GetSimple CMS is a lightweight and easy-to-use content management system. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing GetSimple CMS on OpenBSD.
Before moving forward, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to download GetSimple CMS from their official website.
$ cd /var/www/htdocs
$ ftp http://get-simple.info/extend/downloads/get-simple-stable.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the zip file:
$ unzip get-simple-stable.zip
This will create a new directory called get-simple in the htdocs directory.
Next, we need to configure the web server to serve the GetSimple CMS files. In this example, we will be using the Apache web server.
First, create a new virtual host configuration file:
$ vi /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/get-simple
ServerName example.com
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file.
Next, edit the main Apache configuration file:
$ vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following line to enable virtual hosts:
Include /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache server:
$ apachectl restart
Now that we have downloaded GetSimple CMS and configured the web server, we can run the GetSimple CMS installer.
In your web browser, navigate to http://example.com/. You should see the GetSimple CMS installer page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GetSimple CMS on OpenBSD. You can now start creating content for your website.
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!
