Chyrp Lite is a flat-file CMS (content management system) that allows you to create and manage your website or blog without a database. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Chyrp Lite on Debian latest version.
Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that the following packages are installed on your Debian system:
You can install these packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-dom php-simplexml php-gd
To install Chyrp Lite, download the latest version of the software from the official website at https://chyrplite.net.
wget https://github.com/xenocrat/chyrp-lite/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, unzip the package and move it to the /var/www/html directory:
unzip master.zip
sudo mv chyrp-lite-master /var/www/html/chyrp-lite
To configure Apache to serve Chyrp Lite, create a new virtual host configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/chyrp-lite.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain_name.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/chyrp-lite
<Directory /var/www/html/chyrp-lite>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/chyrp-lite_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/chyrp-lite_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Be sure to replace your_domain_name.com with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file when done.
After creating the virtual host configuration file, enable it by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite chyrp-lite.conf
Then, restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now, open your web browser and go to http://your_domain_name.com/chyrp-lite/ to start the Chyrp Lite installation
You will see the welcome screen where you need to select the language and click the next button.
On the next screen, read the Chyrp Lite license agreement and click the I Agree button.
The next screen will prompt you to enter your website's information, including the website title, tagline, and your email address.
On the next screen, create an administrative user by providing a username, password, and email address.
Finally, click the Install button to complete the installation process.
After the installation, you need to configure the file permission for security purposes.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/chyrp-lite
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/chyrp-lite
sudo chmod 644 /var/www/html/chyrp-lite/config.yaml
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chyrp Lite on Debian. You can now log in to the Chyrp Lite admin panel and customize your website.
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!
