Plone is a free and open-source content management system that can be used to create websites, intranets, and web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install Plone on Void Linux.
Before installing Plone, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To run Plone on Void Linux, you need to install some dependencies. You can do this easily by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install libxml2 libxslt libjpeg-turbo libtiff libpng libyaml libffi libssl openssl gcc g++ make python3 python3-dev
Now we need to download Plone from the official website. You can simply download the latest stable version of Plone by running the following command:
wget -c https://launchpad.net/plone/5.2/5.2.4/+download/Plone-5.2.4-UnifiedInstaller.tgz
Once the download is complete, extract the Plone installation package using the following command:
tar -xvf Plone-5.2.4-UnifiedInstaller.tgz
This will create a new directory named Plone-5.2.4-UnifiedInstaller in your current working directory.
Before we can install Plone, we need to navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd Plone-5.2.4-UnifiedInstaller
Now, we can start the installation process using the following command:
sudo ./install.sh standalone --user=plone --target=/opt/plone
Here, we have specified that we want to install Plone in standalone mode, with a dedicated user plone, and install directory /opt/plone.
This process may take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications and internet speed. After completion of the installation process, you will be able to see the following message:
Plone successfully installed at /opt/plone/zeocluster.
Now that we have installed Plone, we can start using it. To start Plone, navigate to the Plone installation directory using the following command:
cd /opt/plone/zeocluster
Now, you can start Plone by running the following command:
sudo -u plone bin/plonectl start
This will start the Plone server. You can now access Plone by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/Plone.
In this article, we have shown you how to install Plone on Void Linux. By following these steps, you should now have a fully functional Plone instance up and running on your system.
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!
