PukiWiki is a wiki system written in PHP that enables you to create, edit, and manage websites easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PukiWiki on NetBSD.
First, we need to install the Apache web server. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg_add apache
After the installation is complete, start the Apache service using the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
Next, we need to install PHP. Run the following command:
sudo pkg_add php
Go to the official PukiWiki website and download the latest stable release: https://pukiwiki.osdn.jp
Once downloaded, extract it in the /var/www/htdocs directory using the following command:
sudo tar xzf pukiwiki-1.x.x_utf8.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs
Replace 1.x.x with the version number you have downloaded.
Open the pukiwiki.ini.php file with your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/htdocs/pukiwiki.ini.php
Edit the following variables:
$edit_auth – Set this variable to true if you want to require authentication before editing pages. Set it to false if not.$modifiername – Set this variable to the name of the user who will be listed as the creator of the pages you create.Save the file and close the editor.
Create a new file called pukiwiki.conf in the /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/modules directory using the following command:
sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/modules/pukiwiki.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
Alias /pukiwiki /var/www/htdocs/pukiwiki/
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/pukiwiki>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the file and close the editor.
Restart Apache to apply the changes using the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip-address/pukiwiki. You should see the PukiWiki homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PukiWiki on NetBSD. You can now start creating, editing, and managing your website content.
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!
