Oddmuse is a lightweight wiki engine that allows you to create and manage a website with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Oddmuse on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Open the terminal and run the following command to update the system:
sudo dnf update
Enter your password when prompted and press Enter.
Next, you need to install Git, which is a version control system used to manage the source code of Oddmuse. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git
Press y when prompted to confirm the installation.
Once Git is installed, you can clone the Oddmuse repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kensanata/oddmuse.git
This command will download the Oddmuse files and create a folder called oddmuse in your current directory.
Oddmuse requires some dependencies to run. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo dnf install perl perl-URI perl-YAML-Tiny perl-Algorithm-Diff perl-HTML-Entities perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple perl-CPAN perl-Test-Pod
Press y to confirm the installation.
Oddmuse runs on a web server, so you need to configure your web server to run the Oddmuse application. In this tutorial, we'll use Apache as our web server.
Install Apache by running the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd
Press y to confirm the installation.
Next, start the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
To make sure that Apache starts automatically upon system boot, run this command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
Navigate to the oddmuse directory that you cloned in Step 3:
cd ./oddmuse
Copy the config-example.pl file to a new file called config.pl:
cp config-example.pl config.pl
Edit the config.pl file:
nano config.pl
In the config.pl file, set the usemod_rewrite variable to 1:
$UseModRewrite = 1;
Save and close the file.
Navigate to the Apache web directory:
cd /var/www/html
Copy the oddmuse directory to this web directory:
sudo cp -r ~/oddmuse /var/www/html
Navigate to the oddmuse directory:
cd /var/www/html/oddmuse
Create a new file called .htaccess:
nano .htaccess
Add the following content to the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wiki.pl [L,QSA]
Save and close the file.
You have now successfully installed Oddmuse on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Visit your server's IP address in your web browser to see your newly installed wiki.
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!
