DocPHT is an open-source, lightweight, and easy-to-use documentation platform that can be installed on various operating systems, including Fedora CoreOS. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install DocPHT on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Before diving into the installation process, please make sure to meet the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update the system packages to ensure that we have the latest packages and dependencies. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Next, we need to install some required dependencies to ensure DocPHT works correctly. Run the following command to install Apache, SQLite, and PHP:
sudo dnf install -y httpd sqlite php-fpm php-mysqli php-pdo sqlite-devel php-dom php-intl php-json php-mbstring php-opcache php-xml php-zip
Once the required dependencies are installed, we can proceed with cloning the DocPHT repository from GitHub. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/lingtalfi/docpht.git
This command will download the DocPHT repository into the current working directory.
After cloning the repository, we need to move the DocPHT files to the Apache root directory (/var/www/html). To do this, run the following command:
sudo mv docpht/* /var/www/html/
This command moves all the DocPHT files to the Apache root directory.
Next, we need to set the ownership and permissions of the DocPHT files. To do this, run the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
This command sets the ownership of the Apache root directory to the Apache user and group. Additionally, run the following command:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html
This command sets the permissions of the Apache root directory to allow for read, write, and execute access for the owner and read and execute access for everyone else.
To access DocPHT through a web browser, we need to create a virtual host configuration file for Apache. To create the virtual host configuration file, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/docpht.conf
This command opens the Nano text editor and creates a new file named docpht.conf in the conf.d directory.
Next, add the following lines to the docpht.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName your-fedora-coreos-ip-address
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/docpht_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/docpht_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace "admin@example.com" in the ServerAdmin line with your email address and "your-fedora-coreos-ip-address" in the ServerName line with your Fedora CoreOS instance IP address.
Once done, save and close the file.
Now that we have everything set up, it's time to enable and start the Apache and PHP-FPM services. To enable and start the services, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl restart httpd php-fpm
These commands enable and start the Apache and PHP-FPM services.
Finally, we need to check if the DocPHT installation works correctly. Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-fedora-coreos-ip-address. You should see the DocPHT welcome page. If you see it, congratulations! You have successfully installed DocPHT on Fedora CoreOS latest.
DocPHT is a fantastic tool to manage and organize your documentation. With this tutorial, you have learned how to install DocPHT on Fedora CoreOS successfully. We hope that you find this tutorial helpful and informative.
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!
