Oddmuse is a wiki engine that allows you to create and edit web pages collaboratively. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Oddmuse on MXLinux Latest.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
Oddmuse requires a web server and Perl to be installed on your machine. MXLinux Latest comes with Apache already installed, but you may need to install Perl. To install Perl, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install perl
You can download the latest version of Oddmuse from the official website at https://oddmuse.org/download.html. Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to your web root directory using the following command:
sudo tar -xzvf oddmuse-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
This command will extract the Oddmuse archive into the /var/www/html directory.
Next, you will need to configure Apache to serve Oddmuse. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the <VirtualHost> section:
Alias /oddmuse /var/www/html/oddmuse-latest
<Directory /var/www/html/oddmuse-latest>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Now that you have configured Apache for Oddmuse, you will need to restart the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
You can now access your Oddmuse wiki by navigating to http://localhost/oddmuse in your web browser. This will take you to the initial wiki configuration page where you can set up your wiki.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Oddmuse on MXLinux Latest. You can now create and edit web pages collaboratively using your new wiki. Enjoy!
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!
