In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Umbraco, an open-source content management system, on a Fedora server. This tutorial assumes you have a Fedora server set up and have root access.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to create a database and user for Umbraco to use. Log in to your MariaDB or MySQL server with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE umbraco;
Then, create a new user and grant them access to the database with the following commands:
CREATE USER 'umbraco_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON umbraco.* TO 'umbraco_user'@'localhost';
Make sure to replace your_password_here with a strong password.
Next, we need to install some required PHP extensions. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo dnf install php-json php-xml php-mbstring php-gd php-zip
Now, we can download and install Umbraco. Create a new directory for Umbraco with the following command:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/umbraco
Navigate to the new directory with the following command:
cd /var/www/html/umbraco
Then, download and install Umbraco with the following command:
sudo composer create-project umbraco/umbraco-cms . --prefer-source
To access Umbraco, we need to configure Apache. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/umbraco.conf
Enter the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/umbraco
<Directory /var/www/html/umbraco>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/umbraco_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/umbraco_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.
Save and close the file.
Then, restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, we can complete the Umbraco installation. Open your web browser and visit http://yourdomain.com/umbraco.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Umbraco on a Fedora server. You can now use Umbraco to create and manage your website's content.
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!
