Apaxy is a simple web server theme for Apache that provides a clean and responsive look to your web directories. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Apaxy on the latest version of POP! OS using the command line.
To install Apaxy on POP! OS, you must have root or sudo privileges. If you don't have these privileges, please contact your system administrator.
Before installing Apaxy, you must have Apache web server installed on your system. If you already have Apache installed, skip to the next step. Otherwise, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Download the latest version of Apaxy from its official website. You can use the following command to download Apaxy to your home directory.
cd ~
wget https://github.com/oupala/apaxy/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
After downloading Apaxy, extract it to the default directory for Apache web server themes using the following command.
sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/html/
To enable the Apaxy theme, you need to edit the Apache configuration file by running the following command.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Add the following lines before the </VirtualHost> tag.
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/apaxy-master">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/apaxy-master
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, Y, and Enter.
After making changes to the Apache configuration file, you need to restart Apache to apply those changes. You can do this by running the following command.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/. You should see the Apaxy theme applied to your web directories.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apaxy on POP! OS. You can now customize the theme to your liking by editing the apaxy-master/htaccess file.
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!
