In this tutorial, we will be installing Chowdown.io, a static website generator for food blogs, on Alpine Linux Latest. This guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of the command line and have root access to your Alpine Linux system.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following installed on your system:
To install these packages, run the following command as root:
apk add curl git ruby ruby-dev build-base
Install the Chowdown.io gem by executing the following command:
gem install chowdown
Clone the Chowdown.io demo repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/clarklab/chow-demo.git
Change into the cloned directory:
cd chow-demo
Initialize the Chowdown.io project by running the following command in the cloned directory:
chowdown init
Start the Chowdown.io server by running the following command:
chowdown serve
This will start a local server at http://localhost:3000.
Visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to view the Chowdown.io demo site.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Chowdown.io on Alpine Linux Latest. Now that you have Chowdown.io up and running, you can begin creating your own food blog!
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!
