In this tutorial, we will take you through the steps of installing ICEcoder on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:

• A user account with sudo privileges
• An active internet connection

Step 1: Update System

To begin the installation process, log in to your Alpine Linux machine and update the system using the following command:

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Packages

To run ICEcoder on your Alpine Linux system, you will need to install the following packages:

• Nginx web server
• PHP 7.4
• PHP extensions
• Git

Install these packages by running the following command:

sudo apk add nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-json php7-phar php7-iconv php7-openssl php7-mbstring php7-session php7-dom git

Step 3: Clone the ICEcoder Repository

Next, we will clone the ICEcoder repository to our system using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/icecoder/ICEcoder.git /var/www/icecoder

Step 4: Configure Nginx

In this step, we will configure Nginx to serve the ICEcoder application.

Create a new Nginx server block configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/icecoder.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name <your domain or ip>;
    root /var/www/icecoder;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Test the Nginx configuration by running the following command:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors, reload Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

Step 5: Configure ICEcoder

Next, we will configure ICEcoder by creating a new configuration file using the following command:

sudo cp /var/www/icecoder/config.example.php /var/www/icecoder/config.php

Open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /var/www/icecoder/config.php

Update the following configuration values:

• Set timezone to your timezone.
• Set checkUpdates to false.
• Set password to your desired password.

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Access ICEcoder

Finally, access ICEcoder by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<your domain or ip>.

Login using the username admin and the password you set in the previous step.

You should now be able to use ICEcoder on your Alpine Linux system.
