How to Install Fusio on Alpine Linux Latest

Fusio is an open-source API management platform that can help developers to build and integrate APIs quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Fusio on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A server with Alpine Linux Latest installed
• A sudo user with root access

Step 1: Update the System

Firstly, update the packages on your Alpine Linux system by running the following command:

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

To install Fusio on Alpine Linux, you need to install some required dependencies such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache. You can install them using the following command:

sudo apk add apache2 mysql-client php8-apache2 php8-mysqlnd php8-json php8-ctype php8-tokenizer curl

Step 3: Download and Extract the Fusio Package

Now, download the latest version of Fusio from their official website using the following command:

curl -L https://github.com/apioo/fusio/releases/latest/download/fusio_latest.tar.gz -o fusio.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package using the following command:

tar -xvzf fusio.tar.gz

After extracting the package, move the fusio folder to /var/www/ directory:

sudo mv fusio /var/www/

Step 4: Configure Apache for Fusio

Next, you need to create a virtual host file for Fusio so that Apache can serve it. To do this, create a new Apache configuration file named fusio.conf in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory:

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

Then, paste the following content into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-ip-address
    DocumentRoot /var/www/fusio/public

    <Directory /var/www/fusio/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/fusio_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/fusio_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace your-ip-address with the IP address of your server.

Step 5: Enable Apache's Mod Rewrite and Restart the Service

Fusio requires Apache's mod_rewrite module to be enabled. You can enable it using the following command:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Once you have enabled mod_rewrite, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 6: Create a MySQL Database for Fusio

Next, you need to create a MySQL database and user for Fusio. Log in to your MySQL server as the root user:

mysql -u root -p

Then, create a new database and user for Fusio using the following SQL commands:

CREATE DATABASE fusio_db;
CREATE USER 'fusio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fusio_db.* TO 'fusio_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Make sure to replace your-password with a strong password for the Fusio user.

Step 7: Install and Configure Fusio

Now that you have completed all the prerequisites, you can install and configure Fusio on your Alpine Linux system. To do this, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-ip-address/, where you will see the Fusio installation page.

Enter the following details to configure Fusio:

• Database type: MySQL
• Database host: localhost
• Database port: 3306
• Database name: fusio_db
• Database user: fusio_user
• Database password: your-password

Then, click on the Save and continue button, and Fusio will be installed and configured.
