How-to notes

To complement https://isso-comments.de/docs/reference/installation/. But you might be better off reading the original documentation directly.

The below assumes you have a git non-root user.

As root

sudo apt install pip3
pip3 install isso

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-virtualenv python3-dev
sudo mkdir /etc/isso
sudo chown git /etc/isso

as normal user

virtualenv /etc/isso source /etc/isso/bin/activate

added the following to the config to avoid conflicting with a different service.

[server]
listen = http://localhost:8081
