Step 3: Configure the Web Server

Shaarli requires a web server to serve its content. For this tutorial, we will be using Nginx as our web server.

First, install Nginx using the following command:

sudo apk add nginx

Once installed, modify the Nginx configuration file at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf using your preferred text editor. Add the following configuration to the http block:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name example.com; # replace with your own domain name or IP address
  root /usr/share/nginx/html/shaarli;
  index index.php;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
  }

  location ~ .php$ {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # modify if using a different PHP-FPM setup
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
}

Save the file and restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 4: Configure Shaarli

The last step is to configure Shaarli by creating a config.ini file.

Copy the template configuration file using the following command:

sudo cp /usr/share/nginx/html/shaarli/config.default.ini /usr/share/nginx/html/shaarli/config.ini

Modify the config.ini file using your preferred text editor to suit your needs. Pay attention to the configuration options with comments that explain their use.
