In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Roadiz, an open-source content management system, on Void Linux.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To start the installation, first, update the package manager using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Then install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo xbps-install php php-pdo php-json php-phar php-curl php-mysqlnd php-xml composer unzip git
Next, download the latest version of Roadiz from https://github.com/roadiz/roadiz/releases/latest and extract it using the following commands:
mkdir -p /var/www/roadiz
cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo wget https://github.com/roadiz/roadiz/releases/latest/download/roadiz-standard.zip
sudo unzip roadiz-standard.zip
sudo rm -rf roadiz-standard.zip
Navigate into the extracted Roadiz directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo composer install
Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for Roadiz using the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL/MariaDB root password when prompted, and then run the following commands to create the database and user:
CREATE DATABASE roadiz;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roadiz.* TO 'roadizuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace 'password' with your desired password for the Roadiz database user.
Copy the .env.dist file to .env and edit the database settings with your MySQL/MariaDB database credentials using the following commands:
cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo cp .env.dist .env
sudo nano .env
Change the following variables to match your database credentials:
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_PORT=3306
DATABASE_NAME=roadiz
DATABASE_USER=roadizuser
DATABASE_PASSWORD=password
Save and exit the file.
Finally, run the following commands to install Roadiz:
cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo vendor/bin/roadiz install
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data *
You can now access Roadiz by navigating to http://<your-domain>/web in your web browser.
Congrats! You have successfully installed Roadiz on your Void Linux system. You can now create and manage your content using Roadiz.
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!
