In this tutorial, we will cover the steps to install Wagtail on Fedora Server. Wagtail is a Content Management System built on top of Django. It is designed to be easy to use for web developers and content editors.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
python3 --version
If Python 3 is not installed, you can install it from the Fedora repository by running the following command:
sudo dnf install python3
Now that we have the prerequisites, we can start with the installation process.
Before we start with the installation, let's create a virtual environment to isolate the Python packages. Run the following command to create a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv wagtail_env
This will create a new directory named wagtail_env in the current directory, which contains the virtual environment.
Next, activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source wagtail_env/bin/activate
We can now install Wagtail using pip, which is the package installer for Python. Run the following command to install Wagtail:
pip3 install wagtail
This will install Wagtail and all its dependencies.
Now that Wagtail is installed, we can create a new project. Run the following command to create a new Wagtail project named myproject:
wagtail start myproject
This will create a new directory named myproject in the current directory, which contains the project files.
We can now start the development server to test our new project. Run the following command to start the development server:
cd myproject
./manage.py runserver
This will start the development server on port 8000. You can now access the web application by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we covered the steps to install Wagtail on Fedora Server. We created a virtual environment, installed Wagtail, created a new project, and started the development server. You can now use Wagtail to 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!
