How to Install Teedy on Void Linux

Teedy is an open-source note-taking software that allows you to create, organize, and retrieve notes with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Teedy on Void Linux.

Prerequisites:

Step 1: Update Your System

To update your system, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Su

This command will update your system's package database and upgrade any installed packages.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

You need to install some dependencies before installing Teedy on your system.

Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo xbps-install -S nodejs yarn git

Step 3: Download and Install Teedy

Next, download the Teedy source code from the official GitHub repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sismics/teedy.git

Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the source code:

cd teedy

Build and install the Teedy package using the following command:

yarn install

Once the installation is complete, start the Teedy server using the following command:

yarn start

You should now be able to access Teedy by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.

Step 4: Create a Teedy Systemd Unit File

To start Teedy automatically when your system boots, create a systemd unit file using the following commands:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/teedy.service

Paste the following content in the file:

[Unit]
Description=Teedy Server
After=network.target

[Service]
User=<user>
ExecStart=/usr/bin/yarn start
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/teedy
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace <user> with the name of the user who will run the service and /path/to/teedy with the path to the Teedy installation.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Reload systemd daemon:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable the Teedy service to start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable teedy
