Sure, here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install FlatPress on Alpine Linux Latest:

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation of FlatPress, you should have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of Alpine Linux Latest.
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface (CLI).
• Access to the root user or a user with sudo permissions.

Step 1: Update the Package Repositories

The first step is to update the package repositories of your Alpine Linux server. You can do this by executing the following command:

sudo apk update

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

FlatPress requires a web server to run. We will use Apache as our web server. You can install the Apache web server using the following command:

sudo apk add apache2

Step 3: Start the Apache Web Server

Once Apache is installed, you can start it by running the following command:

sudo rc-service apache2 start

Step 4: Install PHP

FlatPress is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP on our server. You can install PHP by running the following command:

sudo apk add php7 php7-apache2 php7-json php7-mysqlnd php7-pdo php7-mbstring php7-dom php7-xml php7-simplexml

Step 5: Download FlatPress

Next, we need to download the latest version of FlatPress from their official website (https://flatpress.org/). You can download it using the following command:

wget https://github.com/flatpress/flatpress/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.tar.gz

Step 6: Extract FlatPress

After downloading the FlatPress archive, we need to extract its contents using the following command:

tar xzf v1.1.tar.gz

Step 7: Move FlatPress to the Apache Web Root

Now that we have extracted FlatPress, we need to move it to the Apache web root directory. You can do this using the following command:

sudo mv flatpress-1.1 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/flatpress

Step 8: Configure Apache to Serve FlatPress

To make Apache serve FlatPress, we need to create a new virtual host configuration file. You can do this by creating a new file called flatpress.conf in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/flatpress.conf

Next, add the following content to the flatpress.conf file:

Alias /flatpress /var/www/localhost/htdocs/flatpress
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/flatpress">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Step 9: Restart Apache

After creating the flatpress.conf file, you need to restart Apache to apply the changes. You can do this using the following command:

sudo rc-service apache2 restart

Step 10: Finish the Installation Process

Once Apache has restarted, you can finish the installation process of FlatPress by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

http://<your-server-ip>/flatpress/admin/

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
