DocPHT is a lightweight documentation platform that is easy to use and highly customizable. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DocPHT on OpenBSD.
Before we start, please make sure that you have the following:
DocPHT requires Apache, PHP, and SQLite to be installed on your OpenBSD system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add apache php sqlite3
This will install the latest version of Apache, PHP, and SQLite on your OpenBSD server.
Go to the official DocPHT website (https://docpht.org/) and download the latest version of DocPHT. You can either download the ZIP file or the tar.gz file.
After the download completes, extract the DocPHT archive to the Apache web server's document root directory, which is usually located in /var/www/htdocs/:
sudo unzip docpht.zip -d /var/www/htdocs/
Change the ownership of the DocPHT directory to Apache's user and group:
sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/docpht
Create a new virtual host for DocPHT by creating a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/modules.d/docpht.conf
Add the following lines to the newly created file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/docpht/
ServerName your_domain.com
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/docpht/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace your_domain.com with your server's domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file.
After making the configuration changes, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo rcctl restart httpd
Go to your server's domain name or IP address in a web browser. DocPHT's installation wizard will appear. Follow the wizard's prompts to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DocPHT on OpenBSD.
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!
