How to install Wiki.js on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wiki.js on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Clone Wiki.js repository

First, we need to clone the Wiki.js repository by running the following command in your terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/Requarks/wiki.git

After cloning the repository, change to the wiki directory:

$ cd wiki

Step 2: Configure Wiki.js

Next, we need to configure Wiki.js. Copy the config.sample.yml file to config.yml using the following command:

$ cp config.sample.yml config.yml

Open the config.yml file using your favorite text editor:

$ nano config.yml

Set the url value to the URL you want to use to access your Wiki.js instance. For example:

url: "https://wiki.example.com"

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Start Wiki.js

We will use Docker Compose to start Wiki.js. Run the following command to start the Wiki.js container:

$ docker-compose up -d

The -d flag is used to run the container in detached mode.

Wait a few seconds for Docker Compose to start the container. You can check the status by running:

$ docker-compose ps

Once the container is up and running, you can access Wiki.js by opening your web browser and navigating to the URL you configured in the config.yml file.

Step 4: Log in and create a new user

When you first access Wiki.js, you will be prompted to create a new user. Follow the prompts to create a new user and log in.
