Gollum is a simple wiki software that can be easily installed on Fedora CoreOS. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Gollum on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Firstly, open a terminal window and ensure that your system's package repositories are up to date by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Next, install the required packages:
sudo dnf install -y ruby ruby-devel rubygems
After the necessary packages have been installed, use RubyGems to install Gollum:
sudo gem install gollum
Create a new directory to store your Gollum wiki:
sudo mkdir /var/gollum
Within this new directory, create a new file named config.ru, which will contain the configuration information for your Gollum instance:
sudo nano /var/gollum/config.ru
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
require 'gollum/app'
wiki_options = {
:live_preview => true,
:allow_uploads => true,
:per_page_uploads => true,
:css => true,
:js => true
}
PreciousMetal::App.set(:gollum_path, "/var/gollum/wiki.git")
PreciousMetal::App.set(:wikiconfig, wiki_options)
run PreciousMetal::App
Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.
Next, navigate to /var/gollum and initialize an empty Git repository:
cd /var/gollum
sudo git init wiki.git
You can now start the Gollum server by running the following command:
cd /var/gollum
sudo gollum --port 80 --adapter rackup
You should now be able to access your Gollum wiki by navigating to your machine's IP address or hostname in a web browser:
http://IP_OR_HOSTNAME
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Gollum on Fedora CoreOS Latest. With Gollum, you can now create and edit wikis with ease.
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!
