Installing Wiki on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Wiki on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• A computer with a Linux operating system installed (Void Linux is our target in this tutorial)
• An active internet connection

Steps

1. First, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command in your terminal:

   sudo xbps-install -S git go gcc
   

2. Next, clone the Wiki repository from wiki">https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki

   git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki.git
   

3. Once the download is complete, move into the cloned directory using the following command:

   cd wiki
   

4. Build and install the Wiki server by running the following command:

   make && sudo make install
   

   Alternatively, you can use the go command to build and install the server:

   go install
   

5. Finally, run the Wiki server:

   wiki
   

6. You should see the following message:

   2022/01/01 00:00:00 Serving on :8080
   

   This means the Wiki server is running on your local machine, accessible at http://localhost:8080.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run Wiki on Void Linux. You can now open your web browser and visit the server URL to start creating Wiki pages. Enjoy!

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!
