KeystoneJS is a powerful Node.js-based content management system that provides an easy way to develop web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing KeystoneJS on the latest version of Alpine Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation of KeystoneJS, there are a few prerequisites that we need to cover.
KeystoneJS requires some build essentials to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command in your terminal:
apk add --no-cache make gcc g++ python
Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install KeystoneJS.
Run the following command to install KeystoneJS globally:
npm install -g generator-keystone && yo keystone
KeystoneJS will ask you a few questions about the project setup, such as the name and description of your project, the database provider, and other customization options.
Once the installation is complete, KeystoneJS will generate a boilerplate project for you.
Open up another terminal window and start the MongoDB service by running the following command:
mongod
Create a MongoDB database for your KeystoneJS project by running the following command:
mongo
> use keystonedb
Note: Replace keystonedb with the name of your own database.
Ensure you have a MongoDB user with permissions to access your database.
In the same terminal window where you installed KeystoneJS, navigate to the project directory using the cd command.
Start the KeystoneJS server by running the following command:
node keystone.js
Your KeystoneJS application should now be available at http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed KeystoneJS on Alpine Linux Latest! You can now begin developing your new web application using the KeystoneJS CMS.
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!
