Instiki is a lightweight wiki software that runs as a single Ruby script. It is perfect for personal use or small teams. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Instiki on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to update the system to make sure we have the latest packages.
sudo dnf update -y
Instiki requires Ruby, Rubygems and Bundler. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install ruby rubygems ruby-devel make gcc gcc-c++ -y
sudo gem install bundler
Download the latest version of Instiki from the official website at https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/wiki/instiki/show/HomePage. Unzip the file and go to the extracted directory:
wget https://github.com/parasew/instiki/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd instiki-master
Next, set up Instiki using the following command:
bundle install
We can now start Instiki by running the following command:
./instiki.sh
By default, Instiki will run on port 2500. Visit http://localhost:2500 in your web browser to access the wiki site.
Instiki stores its settings in the config.yml file. To change the default settings, copy the config.yml file to a new directory:
cp config.yml config.yml.sample
Then edit the file using your favorite text editor:
nano config.yml.sample
Save the file and then run Instiki with the new configuration:
./instiki.sh -c config.yml.sample
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Instiki on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using Instiki to create and collaborate on wikis.
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!
