Hiawatha is a lightweight and secure web server designed for hosting websites. It is known for its easy-to-use configuration and strong focus on security. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Hiawatha on POP! OS.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
First, you will need to add the Hiawatha repository to your system. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
$ sudo echo 'deb http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/deb stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hiawatha.list
Next, you will need to import the Hiawatha repository GPG key to your system. This is necessary to authenticate packages from the Hiawatha repository. Execute the following command to import the key:
$ wget http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/hiawatha.gpg.key
$ sudo apt-key add hiawatha.gpg.key
Once you have added the Hiawatha repository and imported the GPG key, you can install Hiawatha using the following command:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install hiawatha
After installation is complete, you can verify that Hiawatha is running by executing the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status hiawatha
If Hiawatha is not running, you can start it using the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start hiawatha
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install Hiawatha on POP! OS. You can now configure Hiawatha to host websites on your POP! OS system.
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!
