Directus is a powerful and flexible open-source headless CMS that provides an intuitive and customizable interface for managing content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Directus on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you can install Directus, you first need to have Clear Linux Latest installed on your machine. If you haven't done so already, head over to the Clear Linux website and download the latest version of the ISO image.
Once you have Clear Linux Latest up and running, the next step is to install the required packages for Directus. Open up a terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-pdo sqlite3 nginx
This command installs the basic PHP requirements, the PDO driver for SQLite, and the Nginx web server.
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that is used by Directus. To install Composer, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
This command downloads and installs Composer globally on your system.
Once you have installed Composer, you can now download and install Directus. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo composer create-project directus/directus /var/www/html/directus
This command downloads the latest version of Directus and installs it in the /var/www/html/directus directory.
The last step is to configure Nginx to serve Directus. Open the Nginx configuration file in your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name directus.example.com;
root /var/www/html/directus/public;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace "directus.example.com" with your own domain name or IP address. Save and close the file.
Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
You can now access Directus by visiting http://directus.example.com in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Directus on Clear Linux Latest. Directus is a powerful and flexible headless CMS that can be used to manage and deliver your content 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!
