Cherokee is a lightweight and high-performance web server that can be installed on Void Linux. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Cherokee on Void Linux.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system has the following prerequisites:
The first step is to ensure that the Void Linux system is updated to the latest version. Run the following command to update packages from the repositories:
sudo xbps-install -S && sudo xbps-install -u
Once the system is updated, you can proceed to install Cherokee on your Void Linux system. Run the following command to install Cherokee:
sudo xbps-install cherokee
This will install the Cherokee web server and all related dependencies on your system.
After the installation, you can configure Cherokee to meet your specific needs. The configuration files for Cherokee are located in the /etc/cherokee directory. You can edit these files to change the default settings and options. You can also use the Cherokee Web Interface, which is available at http://localhost:9090, to configure Cherokee in a graphical environment.
Once you have configured Cherokee, you can start the web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start cherokee
This will start the Cherokee web server and make it available on your system.
If you want Cherokee to start automatically at boot time, you can use the following command:
sudo systemctl enable cherokee
After following these steps, you should have Cherokee installed and running on your Void Linux system. You can now use Cherokee to serve your website or web applications. Remember to keep your system updated with the latest security patches to ensure the stability and security of your web server.
