Payload CMS is a headless content management system that can be used to create and manage API-driven content for web and mobile applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Payload CMS on Debian Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Payload CMS requires MongoDB as its backend database. To install MongoDB on Debian Latest, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mongodb
To start the MongoDB service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongod
To enable the MongoDB service on system reboot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mongod
To install Payload CMS, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g payloadcms
After installing Payload CMS, create a new directory where you want to store the configuration files and run the following command:
payload init
This command will generate a sample configuration file named config.yml. You can customize this file as per your requirements.
To start Payload CMS, run the following command:
payload start
Now you can access the Payload CMS dashboard by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Payload CMS on Debian Latest. Now you can use Payload CMS to create and manage API-driven content for your web and mobile applications.
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!
