DokuWiki is a free and open source wiki software that allows a user to create and manage their own wiki site. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Dokuwiki on MXLinux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation process of DokuWiki, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first and foremost step in installing DokuWiki is to update the system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update
This command will update your system's package manager.
DokuWiki requires a web server to function. Apache is a popular web server that is powerful and flexible. Run the following command to install Apache:
sudo apt install apache2
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
Verify if the Apache service is running using the following command:
sudo systemctl status apache2
DokuWiki is built using PHP, so we need to install it on MXLinux. Run the following command to install PHP:
sudo apt install php php-cli php-mbstring php-gd php-xml php-zip
Once the installation is completed, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Navigate to the official website of DokuWiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/DokuWiki) and download the latest stable release of DokuWiki by clicking on the "Download" button. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version of DokuWiki:
wget https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
tar xzf dokuwiki-stable.tgz
Now, copy the extracted DokuWiki directory to the Apache webroot:
sudo cp -r dokuwiki-*/ /var/www/html/dokuwiki
Change the ownership of the DokuWiki directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dokuwiki
Open your favorite web browser and type the IP address or domain name of your MXLinux system in the address bar followed by /dokuwiki. For example, http://your_server_ip/dokuwiki. You should see the DokuWiki installation page where you can configure the settings according to your needs.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DokuWiki on MXLinux Latest. You can now start creating your own wiki site and manage your content with ease.
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!
