How to Install AsmBB on Void Linux

AsmBB is a free and open-source bulletin board software designed for x86 assembly programming community. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install AsmBB on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Void Linux.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Install Dependencies

Before installing AsmBB, you need to install some dependencies using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S nginx git unzip uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3

Download AsmBB

Next, let's download AsmBB from the official GitHub repository using Git:

git clone https://github.com/asm32u4/asm-bb.git

After the download is complete, enter the AsmBB folder:

cd asm-bb

Install AsmBB

Now let's run the installation script to set up AsmBB on your server:

sudo ./install.sh -full /usr/share/nginx/html/asmbb

This will install AsmBB in the /usr/share/nginx/html/asmbb folder.

Configure Nginx

Now we need to configure Nginx to serve AsmBB to the web. Run the following command to create an Nginx configuration file for AsmBB:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/asmbb.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name your_domain.com;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/asmbb-access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/asmbb-error.log;

        location / {
                include uwsgi_params;
                uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/asmbb/socket;
                uwsgi_read_timeout 300;
        }
}

Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name.

Now, create a symbolic link to enable the configuration:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/asmbb.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Reload Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

Start AsmBB

Finally, start AsmBB with the following command:

sudo systemctl start uwsgi

Congratulations, you have successfully installed AsmBB on Void Linux.
