Apostrophe is a content management system (CMS) that enables users to create and manage websites. In this tutorial, we will explore the steps you need to follow to install Apostrophe on a Fedora server.
Before installing Apostrophe, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To install Apostrophe, we need to first install Node.js, which is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment. Run the following commands on your terminal to install Node.js on Fedora Server.
sudo dnf install -y nodejs
Verify the installation by checking the installed Node.js version:
node -v
Now that Node.js is installed, we can proceed to install Apostrophe and its dependencies.
Run the following commands to install the dependencies:
mkdir my-project
cd my-project
npm init
npm install apostrophe --save
To run Apostrophe server, we need to configure it first.
Create a file named "app.js" and paste the code below into it:
// app.js
const apos = require('apostrophe')({
shortName: 'my-project',
modules: {
'@apostrophecms/page-type': {},
'@apostrophecms/rich-text-widgets': {},
'@apostrophecms/image-widgets': {},
}
});
In the code above, replace the 'my-project' parameter to match the name of your project file.
Run the following command on your terminal to create the server files:
node app.js apostrophe-users:add admin admin
This will create a user named 'admin' with the password 'admin' to log in to your Apostrophe server in your browser.
Finally, run your Apostrophe server with the command:
node app.js --port 3000
With the server running, we can now access Apostrophe at http://localhost:3000/login. Replace '3000' with a different port number if you specified a different one during setup.
Log in with the credentials created earlier, and you'll be able to use Apostrophe to create and manage your website.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apostrophe on your Fedora server.
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!
