DocPHT is an open-source flat-file and web-based documentation browser that helps you keep your documents organized, searchable, and accessible. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install DocPHT on NetBSD.
First, download the latest version of DocPHT from the official website using the following command:
$ wget https://docpht.org/download.php
Alternatively, you can also download the zip file and extract it using the following command:
$ unzip DocPHT-x.x.x.zip
Replace "x.x.x" with the current version number.
Next, move the DocPHT folder to your Apache or Nginx web server's document root directory using the following command:
$ sudo mv DocPHT /var/www/html
If your server uses Nginx, replace "/var/www/html" with your Nginx document root directory.
To ensure that DocPHT has the correct permissions to create, modify, and delete files, you need to modify its permissions. You can do this using the following command:
$ sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/html/DocPHT
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/DocPHT
Replace "www" with the user that runs your web server.
You need to configure your web server to serve the DocPHT directory. Here is how to do this on Apache:
Open the Apache virtual host file with a text editor:
$ sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/DocPHT
</VirtualHost>
Replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name, and "/var/www/html/DocPHT" with the path to your DocPHT directory.
Save the file and restart Apache using the following command:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
For Nginx, open the Nginx server block file using a text editor:
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Add the following lines within the server block:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html/DocPHT;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name yourdomain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
}
}
Replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name, and "/var/www/html/DocPHT" with the path to your DocPHT directory.
Save the file and restart Nginx using the following command:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/nginx restart
Finally, open your preferred browser and navigate to your domain name, e.g., http://yourdomain.com/DocPHT. You will see the DocPHT web interface, where you can create, edit, and manage your documents.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DocPHT on NetBSD.
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!
