Docspell is an open-source document management system that allows users to organize, categorize, and search for documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Docspell on a Void Linux system.
Before we begin with the installation process, ensure that your Void Linux system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo xbps-install -Su
You will also need to have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 or higher installed on your system. You can install it by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk8
Begin by downloading the Docspell release package from the official Docspell website at https://docspell.org/download.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package to a directory of your choice using the following command:
tar xf docspell-*.tar.gz
Next, navigate into the extracted Docspell directory using the following command:
cd docspell-*
Run the following command to start the Docspell installation process:
./install.sh
The installation script will prompt you to accept the license agreement and to specify the installation directory.
After accepting the license agreement and specifying the installation directory, the installation script will start installing the Docspell components.
Once the installation is complete, start the Docspell service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start docspell
To enable the Docspell service to start automatically on system boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable docspell
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Docspell on your Void Linux system.
To access Docspell, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/docspell. You will be prompted to create a new user account to log in to Docspell.
