XWiki is an open-source wiki platform written in Java that allows you to create collaborative web applications. If you're using Fedora CoreOS, you can easily install XWiki using the following steps:
Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that your Fedora CoreOS is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh -y
sudo systemctl reboot
XWiki requires Java 8 or higher to run. If you don't have Java installed on your system, you can easily install it using the following command:
sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless -y
Next, you need to download the latest version of XWiki from the official website. You can do this by running the following command:
wget https://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war
To deploy XWiki, you need to create a directory for it in the /opt folder. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo mkdir /opt/xwiki
Next, move the XWiki WAR file to this directory using the following command:
sudo mv xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war /opt/xwiki/
Now, change your current working directory to /opt/xwiki and rename the WAR file to xwiki.war using the following commands:
cd /opt/xwiki/
sudo mv xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war xwiki.war
Next, you need to install Apache Tomcat which will be used to deploy XWiki. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf install tomcat -y
To deploy XWiki to Tomcat, you need to copy the xwiki.war file to the webapps directory of Tomcat. You can do this using the following command:
sudo cp xwiki.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/
Next, start the Tomcat service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start tomcat
You can now access XWiki by visiting http://<your-ip-address>:8080/xwiki/ in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install XWiki on Fedora CoreOS Latest by first installing Java, downloading XWiki, deploying XWiki, installing Tomcat and then deploying XWiki to Tomcat. With XWiki now running, you can start creating your own collaborative web applications.
