DocPHT (https://docpht.org/) is a simple and lightweight documentation tool that can be installed on macOS. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps required to install DocPHT on your macOS machine.
Before we begin, you'll need the following:
The first step is to download the latest version of DocPHT from https://docpht.org/download.
Open the downloaded file and extract the contents to the DocumentRoot of your Apache web server. The DocumentRoot is typically located in /Library/WebServer/Documents.
sudo unzip docpht-x.x.zip -d /Library/WebServer/Documents/docpht/
Create a new database and user for DocPHT in MySQL:
CREATE DATABASE docphtdb;
CREATE USER 'docphtuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON docphtdb.* TO 'docphtuser'@'localhost';
Replace 'password' with a strong password for the DocPHT user.
Copy the config.dist.php file to config.php:
cp /Library/WebServer/Documents/docpht/config.dist.php /Library/WebServer/Documents/docpht/config.php
Open config.php in your favorite text editor and set the database credentials:
$config['db']['name'] = 'docphtdb';
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['user'] = 'docphtuser';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';
Replace 'password' with the same strong password for the DocPHT user that you set in Step 3.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/docpht/. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the DocPHT login page. Log in with the credentials you set in Step 4.
That's it! You have successfully installed DocPHT on your macOS machine. Enjoy your new documentation tool.
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!
