Self-hosting your Wallabag to your Raspberry Pi

01/31/2018 08:29

wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages: Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely. https://wallabag.org

Wallabag is a free/libre and open source software licensed under MIT license. This is an alternative to Pocket (although I’ve never used it), Instapaper and Xmarks.

I save web pages using the traditional ‘Save Page’,’Save Page as PDF’ and mostly screenshotting them (Screengrab) but these methods are not productive since it leaves a lot of files to my desktop and it is not portable I have to copy and paste them other devices just only to read them.

In this tutorial I will install Wallabag in a different port than 80 (http) or 443 (https) since I used them for something else. Let us clone the wallabag repo to /var
You may want to run these through tmux


$ tmux
$ cd /var
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag.git

Install dependencies ( I will use MariaDB(MySQL) and php7 if you have php5 you can remove it by apt-get remove packagename)


$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php composer git-core php-bcmath php-gd php-dompdf php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-tidy php-symfony-polyfill-iconv php-curl php-gettext php-mysql make zip unzip

Let us add our web server root location since I am not going to put it on /var/www

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

<Directory /var/wallabag/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Modify ports.conf and add the Listen https

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf
<IfModule ssl_module>
Listen 88XX https
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 88XX https
</IfModule>

If you have a domain: mydomain.dynamicdns.com
Add a new site to apache2/sites-available

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wallabag.conf
<VirtualHost *:88XX>
ServerName mydomain.dynamicdns.com
ServerAlias mydomain.dynamicdns.com
DocumentRoot /var/wallabag/web

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxxxx/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxxx/privkey.pem
DocumentRoot /var/wallabag/web
    <Directory /var/wallabag/web>
         Require all granted

        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            Options -MultiViews
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>

    # uncomment the following lines if you install assets as symlinks
    # or run into problems when compiling LESS/Sass/CoffeScript assets
    # <Directory /var/wallabag/wallabag>
    #      Options FollowSymlinks
    # </Directory>

    # optionally disable the RewriteEngine for the asset directories
    # which will allow apache to simply reply with a 404 when files are
    # not found instead of passing the request into the full symfony stack
    <Directory /var/wallabag/web/bundles>
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            RewriteEngine Off
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wallabag_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/wallabag_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Create the database:

$ sudo mysql -uroot
]>CREATE DATABASE wallabag;
]>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wallabag.* TO 'wallabag'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MYgoodPasWord';
]>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
]>\q

Begin the installation process, this make take a while since it will install modules, dependencies and configurations to run wallabag.

$ cd /var/wallabag

$ tmux

$ sudo make install

If you do not know the parameters just press enter and the default will be set, for more information please visit https://doc.wallabag.org/en/admin/parameters.html
You need to generate a secret key, you can do this by using a password manager or just use dd command.

$ dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 bs=20 2>/dev/null|base64

INTERACTIVE OUTPUT:

 
        user@user:/var/wallabag $ sudo make install
composer.phar not found, we'll see if composer is installed globally.
Note: checking out '2.3.2'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at b1b4ae6f... Release wallabag 2.3.2
Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details

> Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile

Wallabag installer
==================

Step 1 of 4: Checking system requirements.
------------------------------------------

 ------------------------ -------- ---------------- 
  Checked                  Status   Recommendation  
 ------------------------ -------- ---------------- 
  PDO Driver (pdo_mysql)   OK!                      
  Database connection      OK!                      
  Database version         OK!                      
  curl_exec                OK!                      
  curl_multi_init          OK!                      
 ------------------------ -------- ---------------- 

                                                                                                     
 [OK] Success! Your system can run wallabag properly.                                                
                                                                                                     

Step 2 of 4: Setting up database.
---------------------------------

 It appears that your database already exists. Would you like to reset it? (yes/no) [no]:
 > yes

 Dropping database, creating database and schema...
 Clearing the cache...

 Database successfully setup.

Step 3 of 4: Administration setup.
----------------------------------

 Would you like to create a new admin user (recommended)? (yes/no) [yes]:
 > yes

 Username [wallabag]:
 > admin

 Password [wallabag]:
 > 

 Email []:
 > admin@mydomain.dynamicdns.com

 Administration successfully setup.

Step 4 of 4: Config setup.
--------------------------

 Config successfully setup.

                                                                                                     
 [OK] Wallabag has been successfully installed.                                                      
                                                                                                     

                                                                                                     
 [OK] You can now configure your web server, see https://doc.wallabag.org

Now we need to set permissionsfrom root to www-data.

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/walllabag

You need to create an SSL certificate using Let’s Encrypt and configure apache to become more secure against SSL attacks.
https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/


$ sudo a2ensite wallabag
$ sudo systemctl start apache2
$ sudo ufw allow 88XX/tcp

Start apache2,allow the port from firewall and port forward if you are hosting this on your own pi.

Download the wallabag client and login to your wallabag host and start saving articles to read!
Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wallabagger/
Android F-Droid apk or use Google Play Store https://f-droid.org/packages/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche/

You need to also harden your apache webserver.
