Sure, here's a tutorial for installing Hubzilla on Void Linux in markdown format:
Hubzilla is a free and open-source platform for creating and joining decentralized social networks. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Hubzilla on Void Linux.
Before installing Hubzilla, we need to make sure all the necessary dependencies are installed. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S php php-fpm php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-dom php-xml php-zip php-gd php-ldap php-mbstring nginx mariadb
This command installs the required packages for Hubzilla, including PHP, Nginx, and MariaDB.
Next, we need to configure Nginx. Open the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf using your preferred text editor and add the following server block at the end of the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/hubzilla;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Replace example.com with your own domain name or IP address. Save and close the file.
Now we're ready to install Hubzilla. Download the latest version of Hubzilla from the official website https://hubzilla.org and extract it to the web server root directory /var/www/hubzilla:
wget https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/-/archive/master/core-master.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf core-master.tar.gz -C /var/www/
sudo mv /var/www/core-master /var/www/hubzilla
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/hubzilla
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/hubzilla
Replace core-master.tar.gz with the latest version of Hubzilla available on the official website.
The next step is to configure MariaDB. Log in to MariaDB as the root user and create a new database and user for Hubzilla:
sudo mysql -u root -p
MariaDB> CREATE DATABASE hubzilla;
MariaDB> CREATE USER 'hubzilla'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hubzilla.* TO 'hubzilla'@'localhost';
MariaDB> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB> EXIT;
Replace password with a strong password for the new user.
Finally, we need to configure Hubzilla. Open the Hubzilla configuration file /var/www/hubzilla/.htconfig.php using your preferred text editor and update the following values:
...
'app_secret' => 'your_secret_here',
...
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'hubzilla';
$db_user = 'hubzilla';
$db_pass = 'password';
...
Replace your_secret_here with a secret key of your choice. Replace password with the password you set for the new MariaDB user.
We're almost done. Start the Nginx and PHP-FPM services:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
Open your web browser and navigate to http://example.com. You should see the Hubzilla welcome screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed Hubzilla on Void Linux!
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!
