Pagekit is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows you to create and manage websites easily. Void Linux is a free, independent, and rolling distribution that focuses on simplicity and minimalism. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Pagekit on Void Linux.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the system by running the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
sudo xbps-install -y void-repo-nonfree
sudo xbps-install -y void-repo-multilib
sudo xbps-install -y void-repo-multilib-nonfree
sudo xbps-install -y void-repo-updates
rsync -va rsync://rsync.voidlinux.org/current/nonfree /var/cache/xbps/
sudo xbps-install -Suv
Next, you need to install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y nginx php php-fpm php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-mysql
After installing the required packages, you need to configure Nginx to work with PHP. First, create a new server block in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/pagekit.conf
Copy the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com; # Change this to your domain name
root /var/www/pagekit;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Save and exit the file. Then, remove the default server block by running the following command:
sudo rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Next, create the /var/www/pagekit/ directory by running the following command:
sudo mkdir /var/www/pagekit/
Change the ownership of the directory to the www-data user and group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pagekit/
The next step is to download and install Pagekit. First, create a new directory for Pagekit by running the following command:
sudo mkdir /var/www/pagekit/pagekit
Change the ownership of the directory to the www-data user and group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pagekit/pagekit
Download the latest version of Pagekit by running the following command:
sudo su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c 'cd /var/www/pagekit/pagekit && curl -s https://pagekit.com/api/download/latest -L -o pagekit.zip'
Unzip the downloaded file:
sudo su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c 'cd /var/www/pagekit/pagekit && unzip pagekit.zip'
Remove the downloaded zip file:
sudo rm /var/www/pagekit/pagekit/pagekit.zip
Change the ownership of the Pagekit directory to the www-data user and group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pagekit/pagekit
Finally, you need to configure Pagekit. First, rename the .env.example file to .env:
sudo mv /var/www/pagekit/pagekit/.env.example /var/www/pagekit/pagekit/.env
Edit the .env file by running the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/pagekit/pagekit/.env
Change the following lines:
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=http://your-domain.com # Change this to your domain name
Save and exit the file.
The final step is to start the Nginx and PHP-FPM services:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
