Wiki.js is a powerful, modern and lightweight wiki platform that lets you run your own wiki website easily. It offers the necessary features to organize and manage your knowledge, collaborate with others, and integrate with third-party applications. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wiki.js on Clear Linux Latest.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new packages, we need to update the system packages. Open a terminal or SSH session and run the following command:
sudo swupd update
This command will update the package lists and apply any available updates.
Next, we need to install the required packages that will allow us to install and run Wiki.js. Run the following command to install Node.js, SQLite, and other dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
sudo npm install --global wiki.js --unsafe-perms
The first command installs Node.js and its basic dependencies. The second command installs Wiki.js globally using NPM.
Now, we need to create a new directory for our Wiki.js instance and configure its settings. Run the following commands:
sudo mkdir /var/wiki
sudo wiki configure
This will launch the Wiki.js configuration wizard. Follow the prompted steps to set up your wiki, including choosing a database, creating an admin user, and configuring other settings.
Once the configuration is complete, start the Wiki.js service:
sudo wiki start
This command will start the Wiki.js service in the background. You can check its status by running:
sudo wiki status
You should see a message indicating that the service is running.
Now that Wiki.js is up and running, you can access it from a web browser by visiting http://localhost:3000. If you are accessing the server remotely, replace "localhost" with the IP address or hostname of the server.
You should see the Wiki.js login page. Enter the admin username and password you created during the configuration wizard to log in and start using Wiki.js.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Wiki.js on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start organizing and managing your knowledge with this powerful wiki platform.
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!
