CouchCMS is a popular content management system that allows you to create dynamic and flexible websites with ease. If you are looking to install CouchCMS on NetBSD, this guide will walk you through the entire process step by step.
To install CouchCMS on NetBSD, you will need the following software installed on your system:
Before starting the installation, you need to make sure that all the required software is installed on your NetBSD system. To install the required packages, you can use the pkgin command, which is a package manager for NetBSD.
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install apache php74-mysqli php74-curl php74-gd mysql-client
Once you have installed the required software, you can proceed to download the CouchCMS package from their official website. You can download the latest version from this link.
wget https://www.couchcms.com/downloads/cms_latest.zip
unzip cms_latest.zip
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve the CouchCMS files. To do this, you will need to create a new virtual host configuration file. You can create a new virtual host configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/couchcms.conf
Then, paste the below configuration into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/couchcms
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory /path/to/couchcms>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com in the above configuration with your domain name and /path/to/couchcms with the absolute path to the extracted CouchCMS package.
Save and close the file.
Now that you have configured Apache, you can proceed to install CouchCMS. To install the CMS, you need to run the installation script. You can run the installation script using the following command:
php /path/to/couchcms/install/index.php
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can test the CouchCMS installation by navigating to your domain name in a web browser:
http://example.com/
If everything is working correctly, you should see the CouchCMS welcome page.

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!
