PukiWiki is a popular wiki software that is written in PHP. In this tutorial, we will be installing PukiWiki on Alpine Linux Latest using the following steps:
Before we start, let's update the package list and upgrade any outdated packages:
$ apk update && apk upgrade
To install PukiWiki, we need to install the required packages such as Apache, PHP, and SQLite:
$ apk add apache2 php7 php7-apache2 php7-sqlite3 sqlite
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve our PukiWiki site. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file using the following command:
$ touch /etc/apache2/conf.d/pukiwiki.conf
Add the following lines to the pukiwiki.conf file:
Alias /pukiwiki /var/www/localhost/htdocs/pukiwiki
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/pukiwiki">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Next, let's download the latest PukiWiki archive from https://pukiwiki.osdn.jp/ using the following command:
$ wget https://ja.osdn.net/frs/redir.php?m=jaist&f=%2Fpukiwiki%2F73284%2Fpukiwiki-1.5.2_utf8.zip
Extract the downloaded file to the Apache document root directory:
$ unzip pukiwiki-1.5.2_utf8.zip -d /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
PukiWiki needs write permissions to certain directories for its cache and backup files. Change the ownership of these directories to the Apache user using the following command:
$ chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/pukiwiki/{backup,cache}
Finally, start the Apache web server and make sure it starts automatically on system boot:
$ rc-service apache2 start
$ rc-update add apache2
You have now successfully installed PukiWiki on Alpine Linux Latest. Open a web browser, and navigate to http://<your-server-IP>/pukiwiki/ to access your new wiki site.
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!
