WonderCMS is a lightweight CMS (Content Management System) that allows you to create and manage websites. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install WonderCMS on Fedora CoreOS latest version.
Before proceeding with the installation of WonderCMS, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
To install WonderCMS, you first need to connect to the server. You can do this by using an SSH client, such as PuTTY.
ssh <username>@<server_ip_address>
Replace <username> with your username and <server_ip_address> with the server's IP address.
Before installing WonderCMS, you need to install a few required packages on your Fedora CoreOS server. These packages are necessary for the proper functioning of WonderCMS.
Run the following command in the terminal to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd
After installing the required packages, you need to start and enable the services.
Run the following command to start the Apache HTTP server and the MariaDB database server:
sudo systemctl start httpd mariadb
Then, run the following command to enable the services so that they start automatically every time the server boots up:
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
Next, you need to download and extract WonderCMS on your Fedora CoreOS server.
Run the following command to download the latest version of WonderCMS:
wget https://github.com/robiso/wondercms/releases/latest/download/WonderCMS-3.1.7.zip
After the download is complete, run the following command to extract the WonderCMS zip file:
unzip WonderCMS-3.1.7.zip
Now that you have downloaded and extracted WonderCMS, it's time to configure the Apache HTTP server.
Run the following command to create a new virtual host configuration file for WonderCMS:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/wondercms.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/WonderCMS"
ServerName your_domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/wondercms-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/wondercms-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
Replace your_domain.com with your domain name or server's IP address.
After adding the configuration, save and close the file.
To use WonderCMS, you need to create a new database for it.
Run the following command to log in to the MariaDB database server:
sudo mysql -u root
After logging in, run the following command to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE wondercms;
Then, create a new user and grant all privileges to the user on the newly created database.
CREATE USER 'wondercms_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wondercms.* TO 'wondercms_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with a strong password for your user.
After creating the database and user, exit the MySQL shell by running the following command:
exit
Finally, it's time to install WonderCMS.
Copy the extracted WonderCMS files to the Apache document root directory by running the following command:
sudo cp -R WonderCMS/. /var/www/html/WonderCMS/
Then, run the following command to change the ownership of the WonderCMS files to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/WonderCMS/
Next, navigate to your WonderCMS installation in your web browser. If you're using a domain name, enter http://your_domain.com in your web browser. If you're using the IP address of your server, enter http://server_ip_address in your web browser.
You should see the WonderCMS installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on Fedora CoreOS latest version. You can use WonderCMS to create and manage your website easily.
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!
