Umbraco is an open-source content management system that is perfect for building dynamic and responsive websites. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Umbraco on Debian Latest.
Before starting with the installation process of Umbraco, you need to make sure that the following prerequisites are already met.
Before proceeding further, you need to run the following command to update the packages index of the APT repository.
sudo apt update
After updating the APT repository, you need to install the necessary packages that are required to run Umbraco.
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml unzip
Next, you need to create a new database and user for Umbraco in MySQL/MariaDB. Replace [umbraco_db], [umbraco_user], and [password] with your preferred values.
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE [umbraco_db] CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER '[umbraco_user]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON [umbraco_db].* TO '[umbraco_user]'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
After setting up the database, you need to download Umbraco's latest version from the official website https://umbraco.com/.
cd /tmp
wget https://our.umbraco.com/versions/latest.zip
unzip latest.zip
sudo mv umbraco /var/www/html/
Next, you need to set the correct permission of Umbraco's installation directory.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/umbraco/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/umbraco/
After installing Umbraco, you need to configure Apache web server to serve Umbraco's installation directory.
You can create a new virtual host configuration file for Umbraco using the following command.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/umbraco.conf
Add the following content in the file and save it.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName [your_domain_name_or_IP_address]
ServerAdmin [your_email]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/umbraco/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Then, you can enable the virtual host configuration and restart the Apache web server.
sudo a2ensite umbraco.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Now, Umbraco is running on Apache web server. To complete the Umbraco setup, open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain_name_or_IP_address.
Follow the instructions to complete the Umbraco setup process.
That's it. You have successfully installed and setup Umbraco on your Debian Latest server.
Happy Coding!
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!
