Sure, here is a tutorial on how to install XWiki on OpenBSD:

Installing XWiki on OpenBSD

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing XWiki, it's important to make sure your system is updated. To do this, run:

sudo pkg_add -u

This will update your package manager with the latest packages.

Step 2: Install Java

XWiki requires Java to run, so the first thing you need to do is to install it. Run the following command to install Java:

sudo pkg_add openjdk8

This will install Java 8 on your system.

Step 3: Install XWiki

Now that Java is installed, you can proceed with installing XWiki. First, create a directory for XWiki to live in. You can create this directory anywhere you like, but for the purposes of this tutorial, we'll create it in the /usr/local directory. Run the following command to create the directory:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/xwiki

Next, navigate to the directory:

cd /usr/local/xwiki

Then, download the latest version of XWiki from the official website. Run the following command to download XWiki:

sudo ftp https://download.xwiki.org/xwiki-enterprise-web-13.3.zip

Once the download is complete, unzip the package using the following command:

sudo unzip xwiki-enterprise-web-13.3.zip

Step 4: Configure XWiki

Now that XWiki is installed, you need to configure it. Navigate to the directory where XWiki is installed:

cd /usr/local/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-13.3/

Create a new file called setenv.bat using the following command:

sudo vi setenv.bat

Then, add the following line to the end of the file:

export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

This will configure the JVM settings for Tomcat, which XWiki uses as its servlet container.

Next, configure XWiki's database settings. Open the file WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml in your favorite text editor:

sudo vi WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml

Locate the section that starts with <property name="hibernate.connection.url"> and replace the URL with the URL for your MySQL database. Save the file and exit the editor.

Finally, start Tomcat by running the following command:

sudo ./setup.sh

This will start Tomcat and XWiki will now be accessible on http://localhost:8080/xwiki.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed XWiki on OpenBSD. You now have a powerful and flexible wiki platform to organize and share information within your organization.

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!
