In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing Minimalist Online Markdown Editor, also known as MOME, on Debian Latest. MOME is a free and open-source online Markdown editor that allows users to create and edit documents in Markdown syntax.
Before we start the installation process, you need to have access to a Debian Latest server with root or sudo privileges.
First, log in to your Debian Latest server and update the system using the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the update and upgrade process to complete.
Next, you need to install the necessary packages for running MOME. Run the following command to install Apache, PHP, and Git:
sudo apt install apache2 php git -y
Enter your password if prompted, and wait for the installation process to complete.
Now, you need to clone the MOME repository to your server:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/pioul/MoME.git
This will create a new directory named "MoME" inside the "/var/www/html" directory.
To enable MOME on your server, you need to create a new virtual host in Apache. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mome.conf
In the nano editor, paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain.com
ServerAlias www.your_domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/MoME
<Directory /var/www/html/MoME>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mome_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mome_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "your_domain.com" with your domain or IP address.
Save the file and exit the editor by pressing "CTRL+X," followed by "Y," and then "Enter."
Now, enable the virtual host by running the command:
sudo a2ensite mome.conf
And reload Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Open your web browser and visit "http://your_domain.com" or "http://your_server_ip_address." You should see the MOME homepage, and you can start creating and editing Markdown documents.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Minimalist Online Markdown Editor on your Debian Latest server. Now you can use MOME to create and edit Markdown documents without any hassle.
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!
