In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps needed to install Apache, which can be downloaded from http://httpd.apache.org/, on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before starting this tutorial, you should have the following:
Open a terminal or SSH into your Alpine Linux server.
Update the package index by executing the following command:
sudo apk update
Install Apache by executing the following command:
sudo apk add apache2
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache service by executing the following command:
sudo rc-service apache2 start
Verify that Apache is running by navigating to the server's IP address or public hostname in a web browser. You should see the Apache default page if the installation was successful.
Apache's configuration files can be found in the /etc/apache2/ directory. The main configuration file is located at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
To make changes to the configuration, edit the appropriate configuration file(s) and then restart the Apache service using the following command:
sudo rc-service apache2 restart
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache on Alpine Linux Latest and can now begin configuring it to serve your web application.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
