How to Install Newsdash on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Newsdash on Fedora Server Latest. Newsdash is a simple and powerful news aggregator that lets you read news from different sources in one place. Newsdash requires a web server and a database to run.

Step 1: Update your System

Before we begin, it's always recommended to update your system packages. Run the following command to update your system:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, we need to install some packages needed by Newsdash. Run the following command to install them:

sudo dnf install git python3 python3-pip python3-devel gcc postgresql-server postgresql-devel

Step 3: Install and Configure PostgreSQL

Newsdash uses PostgreSQL as its database. After installing PostgreSQL, run the following command to initialize the database:

sudo postgresql-setup --initdb

Next, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

By default, PostgreSQL will listen on localhost:5432 and the user postgres with no password will be created. To create a new user and a database for Newsdash, we will use the psql command:

sudo su - postgres
psql

Now, you can create a new user and database by running the following commands:

CREATE USER newsdash WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE newsdash;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE newsdash to newsdash;

Make sure to replace password with a strong password.

Step 4: Clone Newsdash from GitHub

Now, we can clone Newsdash from its GitHub repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/buzz/newsdash.git

This will clone the source code for Newsdash to a directory named newsdash.

Step 5: Install Python Dependencies

Change into the newsdash directory and run the following command to install the Python dependencies using pip:

cd newsdash
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 6: Configure Newsdash

Next, we need to configure Newsdash by copying the example configuration file:

cp config/config.ini.example config/config.ini

Then, open the config.ini file and adjust the database settings according to your configuration:

[db]
database = newsdash
user = newsdash
password = password
host = localhost
port = 5432

Replace password with the password you set for the newsdash user.

Step 7: Create the Database Schema

After configuring Newsdash, we need to create the required database schema. Run the following command to create the schema:

python3 manage.py migrate

Step 8: Run the Application

Finally, we can run the Newsdash application using the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver

This will start the web server and you can access Newsdash by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Newsdash on your Fedora Server Latest. Now you can start using it to read news from different sources in one place.
