How to Install TYPO3 on Alpine Linux Latest

TYPO3 is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) used for creating and managing websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing TYPO3 on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A server running Alpine Linux Latest.
• Root or sudo access to the server.
• PHP 7.x or higher.
• MySQL or MariaDB database installed and running.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To install TYPO3, first, you need to install the required packages. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo apk add php7 php7-mysqli php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-xml php7-zlib php7-curl php7-json php7-imap php7-gd php7-mbstring php7-openssl php7-zip

This command will install PHP and all the necessary extensions required for TYPO3.

Step 2: Download and Extract TYPO3

Next, download and extract the TYPO3 package from their official website. In this tutorial, we will download version 10.4.18.

wget https://get.typo3.org/10.4.18 -O typo3.tar.gz
tar -zxvf typo3.tar.gz

The above command will download and extract TYPO3 into a directory named typo3_src-10.4.18.

Step 3: Move TYPO3 to Document Root

Now, move the extracted TYPO3 directory to your web server's document root directory. In this tutorial, we will assume that your document root is /var/www/htdocs.

sudo mv typo3_src-10.4.18 /var/www/htdocs/typo3

Step 4: Create TYPO3 Configuration

Next, you need to create a new configuration file for TYPO3. Copy the default configuration file and rename it.

cd /var/www/htdocs/typo3
cp typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php{.dist,}

Now, edit the LocalConfiguration.php file and configure your database settings.

sudo nano typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php

Make sure to change the DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_NAME variables to the correct database settings.

'DB' => [
    'Connections' => [
        'Default' => [
            'host' => 'localhost',
            'port' => '3306',
            'user' => 'your_database_user_name',
            'password' => 'your_database_password',
            'dbname' => 'your_database_name',
        ],
    ],
],

Step 5: Set Permissions

Set the correct permissions for TYPO3's directories.

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/htdocs/typo3
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/htdocs/typo3

Step 6: Access TYPO3

TYPO3 is now installed and configured on your Alpine Linux server. Access the TYPO3 installation by navigating to your server's IP address or domain name in your web browser.

http://your_server_ip_or_domain/typo3

Follow the prompt to finish the TYPO3 installation process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed TYPO3 on Alpine Linux Latest.

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!
