In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Lighttpd on Alpine Linux latest. Lighttpd is a lightweight and fast web server that is optimized for high-performance websites.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before we begin, we need to update the system to the latest packages using the following commands:
$ sudo apk update
$ sudo apk upgrade
To install Lighttpd on Alpine Linux, run the following command:
$ sudo apk add lighttpd
Now that Lighttpd is installed, we need to start and enable the service so that it automatically starts on boot. To do this, run the following commands:
$ sudo rc-service lighttpd start
$ sudo rc-update add lighttpd
To verify that Lighttpd is installed and running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. If everything was installed correctly, you should see the default Lighttpd welcome page.
If you are running Alpine Linux in a virtual machine, you will need to use the IP address of the virtual machine instead of localhost.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Lighttpd on Alpine Linux latest. You can now start using Lighttpd to serve your websites and web applications.
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!
