How to Install Wreeto on Ubuntu Server Latest

Wreeto is a powerful note-taking and organization system that can help you manage your notes, tasks, and bookmarks in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wreeto on an Ubuntu Server Latest distribution.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following requirements:

  • An Ubuntu Server Latest distribution installed and running.
  • A user account with sudo privileges.
  • Access to a terminal application.

Step 1: Update the System Packages

We recommend updating your Ubuntu Server Latest environment to ensure that all necessary packages are installed and up-to-date. To do this, run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Node.js

Wreeto is built on Node.js and requires a Node.js runtime to run. To install Node.js on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, follow these steps:

  1. Add the Node.js PPA to your system by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
  1. Install Node.js and npm by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
  1. Verify that Node.js is installed by running the following command:
node -v

You should see the version number of Node.js installed on your system.

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Wreeto uses a MongoDB database to store your notes, tasks, and bookmarks. You need to install MongoDB on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine to run Wreeto. To install MongoDB, follow these steps:

  1. Add the MongoDB repository to your system by running the following command:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
  1. Update your system packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
  1. Install MongoDB by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
  1. Start the MongoDB service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongod
  1. Verify that MongoDB is running by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status mongod

You should see "active (running)" in the output, indicating that MongoDB is running.

Step 4: Install Wreeto

Now that you have installed Node.js and MongoDB on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, you can install Wreeto by following these steps:

  1. Create a new user for Wreeto by running the following command:
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false wreeto
  1. Create a new directory for Wreeto by running the following command:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/wreeto
  1. Change ownership of the Wreeto directory to the wreeto user by running the following command:
sudo chown wreeto:wreeto /var/www/wreeto
  1. Switch to the wreeto user by running the following command:
sudo su - wreeto
  1. Download the latest version of Wreeto by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/chriswarrick/wreeto.git /var/www/wreeto
  1. Install the required packages by running the following command:
cd /var/www/wreeto && npm install
  1. Configure Wreeto database connection by running the following command:
cp .env.example .env && nano .env

Set up MongoDB database connection credentials:

DB_CONNECTION=mongodb
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=27017
DB_DATABASE=wreeto
DB_USERNAME=username
DB_PASSWORD=password

SESSION_SECRET=your-secret

Save and exit the file.

  1. Build and start the server by running the following command:
npm run build
npm run start

The server will be listening on port 3000 by default.

Step 5: Configure Nginx

To access Wreeto on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine, you need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Install Nginx by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install nginx
  1. Remove the default Nginx configuration by running the following command:
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
  1. Create a new configuration file for Wreeto by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/wreeto.conf
  1. Paste the following Nginx configuration into the wreeto.conf file:
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name yourdomain.com;
  
  # SSL configuration

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  }
}

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name.

  1. Save and exit the file.

  2. Create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory by running the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/wreeto.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wreeto.conf
  1. Restart Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Wreeto on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine and configured Nginx to serve it to the internet. You can access Wreeto by navigating to your server's IP address or domain name in your web browser. Enjoy using Wreeto!
