Wagtail is a content management system (CMS) built on top of the Django web framework. It is a popular choice for building websites and web applications, thanks to its flexibility, rich content editing interface, and ability to integrate with other systems.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Wagtail on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Wagtail is designed to run in a containerized environment. Therefore we need to set up a Docker environment on our machine. We will use the official Docker package from the Fedora CoreOS Latest repository.
To install Docker, run:
sudo dnf install docker
To start the Docker service and make sure it starts automatically on boot, run:
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
We will use Docker Compose to create a Wagtail installation. Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It uses a YAML file to define the services that make up your application.
Create a new project directory and navigate to it:
mkdir wagtail
cd wagtail
Create a new file called docker-compose.yml and open it in your favorite text editor:
nano docker-compose.yml
Paste the following code into the file:
version: '3'
services:
web:
image: wagtaildemo/wagtail:latest
volumes:
- .:/app
- wagtail-static:/app/static
ports:
- "8000:8000"
command: /start.sh
postgres:
image: postgresql:9.6-alpine
volumes:
- postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
volumes:
wagtail-static:
postgres-data:
This file defines two services. The web service runs Wagtail and exposes port 8000. The postgres service runs a PostgreSQL database.
Save and close the file.
Next, start the Wagtail installation using Docker Compose:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary Docker images, create the containers, and start running them in the background.
Now that Wagtail is running, you can access it by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser. If you're running Fedora CoreOS Latest on a remote server, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your server.
You will see the Wagtail welcome screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your admin account and set up your site.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wagtail on Fedora CoreOS Latest using Docker Compose. Wagtail is a powerful content management system that can be customized and extended to fit your needs. We hope this tutorial was helpful and got you started with Wagtail.
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!
