Cowyo is an open-source, self-hosted wiki software that allows you to create and edit notes, documents, and wiki pages quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Cowyo on a Fedora server.
Before installing any software, it's a good practice to update your system to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Cowyo requires Go to be installed on your system, so we'll start by installing it. Run the following command to install Go:
sudo dnf install -y go
Next, we'll install the Git version control system to clone Cowyo's source code:
sudo dnf install -y git
Now that we have the dependencies installed, let's clone Cowyo's source code from GitHub. Run the following command to clone Cowyo:
git clone https://github.com/schollz/cowyo.git
Great, we have Cowyo's source code on our system. Next, navigate to the cowyo directory using the following command:
cd cowyo
To compile and install Cowyo, run the following command:
go install
We're almost there! To start Cowyo, run the following command:
cowyo
Cowyo should now be running on port 8050. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8050. You should see the Cowyo welcome page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Cowyo on your Fedora server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Cowyo on a Fedora server. Cowyo is a great tool, and we hope you find it useful for creating and editing notes, documents, and wiki pages.
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!
