In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Cowyo on Ubuntu Server Latest. Cowyo is a simple file-based CMS (content management system) written in Go, and it enables users to create and edit web pages easily.
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
First, we need to install some dependencies before installing Cowyo. Open your terminal or connect to your Ubuntu Server via SSH and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential
This will update the package list and install Git and build-essential packages used to build Cowyo.
Now, let's download the Cowyo source code from its GitHub repository. Run the following command to clone the repository to your Ubuntu Server:
git clone https://github.com/schollz/cowyo.git
This will create a new directory named cowyo in your current working directory, which includes all the files we need to run Cowyo.
After downloading the Cowyo source code, navigate to the cowyo folder and run the following command to build Cowyo:
cd cowyo
make build
This command will use the Makefile to build the Cowyo binary file from the source code. You'll see output similar to the following:
Checking prerequisites...
Building cowyo...

done!
Once the build process is complete, we can now run Cowyo. Cowyo requires a data folder to store the web page content, attachments, and other files. Let's create the data folder first:
mkdir data
Now, we can start Cowyo by running the following command:
./cowyo
This will start Cowyo on port 8050. If you want to run Cowyo on a different port, you can specify the port number using the -p flag. For example, to run Cowyo on port 8080, run the following command:
./cowyo -p 8080
Once Cowyo is running, you can access it by visiting http://your-server-ip:8050 or http://your-server-ip:8080, depending on the port you used.
After accessing Cowyo, you can create a new page by clicking the Create a new page button on the homepage. Once you create a new page, you can edit it by clicking the Edit button.
That's it! You have successfully installed and started Cowyo on your Ubuntu Server Latest.
Cowyo is a simple, file-based CMS that allows users to create and edit web pages easily. In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install and run Cowyo on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now, you can use Cowyo to manage your website content and make updates with ease.
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!
