Dokuwiki is a free and open-source wiki software that is designed to be easy to install and use. Void Linux is an independent Linux distribution that is known for its simplicity and speed. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Dokuwiki on Void Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The first thing that we need to do is to install the required dependencies for Dokuwiki. Open the terminal and run the following command as root:
xbps-install -Sy apache php php-apache curl
The command will install the Apache web server, PHP, PHP-Apache module, and cURL package.
Next, we need to download and extract the Dokuwiki tarball from the official website. Run the following command in the terminal:
curl -o dokuwiki.tgz https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
tar xzvf dokuwiki.tgz -C /var/www/htdocs/
The first command will download the Dokuwiki tarball and save it as dokuwiki.tgz in the current directory. The second command will extract the tarball and move it to the Apache web server's root directory /var/www/htdocs/.
Now, we need to configure the Apache web server to serve Dokuwiki. Open the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor and add the following lines at the end:
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/dokuwiki>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
The above lines define the options for the dokuwiki directory in the Apache web server.
Finally, we can test our Dokuwiki installation by accessing it in a web browser. Open your favorite web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:
http://localhost/dokuwiki/doku.php
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the Dokuwiki homepage. Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dokuwiki on Void Linux.
