How to Install WebODF on Debian Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the installation of WebODF on Debian latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Clone the WebODF Repository

Firstly, clone the WebODF repository to your Debian server using git command.

git clone https://github.com/kogmbh/WebODF.git

Step 2: Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate to the WebODF directory using the cd command.

cd WebODF

Next, install the dependencies for the project using the following command.

npm install

Step 3: Build WebODF

Once the dependencies have been installed, you can build WebODF using the following command.

npm run build

Step 4: Configure Apache or Nginx

After building WebODF, you need to configure Apache or Nginx to serve the application. Here is a quick guide on setting up both servers.

Apache Configuration

If you are using Apache, create a VirtualHost configuration file with the following content.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/WebODF

    <Directory /path/to/WebODF>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name, and /path/to/WebODF with the path to the cloned repository.

Save and exit the file. Restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

systemctl restart apache

Nginx Configuration

If you are using Nginx, create a configuration file with the following content.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    root /path/to/WebODF;
    index index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name, and /path/to/WebODF with the path to the cloned repository.

Save and exit the file. Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect.

systemctl restart nginx

Step 5: Access WebODF

Finally, you can access WebODF at http://example.com where example.com is your domain name.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WebODF 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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
