CouchCMS is an open-source content management system that allows users to create and manage websites easily. It is a lightweight PHP-powered CMS that can be installed on various operating systems, including MXLinux.
This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of CouchCMS on MXLinux. Here's how to go about it:
Before we begin, make sure that:
Visit the official website of CouchCMS at https://www.couchcms.com/download/. Select the Linux version of CouchCMS to download.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download it from the terminal:
wget https://www.couchcms.com/downloads/latest/couchcms-latest.zip
CouchCMS requires a web server to run, and Apache is one of the most popular open-source web servers. So, let's start by installing Apache web server.
Run the following command in the terminal to install Apache web server:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Once installed, start the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
CouchCMS also requires PHP to run. Install PHP on your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php
Once installed, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Extract CouchCMS to your desired directory using the following command:
unzip couchcms-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
Set the appropriate permissions to the CouchCMS directory using the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/couch
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/couch
Assuming everything went smoothly, you can now access CouchCMS from your web browser by visiting:
http://<your-server's-IP-address>/couch
That's it! You've successfully installed CouchCMS on MXLinux. You can now start creating and managing your website content with CouchCMS.
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!
