As I said in my latest post, I wasn't very happy with using Disqus to store my comments, mainly because I do *not* want my data to be hosted by someone else. Thanks to some commenters, I was made aware of an alternative, called [isso](http://posativ.org/isso).
|
|
|

After reading the online documentation, I decided to set it up with dennogumi.org. It was all a matter of creating a new user called ``isso``, setting a virtualenv to its home dir, and then installing isso itself and [uWSGI](https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/):
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight bash >}}
|
|
virtualenv ./
|
|
./bin/activate
|
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
And then just start installing:
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight bash >}}
|
|
pip install isso
|
|
pip install uwsgi # for deployment
|
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
I then set up a system-wide configuration in ``/etc/isso/`` which included the uwsgi configuration and isso's own file. The last bit needed was to create a systemd unit file to run uWSGI properly (as inspired by the uWSGI docs):
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight ini >}}
|
|
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=uWSGI
|
|
After=syslog.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
ExecStart=/home/isso/bin/uwsgi --ini /etc/isso/uwsgi.ini
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
|
|
Type=notify
|
|
StandardError=syslog
|
|
NotifyAccess=all
|
|
User=isso
|
|
Group=isso
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
|
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
And here's my uwsgi.ini, for reference:
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight ini >}}
|
|
|
|
[uwsgi]
|
|
http = :8050
|
|
master = true
|
|
; set to `nproc`
|
|
processes = 8
|
|
cache2 = name=hash,items=1024,blocksize=32
|
|
; you may change this
|
|
spooler = /home/isso/spool/
|
|
module = isso.run
|
|
; uncomment if you use a virtual environment
|
|
virtualenv = /home/isso/
|
|
env = ISSO_SETTINGS=/etc/isso/isso.conf
|
|
|
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
Lastly, I needed to create a new domain for dennogumi.org and set nginx to proxy over to port 8050. Everything else was done as the isso documentation suggested. And that's where you see it now. I have imported the comments from Disqus, so everything should be hopefully in place. Let me know if there are issues. |
