In this tutorial, we will be installing Journal, a note-taking application, on Alpine Linux Latest. Journal is an open-source application that allows you to easily create and manage notes.
Before we can start installing Journal, we need to install some required packages. Run the following command to update the package list and install the required packages:
apk update && apk add git php7 php7-dom php7-xmlwriter php7-tokenizer php7-mbstring php7-json composer
This command updates the package list and installs Git, PHP 7, and the required PHP extensions.
Next, we need to clone the Journal repository from GitHub using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal.git
This command clones the Journal repository to your current directory.
Before we can start using Journal, we need to install its dependencies using Composer. Run the following command to install dependencies:
cd journal
composer install --no-dev
This command installs the required PHP packages using Composer.
Once the dependencies have been installed, we can start using Journal. Run the following command to start the application:
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
This command starts the PHP development server on port 8000 and serves the application from the public/ directory.
You can now access Journal by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:8000/.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Journal on Alpine Linux Latest. We installed the required packages, cloned the Journal repository, installed dependencies, and ran the application. With Journal installed, you can easily create and manage notes from within your web browser.
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!
