ICEcoder is a web-based code editor that enables developers to create and edit files on the fly. In this tutorial, we'll provide step-by-step instructions on how to install ICEcoder on Clear Linux.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure the following prerequisites are met:
ICEcoder can be installed on a web server that is configured with PHP support. Therefore, you need to install Apache and PHP on your Clear Linux system if they're not already installed.
To install Apache and PHP on Clear Linux, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add apache php-basic
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache web server by running:
sudo systemctl start apache
Verify that Apache is running by accessing your server's IP address on your web browser.
To download and install ICEcoder, follow these steps:
Download the latest version of ICEcoder from its website: https://icecoder.net/.
Extract the downloaded file to the web server's root directory:
sudo tar xzf ~/Downloads/ICEcoder*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Note: If you downloaded a different version or file name, replace ICEcoder*.tar.gz with the correct file name.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ICEcoder/
To configure Apache for ICEcoder, create a new virtual host file for our server:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/icecoder.conf
And paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_server_name
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ICEcoder
<Directory /var/www/html/ICEcoder>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/icecoder_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/icecoder_access.log common
</VirtualHost>
Replace your_server_name with your server's IP address, domain name or another preferred name.
Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host:
sudo a2ensite icecoder.conf
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, access ICEcoder by typing your server's IP address or domain name on your web browser's address bar:
http://<your_server_ip_address>/ICEcoder/
If everything was successful, you should be taken to the ICEcoder login page. You can create an account or use the default credentials of user:password to log in.
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install ICEcoder on Clear Linux Latest. You can now create and edit files directly from your web browser using ICEcoder's intuitive interface.
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!
