfnuser lfn_db
Now we need to configure Local Food Nodes to use the database created in the previous step. For this purpose, we will create a configuration file in /etc/localfoodnodes/config.yml. Copy and paste the following contents into the file:
database:
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 5432
database: lfn_db
username: lfnuser
password: password
Save the file.
Finally, we can start Local Food Nodes and begin using it:
sudo systemctl start localfoodnodes
To check if Local Food Nodes is running, you can use:
sudo systemctl status localfoodnodes
Local Food Nodes is now installed and ready to use on your Void Linux system! You can access the platform by opening a web browser and entering http://localhost:8000 in the address bar.
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!
