Gollum is a simple and effective wiki system that is powered by a Git backend. It allows users to create and manage wikis online or offline, without the need for a dedicated server or complex installation. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Gollum on OpenSUSE Latest.
To ensure that we have the latest packages available, we need to update the package manager by running the following command in the terminal:
zypper update
Gollum is a Ruby-based application, so we need to have Ruby installed on the system. To do this, we can run the following command:
zypper install ruby
We can download and install Gollum using the Git command line. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/gollum/gollum.git
This will clone the Gollum repository to the current directory.
Next, we need to navigate to the Gollum directory:
cd gollum
And then, we can install the required dependencies:
gem install gollum
We can now test our installation by running the following command:
gollum path-to-your-wiki-repository
This will start the Gollum server and allow you to access the Gollum interface via the web browser at http://localhost:4567.
To stop the Gollum server, press Ctrl + C on the terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gollum on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now create and manage wikis using Gollum through a web browser or locally on your system. Happy editing!
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!
