How to Install ICEcoder on Debian Latest

ICEcoder is an open-source, browser-based code editor that allows you to write and edit code in a web browser. It is a useful tool for web developers, and it supports multiple languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of ICEcoder on Debian latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Debian latest server or desktop system
• Sudo or root access to the server or desktop
• A web browser (preferably Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox)

Step 1: Update the APT Package List

First, you need to update the APT package list by running the following command:

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

ICEcoder requires a web server to run. In this step, we will install the Apache web server on your system. Run the following command to install Apache:

sudo apt install apache2

After installation, start the Apache web server and enable it to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2

Step 3: Install PHP and Required Extensions

ICEcoder is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP and its required extensions. Run the following command to install PHP and its required extensions:

sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-zip php-curl php-xml php-mbstring

After installation, restart the Apache web server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Download and Install ICEcoder

In this step, we will download and install ICEcoder on your system.

1. Download the latest version of ICEcoder from the official website using the following command:

wget https://github.com/icecoder/ICEcoder/archive/v5.8.5.tar.gz

2. Extract the downloaded file:

tar -xzf v5.8.5.tar.gz

3. Move the extracted folder to the Apache document root directory:

sudo mv ICEcoder-5.8.5 /var/www/html/icecoder

4. Change the ownership of the extracted folder:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/icecoder

Step 5: Configure Apache Virtual Host for ICEcoder

In this step, we will configure an Apache virtual host for ICEcoder.

1. Create a new Apache configuration file for ICEcoder:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/icecoder.conf

2. Add the below content in the configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/icecoder
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name or server IP address.

3. Enable the virtual host configuration and restart the Apache web server:

sudo a2ensite icecoder.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Access ICEcoder

In this step, we will access ICEcoder from our web browser. Open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://example.com/icecoder

Replace example.com with your domain name or server IP address.

You will see the ICEcoder login page. Enter your username and password to login.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured ICEcoder on Debian latest.

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!
