Typemill is a flat file CMS that helps to create beautiful, simple and elegant websites. It's a lightweight alternative to traditional CMS solutions like WordPress or Joomla, and it doesn't require a database. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Typemill on Kali Linux Latest.
First, update your system's package lists:
sudo apt update
Then, install Apache and PHP:
sudo apt install apache2 php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-common php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-soap php7.4-gd php7.4-xml php7.4-cli php7.4-zip php7.4-curl
Verify that Apache and PHP are installed correctly by running:
sudo systemctl status apache2
You should see an output similar to this:
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-10-24 13:52:44 EDT; 1h 30min ago
Main PID: 8197 (apache2)
Tasks: 55 (limit: 2353)
Memory: 12.9M
Go to the Typemill website and download the latest version of the software.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the software directly:
wget https://github.com/typemill/typemill/releases/download/v1.7.2/typemill.zip
Create a new directory in your webroot directory:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/typemill
Unzip the Typemill package to this directory:
sudo unzip typemill.zip -d /var/www/html/typemill
Change the ownership of the directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/typemill
Create a new virtual host file for Typemill:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/typemill.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/typemill
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/typemill>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name.
Enable the typemill.conf site:
sudo a2ensite typemill.conf
Restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://example.com (replace example.com with your domain name). You should see the Typemill installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
You have successfully installed Typemill on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use Typemill to create beautiful, simple and elegant websites without having to worry about managing a database. Happy blogging!
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!
