How to Install Teedy on Kali Linux

Teedy Logo

Teedy is a self-hosted note-taking application with all the features you need to organize your notes, tasks, and todo-lists. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Teedy on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your system has the following prerequisites:

  • Kali Linux (latest version)
  • Docker (latest version)
  • Docker Compose (latest version)

Follow the below steps to install Teedy on Kali Linux:

Step 1 - Download the Teedy Source Code

Download the Teedy source code from the official website by running the following command:

$ wget https://github.com/sismics/docs-teedy/releases/latest/download/teedy.zip

Extract the downloaded file to the /opt/ directory using the following command:

$ sudo unzip -d /opt/ teedy.zip

The extracted files will be located in /opt/teedy/ directory.

Step 2 - Install Docker and Docker Compose

Next, install Docker and Docker Compose on your system. Run the following commands to install both:

$ sudo apt-get install docker
$ sudo apt-get install docker-compose

Step 3 - Create a Configuration File

Teedy uses a configuration file to set up the basic settings for your instance. Create the configuration file /opt/teedy/config/application.properties and specify the following parameters:

# This is the URL under which Teedy will be available.
app.baseUrl=http://localhost:8080

# This is the path to the data directory.
app.dataPath=/opt/teedy/data

# This is the path to the logs directory.
app.logPath=/opt/teedy/logs

# This is the path to the thumbnails directory.
app.thumbPath=/opt/teedy/thumbnails

# This enables the Amazon S3 storage backend.
cloud.aws.bucketName=your-bucket-name
cloud.aws.accessKey=your-access-key
cloud.aws.secretKey=your-secret-key

# This enables the Google Drive storage backend.
cloud.google.clientId=your-client-id
cloud.google.clientSecret=your-client-secret
cloud.google.redirectUri=your-redirect-uri

# This enables the Microsoft OneDrive storage backend.
cloud.onedrive.clientId=your-client-id
cloud.onedrive.clientSecret=your-client-secret
cloud.onedrive.redirectUri=your-redirect-uri

# This enables the Nextcloud storage backend.
cloud.nextcloud.baseUrl=your-nextcloud-base-url
cloud.nextcloud.username=your-nextcloud-username
cloud.nextcloud.password=your-nextcloud-password

Update the parameters for your environment.

Step 4 - Start the Container

Use the docker-compose command to start the Teedy container with the following command:

$ cd /opt/teedy/
$ sudo docker-compose up -d

The up command starts the container in the background, and the -d flag specifies that the output should only show container names.

Step 5 - Access Teedy

If there are no errors, you can access Teedy at http://localhost:8080. The default username and password are both admin. Once you log in, you can start adding notes, tasks, and to-do lists.

To stop the container when you are finished, use the docker-compose down command:

$ cd /opt/teedy/
$ sudo docker-compose down

And that's it! You have successfully installed and started Teedy on your Kali Linux system.
