Squidex is an open-source headless CMS that helps manage content and digital assets for websites and mobile apps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Squidex on Manjaro.
Before we get started with installing Squidex, make sure the following prerequisites are met:
We will assume you have all the prescribed dependencies already installed on your system.
The first step is to clone the Squidex source code from the GitHub repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Squidex/squidex.git
This command will download the Squidex repository to your current directory.
Next, navigate into the cloned repository using the following command:
cd squidex
Now, build the Squidex Docker image using the following command:
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.build.yml build
This command will build a Docker image from the Squidex source code.
Once the Docker image is built successfully, you can run the Squidex container using the following command:
sudo docker-compose up
This will start the Squidex server on port 5000.
By default, Squidex stores its data in a PostgreSQL database. If you need to persist the data between container instances, you can mount a volume to the PostgreSQL data directory.
That's it! You now have Squidex up and running on your Manjaro system. You can now go to your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to access Squidex's CMS.
If you have any issues or questions, feel free to refer to the Squidex documentation for more information.
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!
