Chyrp Lite is a lightweight and flexible blogging platform, which provides a user-friendly interface and a suite of powerful features. If you're interested in setting up Chyrp Lite on Fedora CoreOS, you've come to the right place. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Chyrp Lite on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
First and foremost, you need to set up a Fedora CoreOS instance to run Chyrp Lite. You can use a cloud provider such as AWS or DigitalOcean to set up a virtual machine, or you can use a local hypervisor like VirtualBox to set up a local virtual machine.
Before installing Chyrp Lite, you need to install Nginx and PHP-FPM on your Fedora CoreOS instance. To install Nginx, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nginx
To install PHP-FPM, run the following command:
sudo dnf install php-fpm
After installing Nginx and PHP-FPM, you need to configure them to work together. First, create a new configuration file for your Chyrp Lite site by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/chyrp-lite.conf
Then, paste the following configuration code into the file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/chyrp-lite;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Remember to replace 'example.com' with your own domain name. Finally, restart Nginx and PHP-FPM by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
Now it's time to download and install Chyrp Lite. First, navigate to your document root directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www
Then, download the latest version of Chyrp Lite by running the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/xenocrat/chyrplite/archive/master.zip -o chyrplite.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the files from the archive by running the following command:
sudo unzip chyrplite.zip
This will create a new directory called 'chyrplite-master'. Move the contents of this directory to your document root directory by running the following command:
sudo mv chyrplite-master/* chyrp-lite/
Finally, change the ownership of the files to the Nginx user by running the following command:
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx chyrp-lite
To store all the data for your Chyrp Lite site, you need to install and configure a database server. One of the most popular database servers for web applications is MariaDB. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server
After installing MariaDB, start the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Next, secure the installation by running the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts to set up a root password and remove any unnecessary users.
Finally, create a new database and user for your Chyrp Lite site by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE chyrplite CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'chyrpliteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chyrplite.* TO 'chyrpliteuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Remember to replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
You're almost there! To complete the Chyrp Lite installation, navigate to your Chyrp Lite site in your web browser (e.g. http://example.com). Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your site. When prompted for a database connection, enter the following information:
Database Server: localhost
Database Name: chyrplite
Username: chyrpliteuser
Password: password
Remember to replace 'password' with the password you set up in Step 5.
That's it! You've successfully installed Chyrp Lite on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Now you can start creating content and customizing your site. Enjoy!
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!
