Remark42 is an open-source commenting system that can be integrated into your website or blog. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Remark42 on your macOS.
Before we start, you will need the following:
First, you need to clone the Remark42 repository from the GitHub page. To do that, open the terminal on your macOS computer and type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/umputun/remark42.git
This will create a local copy of the Remark42 repository on your computer.
Now, you need to configure Remark42 to suit your needs. Navigate to the remark42 directory by typing the following command:
cd remark42
Next, you need to edit the docker-compose.yml file to specify the details of your web server. Open the file by typing the following command:
nano docker-compose.yml
Change the volumes section to match the path to your website or blog files. For example:
volumes:
- /path/to/your/website:/remark/www
Once you have configured Remark42, you can start the application by running the following command:
docker-compose up
This will download and install all the necessary components for Remark42 and start the application.
To test if Remark42 is working correctly, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. You should see the Remark42 commenting system installed on your website.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Remark42 on macOS. With Remark42, you can add commenting functionality to your website or blog, allowing your readers to engage with your content and leave feedback.
