How to Install Appwrite on Manjaro

Appwrite is an open-source Backend as a Service (BaaS) platform that helps developers build web and mobile applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Appwrite on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1 – Updating System

To ensure that your system is up-to-date, run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2 – Installing Docker

You need to install Docker on your Manjaro system. You can do that by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S docker

Step 3 – Starting Docker

Start the Docker service and enable it to start at system boot by executing the following command:

sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker.service

Step 4 – Installing Appwrite

Run the following command to download the Appwrite Docker image from Docker Hub:

sudo docker pull appwrite/appwrite

Step 5 – Running Appwrite

After the Appwrite image is downloaded, you can start the Appwrite container by running the following command:

sudo docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 appwrite/appwrite

This command exposes ports 80 and 443 on the host so that you can access Appwrite's web interface.

Step 6 – Accessing Appwrite

After the container is up and running, you can access the Appwrite web interface at http://localhost.

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!
