# QotNews
## Self-hosting
Install dependencies:
```text
# Python:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv
# Yarn / nodejs:
# from https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#debian-stable
$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install yarn
```
Clone this repo:
```text
$ git clone https://gogs.tannercollin.com/tanner/qotnews.git
$ cd qotnews
```
### API Server
Create a venv, activate it, and install:
```text
$ cd apiserver
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Configure Praw for your Reddit account:
* Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
* Click "Create app"
* Name: whatever
* App type: script
* Description: blank
* About URL: blank
* Redirect URL: your GitHub profile
* Submit, copy the client ID and client secret into `praw.ini`:
```text
(env) $ vim praw.ini
[bot]
client_id=paste here
client_secret=paste here
user_agent=script by github/your-username-here
```
Now you can run the server:
```text
(env) $ python server.py
```
### Readability Server
Used as a fallback if outline.com doesn't work
```text
# In a different terminal
$ cd ../readerserver
$ yarn install
```
Now you can run the server:
```text
$ node main.js
```
### Webclient
```text
# In a different terminal
$ cd ../webclient
$ yarn install
$ yarn build
```
The webclient is served by the API server, so you can close this terminal.
### Security
It's recommended to run QotNews as its own Linux user, kept alive with [supervisor](https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/).
Add a `qotnews` Linux user, move the repo into its home folder.
Configure `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/qotnews.conf`:
```text
[program:qotnewsapi]
user=qotnews
directory=/home/qotnews/qotnews/apiserver
command=/home/qotnews/qotnews/apiserver/env/bin/python -u server.py
stopsignal=INT
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsapi.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsapi.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
[program:qotnewsreader]
user=qotnews
directory=/home/qotnews/qotnews/readerserver
command=node main.js
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsreader.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsreader.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
```
To expose QotNews to http / https, you should configure nginx to reverse proxy:
```text
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name news.t0.vc;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:33842/;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
```
Then run `sudo certbot --nginx` and follow the prompts, enable redirect.
