Pepperminty Wiki is a minimalist wiki engine built on top of Markdown files. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing the Pepperminty Wiki on Void Linux.
Before we get started, you'll need the following:
First, let's ensure that all necessary dependencies are present.
Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 python3-dev python3-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev git
Once we have all the necessary dependencies on our system, we can proceed to clone the Pepperminty Wiki repository from GitHub.
To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki.git
With the Pepperminty Wiki repository cloned on your system, navigate to the repository folder and install the required Python packages using the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now that we have Pepperminty Wiki installed, let's configure our instance.
We need to create a configuration file for Pepperminty Wiki to read. To do so, navigate to the cloned repository folder and copy the config.json.example file by running the following command:
cp config.json.example config.json
After copying the configuration file, open it using your favorite text editor and adjust the settings according to your requirements. You can change the title of your wiki, enable search, disable page editing, and more.
After you've finished configuring your Pepperminty Wiki instance, it's time to run it.
To start the instance, navigate to the repository folder and run the following command:
python3 app.py
By default, Pepperminty Wiki will run on port 5000. You can access your instance on http://localhost:5000/.
If you want to change the port, you can do so by adding the following line to your config.json file:
{
"port": 8080
}
Replace 8080 with your desired port number.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install and configure Pepperminty Wiki on Void Linux. You can now enjoy a minimalist wiki engine for your personal or professional use.
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!
