I couldn't install NGINX .. !

Post by ushby-organization »

Greetings,

My laptop is low specs and quite old, so I went with Tahrpup 6.0.5.

Long story short.. I am trying to use it as an audio streaming for online radio via my tunnelled local server.

I have done that with NGINX before, configured it with RTMP and streamed with it, using Ngrok and Owncast, on my other laptop which has ubuntu 20.04.

With Puppy OS, The package manager gives error when trying to install NGINX , apt doesn't exist and don't know how to install it or even if it works. I am a Debian & Arch guy.

Looking forward to hear any suggestions.

Thank You.

Moved to 'Beginner's Help'. 'Install' is ONLY for installing the OS.....NOT any software.

Cheers!

Mike. ;)

I had NGINX running in Tahr-6.0.5 which at the time I downloaded the .deb file from the Debian repos and and once downloaded, clicked on the package in a Rox-filer window and PETGET installed it. I checked for anything missing, then configured it and it ran well.
This is a recent version : https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/nginx/download though it should be possible to track down the same package from the Tahr era.

Once installed and configured I found it ran great in Puppy Linux Tahr-6.0.5

Another idea is to use the NGINX packaged by Bitnami, which is self contained and also will run in Puppy Linux but might need a version from the Tahr era as well -> https://bitnami.com/stack/nginx

@ushby-organization / @rockedge :-

Here's the nginx page at /ubuntu/pool. You'll want the stuff from circa 2014/2015. Erik should be able to help you determine exactly which packages you need.

http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/p ... e/n/nginx/

You may even be able to install it via the PPM, given that Canonical extended Tahr's support window out to 2024 last year.....so the repos should still be "active".

@rockedge :-

If you read things a bit closer, Erik, it appears Bitnami dropped support for all native installers as of yesterday. With the sole exception of Macs, as of today, they're focusing exclusively on cloud-ONLY.

Yes, I have, it gives back error and fails. I will check it at later time to give the exact error, I am sorry about that.

I am sorry for my late response and not being very accurate here, I am now struggling with curl installing of owncast, after I found out that nginx isn't needed anymore. Stil, I will try to install it and share it here, for other to benefit.

Thank you all.
