Oddmuse is a lightweight and flexible wiki engine that can be used to create websites, manage knowledge bases, and organize information. It is easy to install and user-friendly. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Oddmuse on Elementary OS Latest.
Before installing Oddmuse, you need to have some prerequisites in place:
First, ensure your system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, install Apache web server and other software required by Oddmuse using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 libhtml-wiki-perl libio-lockedfile-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl libdbi-perl
Next, download and extract Oddmuse using the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://oddmuse.org/download/oddmuse-latest.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf oddmuse-latest.tar.gz
sudo mv oddmuse-* oddmuse
To allow the webserver to access the Oddmuse files, we need to set the appropriate permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/oddmuse
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/oddmuse
Next, we need to create an Apache configuration file for Oddmuse. To do this, create a new Apache configuration file at /etc/apache2/sites-available/oddmuse.conf:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/oddmuse.conf
In the file, enter the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/oddmuse/
<Directory /var/www/html/oddmuse/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/oddmuse_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/oddmuse_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit the editor.
Next, enable the new configuration file and disable the default configuration file by running the following commands:
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo a2ensite oddmuse.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
At this point, Oddmuse should be installed and ready to use. You can access it by entering the server's IP address or domain name into your web browser followed by "/oddmuse" (e.g. "http://your-server-ip/oddmuse").
That's it! You have successfully installed Oddmuse on Elementary OS Latest. You can now use it to create and manage your wiki websites. If you experience any difficulties, consult the official Oddmuse documentation for further assistance.
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!
