TYPO3 is a popular open-source content management system that allows you to create and manage your website with ease. Here is a step-by-step tutorial to help you install TYPO3 on POP! OS Latest.
Before we begin the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Visit the TYPO3 download page at https://typo3.org/download/ and download the latest version of the TYPO3 CMS. Extract the downloaded archive to the /var/www/html directory.
$ cd /var/www/html
$ sudo wget --content-disposition https://get.typo3.org/zip
$ sudo unzip typo3_src-*.zip
$ sudo mv typo3_src-* typo3_src
TYPO3 requires a database to store its data. Let's create a new MySQL database for TYPO3.
$ mysql -u root -p
You will be prompted to enter the MySQL root password. Once you’re in the MySQL prompt, create a new database and user. Replace the database name typo3db, username typo3user and password mypassword with your own.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE typo3db CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
mysql> CREATE USER 'typo3user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3db.* TO 'typo3user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Next, let's configure Apache to serve TYPO3 CMS. First, create a virtual host configuration file for TYPO3.
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/typo3.conf
Add the following content to the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/typo3_src/
<Directory /var/www/html/typo3_src/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace your_domain.com with your own domain name or IP address.
Enable the virtual host and restart Apache.
$ sudo a2ensite typo3.conf
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com/typo3/install.php. Follow the on-screen instructions to install TYPO3. During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the MySQL database credentials (database name, username, and password) created previously.
Once the installation is complete, you will be redirected to the TYPO3 login page. Log in with the admin username and password you set during the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TYPO3 CMS on POP! OS Latest. You can now start creating and managing your website.
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!
