PluXml is a lightweight and easy-to-use CMS that allows you to create and manage your own website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of PluXml on Manjaro.
Before we begin the installation process, make sure that your Manjaro system has:
The first step is to download the latest version of PluXml from their official website https://pluxml.org. You can download it manually or use the wget command in the terminal to download it.
wget https://github.com/pluxml/PluXml/archive/stable.zip
After downloading, extract the downloaded file using the unzip command.
unzip stable.zip
Copy the extracted PluXml files to the document root directory of Apache server.
sudo cp -r PluXml-stable/* /var/www/html/
Now, set the appropriate permissions to the directories and files.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
Now, create a new MySQL database and user for PluXml.
sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE pluxml;
mysql> CREATE USER 'pluxmluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pluxml.* TO 'pluxmluser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Now, navigate to the installation page of PluXml by opening the web browser and accessing the URL http://localhost. You will be redirected to the PluXml installer page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure PluXml. Enter the database name, username, and password that you created in Step 3.
After completing the installation process, remove the installation directory for security reasons.
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/install/
Now you can access PluXml on your web browser at http://localhost. Login to the admin panel using the credentials you set during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PluXml on Manjaro.
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!
