In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the wiki software from https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki on MXLinux Latest using the command line interface.
Before we start, please make sure that you have the following:
To install the dependencies required by the wiki software, we need to run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev libpq-dev
This will install Python3, pip3, development headers, and libraries for PostgreSQL.
After installing the dependencies, we can now install the wiki software. First, we need to clone the repository from https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki by running the following command:
git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki
This will create a 'wiki' directory in the current directory.
Next, go into the 'wiki' directory and run the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install the necessary Python libraries required to run the wiki software.
To configure the database for the wiki software, we need to create a database and a user with appropriate permissions.
Open the PostgresSQL console by running the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
Create a database and a user using the following commands:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE wiki_db;
postgres=# CREATE USER wiki_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE wiki_db TO wiki_user;
Replace 'password' with the desired password for the user 'wiki_user'.
Now, we need to configure the settings for the wiki software. Navigate to the 'config' directory inside the 'wiki' directory and open the 'settings.py' file in your favorite text editor.
In the 'DATABASES' section, change the values of 'NAME', 'USER', and 'PASSWORD' to match the values you set in the previous step.
To start the wiki software, run the following command inside the 'wiki' directory:
python3 manage.py runserver
This will start the server on http://localhost:8000. Navigate to this address in a web browser to see the wiki software.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the wiki software from https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki on MXLinux Latest.
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!
