Installing Journal on Alpine Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will be installing Journal, a note-taking application, on Alpine Linux Latest. Journal is an open-source application that allows you to easily create and manage notes.

Prerequisites

• A server running Alpine Linux Latest
• Root access to the server

Step 1: Install required packages

Before we can start installing Journal, we need to install some required packages. Run the following command to update the package list and install the required packages:

apk update && apk add git php7 php7-dom php7-xmlwriter php7-tokenizer php7-mbstring php7-json composer

This command updates the package list and installs Git, PHP 7, and the required PHP extensions.

Step 2: Clone the Journal repository

Next, we need to clone the Journal repository from GitHub using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal.git

This command clones the Journal repository to your current directory.

Step 3: Install dependencies

Before we can start using Journal, we need to install its dependencies using Composer. Run the following command to install dependencies:

cd journal
composer install --no-dev

This command installs the required PHP packages using Composer.

Step 4: Run the application

Once the dependencies have been installed, we can start using Journal. Run the following command to start the application:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public

This command starts the PHP development server on port 8000 and serves the application from the public/ directory.

You can now access Journal by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:8000/.
