Minimalist Online Markdown Editor is a lightweight, online markdown editor that allows you to easily create, edit and preview markdown files. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install it on FreeBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to download the Minimalist Online Markdown Editor from its official Github repository. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/mrpiou/mome.git
Once the download is complete, navigate to the downloaded directory:
$ cd mome
Minimalist Online Markdown Editor is built on top of the Laravel framework; therefore, we need to install its dependencies using Composer. To install them, run the following command in the terminal:
$ composer install --no-dev
In this step, we need to configure the application by creating the environment file and setting the database credentials. To do so, copy the .env.example file to .env using the following command:
$ cp .env.example .env
Next, edit the .env file and update the following database credentials based on your setup:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
Note: Replace the values with your own.
Once the configuration is complete, it's time to run the migrations to create the database tables. To do so, run the following command:
$ php artisan migrate
To run Minimalist Online Markdown Editor on your web server, we need to create an Apache virtual host. To do so, create a new virtual host configuration file as follows:
$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/mome.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain
DocumentRoot /path/to/mome/public
<Directory /path/to/mome/public>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace your_domain with your domain name, and update the DocumentRoot and <Directory> directives as per your setup.
Once done, save and exit the file. Then, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
$ sudo service apache24 restart
Finally, we can access Minimalist Online Markdown Editor by visiting the following URL in any web browser:
http://your_domain
You should now see the editor's login page. Use the default login credentials (username: admin, password: admin123) to log in and begin using the editor.
That's it! You've successfully installed Minimalist Online Markdown Editor on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use it to create, edit, and preview markdown files online.
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!
