How to Install Documize on Fedora Server Latest

Documize is a modern knowledge management platform for teams. It allows users to collaborate, create, and share documents, processes, and knowledge in a central location. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Documize on your Fedora server.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation, make sure to:

Have a Fedora Server installed and running.
Have root access to the server.
Have a domain or subdomain pointing to the server IP address.

Step 1: Update the System

Start by updating your system packages to the latest version.

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Documize requires several dependencies that need to be installed beforehand. Install the necessary packages using the following command.

sudo dnf install -y curl gnupg2 tar wget

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Documize uses the MariaDB database to store its data. Install MariaDB using the following command.

sudo dnf install -y mariadb-server

After the installation, start and enable the MariaDB service.

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Then, secure the MariaDB installation by running the script below.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Answer the questions and set a strong password for the MariaDB root user.

Step 4: Install Nginx

Nginx is a high-performance web server that will serve Documize for external requests. Install Nginx using the following command.

sudo dnf install -y nginx

Start and enable the Nginx service.

sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 5: Install Documize

Now, we will proceed with the Documize installation.

Add the Documize RPM repository

Documize provides an RPM repository for Fedora. Add the repository by running the command below.

sudo curl -s https://rpm.documize.com/documize-repo.rpm -o /etc/yum.repos.d/documize-repo.rpm

Install Documize

Install the Documize package using the following command.

sudo dnf install -y documize

Step 6: Configure Documize

After the installation, we need to configure Documize.

Create a Documize MariaDB database

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database named documize and grant all privileges to a new user named documizeuser. Replace the database name, username, and password in the command below.

CREATE DATABASE documize;
GRANT ALL ON documize.* TO 'documizeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Configure Documize

Edit the Documize configuration file using your favorite text editor. Replace yourdomain.com and documizeuserpassword with your domain and MariaDB user password.

sudo nano /etc/documize/app.cfg

[server]
domain = yourdomain.com
siteTitle = Documize
enableHttps = false
enableHttp2 = false

[database]
name = documize
user = documizeuser
password = documizeuserpassword
host = localhost

[storage]
s3AccessKeyId =
s3SecretAccessKey =
s3Region =
s3Bucket =
s3Path = /documize

[smtp]
host = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
username =
password =
from = noreply@documize.com
encryption =

Save and close the file.

Initialize Documize

Lastly, we need to initialize Documize.

sudo documize-setup init

After the initialization, start and enable the Documize service.

sudo systemctl start documize
sudo systemctl enable documize

Step 7: Configure Firewall

By default, Fedora Server comes with a firewall enabled. Allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic through the firewall using the commands below.

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Conclusion

Documize is now installed and ready for use on your Fedora server. You can access it by visiting http://yourdomain.com in your web browser. Remember to customize the Documize settings and create users as needed.
