Joomla! is an open-source content management system used for building websites and web applications. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Joomla! on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that your Arch Linux system meets the following prerequisites:
To install Joomla! on Arch Linux, you can use the joomla package from the official Arch Linux repositories. To install Joomla!, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S joomla
This will install the latest version of Joomla! from the Arch Linux repositories.
To use Joomla!, you need to configure your web server to serve the Joomla! files from your web root directory.
If you are using Apache as your web server, you need to create a virtual host for Joomla!. Here's an example configuration for Apache:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
<Directory /var/www/example.com/public_html/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain name and DocumentRoot with the path to your web root directory.
If you are using Nginx as your web server, you need to create a server block for Joomla!. Here's an example configuration for Nginx:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/example.com/public_html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
}
}
Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain name and root with the path to your web root directory.
After configuring your web server, restart your web server to apply the changes.
After configuring your web server, you can install Joomla! by going to your domain name in your web browser. For example, if your domain name is example.com, go to http://example.com.
You will see the Joomla! installation screen. Follow the prompts on the screen to install Joomla!.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to Joomla! to start creating your website or web application.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Joomla! on Arch Linux, configure your web server, and install Joomla!. With Joomla!, you can now create powerful websites and web applications with ease.
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!
