XWiki is a powerful open-source collaboration platform that can be used to build wikis, knowledge bases, and documentation spaces. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install XWiki on Fedora Server.
The first thing you should do is update your Fedora Server to ensure that you have the latest security patches and software updates. To do this, open the Terminal and enter:
sudo dnf update
Enter your root password, if prompted.
XWiki requires Java to run. To install Java, enter the following command in the Terminal:
sudo dnf install java-openjdk
Next, you need to download the XWiki package from the official website. To do this, open your web browser and go to https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download. Download the latest stable version of XWiki by clicking on the "ZIP Distribution" link.
Once the download is complete, extract the archive to a convenient location. In the Terminal, navigate to the directory where you extracted the package, using the cd command.
To install and configure XWiki, run the setup wizard by executing the following command in the Terminal:
sudo sh ./xwiki-enterprise-linux-x64.sh install
The setup wizard will guide you through the installation process, prompting you to choose your installation directory, database type, and administrator credentials.
Once the setup is complete, start XWiki by running the following command in the Terminal:
sudo systemctl start xwiki.service
You can now access XWiki by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XWiki on your Fedora Server. Now you can use it to create and collaborate on wiki pages, documentation, and knowledge bases.
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!
