Installation

To install Betula, follow this instruction. It has been tested on a real Ubuntu machine.

  1. Get a Go toolchain. Version 1.19 or newer. Configure it, including GOPATH.

  2. Run this command:

    go install git.sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/cmd/betula@latest

    It will install a betula binary in $GOPATH/bin.

  3. Start the program:

    betula links.betula

    You can write any filename instead of links.betula. The extension does not matter.

  4. Now it is live on http://localhost:1738. Visit it.

  5. Betula asks you to set up your account. Pick a username and a password. Afterwards, use it to log in to Betula.

  6. Use!

You might want to set up a reverse proxy to have a nice domain. We recommend nginx.
