Vendure is an open-source e-commerce platform that is built with TypeScript and Node.js. It is designed to be flexible, scalable, and customizable. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Vendure on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to make sure that our system is up to date and install all the necessary dependencies required for Vendure.
sudo apk update
sudo apk add nodejs npm build-base python postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-contrib
We need to create a new database for Vendure to store its data. We will use PostgreSQL as our database server, but you can use any other database server like MySQL or SQLite.
sudo su postgres
createdb vendure_db
Now we will install Vendure using npm. We will use the latest version of Vendure, which can be found on the Vendure website.
sudo npm install -g @vendure/cli
vendure init my-vendure-store --db-type postgres --db-name vendure_db --db-user postgres --db-password your_password
This command will create a new Vendure store in a directory called my-vendure-store and configure it to use PostgreSQL as the database server.
Let’s start the Vendure server.
cd my-vendure-store
vendure start
It will start the server and output a message like “Vendure server listening on http://localhost:3000”.
Now you can access your Vendure store by going to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser. You should see a message saying “Your Vendure server is up and running!”.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vendure on Alpine Linux Latest.
In this tutorial, we guided you through the process of installing Vendure on Alpine Linux Latest. Although it is a bit of a complex process, it is well worth the effort when you consider the flexibility, scalability, and customization that Vendure provides.
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!
