<p dir="auto">Setting up a yacy web portal for steemit.com on Digital ocean.
<p dir="auto">Does not work on $5 droplet may work on $10 This is running on a $20 droplet
<p dir="auto">ubuntu 14.04
<p dir="auto">changerootpasswd(you have to do this when spinning up new droplet)
<p dir="auto">we dont want to run yacy has root so make another useraccount:
<pre><code>useradd -d /home/yacy-server -m yacy-server
passwd yacy-server
<p dir="auto">give user yacy-server sudo rights
<pre><code>visudo
<p dir="auto">(ubuntu's visudo opens in nano, nice)<br />
add the line
<pre><code>yacy-server ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
<p dir="auto">save and exit
<p dir="auto">update and install openjdk7
<pre><code>apt-get update && apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
<p dir="auto">change user to yacy-server
<pre><code>su - yacy-server
<p dir="auto">you should now be in /home/yacy-server/ dir<br />
download yacy, check <a href="http://yacy.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">yacy.net for lastest

<p dir="auto">extract
<pre><code>tar xzvf yacy_v1.90_20160704_9000.tar.gz
<p dir="auto">now start yacy
<pre><code>yacy/startYACY.sh
<p dir="auto">now to set a password for admin
<pre><code>yacy/bin/passwd.sh yourpasswordhere
<p dir="auto">.. note:<br />
This is a quick Demo, A better way would be to use links in the ssh terminal
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install links
links 127.0.0.1:8090/ConfigBasic.html
<p dir="auto">.. warning:<br />
If you use your browser you are going to send your username and password<br />

This is awesome, thanks! Would you mind sharing the Yacy index? It is actually against the terms of Steemit.com to use a crawler on the site.
sry for delay in replying , been away from steemit for a while.
This was a quick tutorial on what yacy could do, i am trying to boycott google and would prefer yacy for searching steemit.
my plan was to redo this, and make a better tutorial were i took my time and make it freely available for everyone to use.
But because it is against the terms of Steemit.com to use a crawler, it is now down.
sorry about that.
Do you guys know if there is still a conflict between these projects? #Oct2017
This is a very cool thing. I am hesitant to send any login info over the internet at this time unsecured but I will be keeping an eye on what you are doing as this looks very useful. Especially for those of us that do have servers we can put to work with this.
i did not have much time today so i did a quick write up.
yacy is its own project its been around for a while.
this was a demo of yacy has a web portal for a steemit.
that anyone can set up and use.
I am not a fan of google anymore so i like to use other search methods.
