Pinry is a self-hosted Pinterest alternative that allows users to organize and share content. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Pinry on macOS.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
The first step is to download the Pinry repository from GitHub. You can do this with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pinry/pinry.git
This will create a new directory called pinry in your current working directory.
Next, we need to configure Pinry by creating a .env file. Navigate to the pinry directory and create a new file called .env with the following contents:
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DEBUG=True
ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost,127.0.0.1
Replace your_secret_key_here with a long, random string of characters. This key is used to encrypt information in your app.
We are now ready to start Pinry. Navigate to the pinry directory and run the following command:
docker-compose up
This command will start the Pinry app and its associated services, including the database.
Once the app has been started, you can access it in your web browser at http://localhost:8000. You should see the Pinry login page. Click the "Register" button to create a new account and start using Pinry.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Pinry on macOS. With Pinry, you can organize and share content to your heart's desire. Happy pinning!
