Tutorial- Multiple Fchannel websites running on the same vps.

[ghost]

For those who do not know, Fchannel app is really nice- it has auto archive after 100 posts, a nice catalog, is super fast, and is a really nice ib- no bloat-, just a great ib. Unlike other imageboards with hundreds of dependencies and full of bloat, fchannel has very few dependencies and is easy to work with and maintain. You should learn and use fchannel- it is rapidly developing into the best known imageboard in the galaxy. Hundreds of millions of websites are predicted to use fchannel in the very near future. To help people install it, here is a tutorial for people on ubuntu vps for using systemd to run multiple instances of fchannel app on a single vps. For each instance, make a seperate server file and directory. Each separate instance needs its own database. You will have to use nginx to put each site on a new port, too. For example

    proxy_pass         "http://127.0.0.1:3000";
}

}

////// sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.net /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ ////// sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx sudo certbot --nginx -d mysite.net -d www.mysite.net
