WriteFreely Installation

Thanks for writing this up! Just a small improvement I’d make for getting WriteFreely onto your server – instead of downloading and FTPing everything, you can run this on your server:

# TODO: Set this to the exact version number you want
export WFVER=0.7.1

# Download the archive
wget https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/releases/download/v$WFVER/writefreely_${WFVER}_linux_amd64.tar.gz

# Unzip it to your installation directory (~/writefreely in this case)
mkdir -p /home/$USER/writefreely
tar -C /home/$USER/writefreely -xzf writefreely_${WFVER}_linux_amd64.tar.gz
