Admidio is a web-based group management tool that helps you to manage your organization's members, events, and finances. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and configure Admidio on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following requirements:
The first step is to update and upgrade the packages on your Alpine Linux. You can do this by running the following command:

Admidio requires a web server and PHP to run. In this step, we will install Apache and PHP packages on Alpine Linux using the following command:
sudo apk add apache2 php7 php7-apache2
After installing the packages, start the Apache web server and set it to automatically start at boot time by running this command:
sudo rc-update add apache2
sudo service apache2 start
Admidio requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MySQL as the database. Install MySQL by running this command:
sudo apk add mysql mysql-client
After installing MySQL, start the MySQL service and set it to automatically start at boot time by running the following commands:
sudo rc-update add mysql
sudo service mysql start
Then, set a root password for MySQL root user by running:
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Replace {version_number} with the actual version number of Admidio.

sudo unzip admidio-{version_number}.zip -d /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
Access the Admidio directory in your Alpine Linux file system by running:
