How to Install WikiSuite on Alpine Linux Latest

WikiSuite is a suite of essential open-source tools for managing your organization's digital infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install WikiSuite on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have:

• A server running Alpine Linux Latest
• Root privileges or sudo access
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any new packages, it's always a good idea to update your system's existing packages to their latest versions. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade

Step 2: Add the Alpine Linux Community Repository

WikiSuite requires some packages that are not available in the official Alpine Linux repositories. We need to add the community repository to our system to access these packages. To add the community repository, run the following command:

sudo apk add --no-cache apk-tools-static
sudo wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/alpine-devel@lists.alpinelinux.org-5243ef4b.rsa.pub \
     https://alpinelinux.org/keys/alpine-devel@lists.alpinelinux.org-5243ef4b.rsa.pub
echo "https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories

Step 3: Install the Required Packages

Now we need to install the packages required by WikiSuite. Run the following command to install the packages:

sudo apk add --no-cache apache2 php8 php8-apache2 php8-pear php8-mbstring mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server-utils mariadb-connector-c git unzip sudo wget curl

Step 4: Download and Install WikiSuite

We will now download the latest version of the WikiSuite package from its official website and install it on our system.

sudo mkdir /var/www
sudo chown -R apache: /var/www
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/WikiSuite/core
cd core
sudo ./bin/setup.sh

This script will take some time to complete as it downloads and installs all the packages required by WikiSuite.

Step 5: Run WikiSuite

Once the installation is complete, you can start the WikiSuite server using the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

You can now access your WikiSuite installation by opening your web browser and entering your server's IP address or domain name followed by /core.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WikiSuite on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now manage your organization's digital infrastructure with ease using the various tools provided by WikiSuite.
