DokuWiki is a free and open-source wiki software that allows users to create and publish web-based documentation. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing DokuWiki on NetBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have:
DokuWiki requires PHP to run. To install PHP, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add php
DokuWiki also requires a web server to serve its pages. Apache is one of the most widely used web servers. To install Apache, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add apache
Download the latest stable release of DokuWiki from the official website:
$ sudo fetch https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
Extract the downloaded archive:
$ sudo tar zxvf dokuwiki-stable.tgz -C /var/www/
Ensure that the directory permissions are set correctly:
$ sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/dokuwiki-*
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for DokuWiki:
$ sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/conf.d/dokuwiki.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/dokuwiki-<version>"
DirectoryIndex doku.php
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace your_domain.com with your domain name and <version> with the version of DokuWiki that you've installed.
Save and exit the file.
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/apache restart
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com. You should see the DokuWiki installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your DokuWiki installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DokuWiki 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!
