Hiawatha is a lightweight, secure, and high-performance web server. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Hiawatha on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have:
First, you need to install the necessary dependencies for Hiawatha to run. Open up a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S openssl pcre zlib
The Hiawatha web server is not included in the default repositories of Void Linux. To install Hiawatha, you need to add the Hiawatha repository to your system. To do this, you can use the following command:
sudo echo htt://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/hiawatha/channels/repo/void/hiawatha.repo > /etc/xbps.d/hiawatha.repo
After adding the Hiawatha repository, you can now install Hiawatha using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S hiawatha
To configure Hiawatha, you need to create a configuration file in the /etc/hiawatha directory. For example, you can create a simple configuration file using the following command:
sudo touch /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
sudo chmod 644 /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
Then, add the following lines to the file:
Binding {
Port = 80
MaxRequestSize = 16384
}
WebsiteRoot = /var/www/hiawatha
StartFile = index.html
Save and close the configuration file.
Finally, start the Hiawatha web server using the following command:
sudo hiawatha
That's it! You have successfully installed Hiawatha on Void Linux. You can now use the Hiawatha web server to host your websites and applications. Don't forget to configure your firewall and update your system regularly to ensure the security of your server.
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!
