How to Install Documize on Debian Latest

Documize is a modern documentation platform that allows you to create, organize, and share documentation in a fast and intuitive way. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Documize on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

1. A Debian Latest server with root access.
2. A domain name pointed to the server.

Step 1: Install Docker

Documize requires Docker to run. If you haven't already installed Docker, you can do so by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y

After the installation is complete, start the Docker service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 2: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. You can install Docker Compose by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install docker-compose

Step 3: Create the Documize Docker Compose File

Create a new directory for the Documize installation:

mkdir documize
cd documize

Create a new file called docker-compose.yml using your favorite editor:

nano docker-compose.yml

Copy and paste the following contents into the file, making changes as necessary:

version: '3'
services:
  documize:
    image: documize/community
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 80:8080
    volumes:
      - documize:/var/lib/documize
      - database:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      DB_CONNECTION: postgresql
      DB_HOST: database
      DB_PORT: 5432
      DB_NAME: documize
      DB_USER: documize
      DB_PASS: password
volumes:
  documize:
  database:
    driver: local

Note: You can change the database password by replacing 'password' with your desired password.

Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y and Enter.

Step 4: Start the Documize Docker Container

Start the Docker container by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This will download the Documize image and start the container in the background.

Step 5: Access the Documize Web Interface

Once the container is up and running, you can access the Documize web interface by navigating to http://yourdomain.com.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Documize on Debian Latest using Docker Compose.
