Pagekit is an open-source content management system that enables you to create and manage websites with ease. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install and use Pagekit on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, make sure your OpenSUSE Latest distribution is up-to-date using the following command:
sudo zypper update
Pagekit requires a web server, PHP, and a database management system to function correctly. Let's start by installing the LAMP stack on our OpenSUSE Latest:
sudo zypper install apache2 php7 php7-mysql mysql-server
This command will install the Apache web server, PHP 7, the PHP MySQL module, and the MySQL server.
Next, we need to download the Pagekit package from their official website:
curl -LO https://pagekit.com/download/latest.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the Pagekit package to your Apache document root directory using the following command:
sudo unzip latest.zip -d /srv/www/htdocs/
This command will extract the Pagekit package to the /srv/www/htdocs/ directory.
We need to create a new virtual host for Pagekit. Modify the default Apache vhost configuration file with the following:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default-vhost.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs/pagekit"
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/pagekit">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name.
Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
We now need to create a new MySQL database and user for Pagekit:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
Once you're logged in, create a new database for Pagekit:
CREATE DATABASE pagekitdb;
Create a new user and grant them full access to the Pagekit database:
CREATE USER 'pagekituser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pagekitdb.* TO 'pagekituser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with your desired password.
Exit the MySQL shell by typing:
EXIT;
Open a web browser and navigate to your domain name. You should see the Pagekit installation wizard:
https://example.com/index.php/installer
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process. When prompted, enter the MySQL database information you created in Step 4.
Once the installation is complete, login to the Pagekit admin panel using the credentials you created during installation.
That's it! You now have a brand new Pagekit installation up and running on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start building your website using the Pagekit CMS.
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!
