Setting up a yacy web portal for steemit.com on Digital ocean.
Does not work on $5 droplet may work on $10 This is running on a $20 droplet
ubuntu 14.04
changerootpasswd(you have to do this when spinning up new droplet)
we dont want to run yacy has root so make another useraccount:
useradd -d /home/yacy-server -m yacy-server
passwd yacy-server
give user yacy-server sudo rights
visudo
(ubuntu's visudo opens in nano, nice)
add the line
yacy-server ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
save and exit
update and install openjdk7
apt-get update && apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
change user to yacy-server
su - yacy-server
you should now be in /home/yacy-server/ dir
download yacy, check yacy.net for lastest
wget http://yacy.net/release/yacy_v1.90_20160704_9000.tar.gz
extract
tar xzvf yacy_v1.90_20160704_9000.tar.gz
now start yacy
yacy/startYACY.sh
now to set a password for admin
yacy/bin/passwd.sh yourpasswordhere
.. note:
This is a quick Demo, A better way would be to use links in the ssh terminal
sudo apt-get install links
links 127.0.0.1:8090/ConfigBasic.html
.. warning:
If you use your browser you are going to send your username and password
over the internet in plaintext has we are connecting over http and not https:
This is BAD! This is quick demo of yacy has web portal.
we will change admin password over ssh, the same way has above has soon has we are done.
now login to server using a web browser
http://your_server_ip_address:8090
in my demo case http://46.101.159.129:8090
click "Administration" should send you to the Basic configuration page.
for 2.Use Case: select 'Search portal for your own wen pages'
also change your peer name
click 'Set Configuation' and done now over to 'Load Web Pages, Crawler'
in site enter 'https://steemit.com' and press 'Start New Crawl'
now its going to take a very long time to crawl, Steemit is Huge.
we can now change admin passwd.
back to the ssh terminal to your droplet and change admin password:
yacy/bin/passwd.sh newpasswordhere
and done :) now visit http://your_server_ip_address:8090 to enjoy your own search portal into steemit
