Eqivo is an open-source content management system designed for small to medium-sized websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Eqivo on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update your system's package list and upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions. Open your terminal and run the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
It may take some time to complete the upgrade process depending on your system speed and internet connection. Once the upgrade is complete, reboot your system:
sudo reboot
Eqivo requires a web server (Apache) and PHP to run on your system. To install them, execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache
The above command installs Apache web server and PHP with Apache module.
Next, we need to configure Apache to run Eqivo. Open the Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName eqivo.local
DocumentRoot /usr/share/webapps/eqivo
<Directory /usr/share/webapps/eqivo>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Now, we can install Eqivo on our system using the following command:
sudo pacman -S eqivo
It will install Eqivo and any dependencies required.
Now we can start the Apache service and enable the PHP module using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable php-apache.service
Now we can test Eqivo by opening your web browser and navigating to http://eqivo.local. You should see Eqivo's homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Eqivo on Arch Linux. You can now use Eqivo to create and manage your websites.
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!
