EveryDocs is an open-source document management system that allows users to organize and manage files and documents in a more efficient manner. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of EveryDocs on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin the installation, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before installing EveryDocs, we need to install some required dependencies. Open the terminal and enter the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python3 python3-pip nginx
The above command will install git, python3, python3-pip, and nginx on your system.
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed with cloning the EveryDocs repository from GitHub. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jonashellmann/everydocs-core
This will clone the EveryDocs repository to your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the cloned directory using the following command:
cd everydocs-core/
Now, install the required packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now, we will deploy EveryDocs using the script that comes bundled with the repository:
./run-uwsgi.sh
The above command will start the uWSGI server for EveryDocs on port 8000.
Since uWSGI is not designed to be accessed directly, we need to use Nginx as a reverse proxy. For this, we need to configure an Nginx server block. Open your text editor of choice and create the following configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/everydocs
In the editor, paste the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8000;
}
}
Save and exit the editor.
Now, create a symbolic link from the newly created configuration file to the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/everydocs /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Finally, restart the Nginx service:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
The above command will start Nginx with the new configuration.
To verify that EveryDocs is installed and running correctly, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. You should see the EveryDocs welcome page.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed EveryDocs on MXLinux Latest. You can now customize EveryDocs to suit your requirements and benefit from its powerful document management capabilities.
