Installing Umbraco on Alpine Linux Latest
Umbraco is a widely-used open source content management system (CMS) that is written in C#. In this tutorial, we will be installing Umbraco on Alpine Linux Latest.
Prerequisites
Before we get started, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
- Alpine Linux Latest is installed and updated.
- Docker is installed and running on the system.
- An internet connection is available.
Step 1: Create a new Docker container
We will start by creating a new Docker container to install Umbraco on Alpine Linux. We will use Docker Compose to create the container.
Create a new directory named
umbraco:mkdir umbracoNavigate to the new directory:
cd umbracoCreate a file called
docker-compose.yml:touch docker-compose.ymlAdd the following code to the
docker-compose.ymlfile:version: '3.3' services: umbraco: image: "alpine:latest" container_name: "umbraco" restart: always volumes: - ./umbraco:/app - ./entrypoint.sh:/entrypoint.sh environment: - ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80 - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production ports: - "8080:80"Here, we have specified the version of Docker Compose and defined a service named
umbraco. We use the Alpine Linux Latest image, specify the container name asumbraco, and set the container to restart if it fails. The Umbraco files will be mounted through the volumes option.Create a file called
entrypoint.sh:touch entrypoint.shAdd the following code to the
entrypoint.shfile:#!/bin/sh cd /app apk update apk add curl unzip curl -LO https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/umbraco/Umbraco%20CMS/8.15.1/UmbracoCms.8.15.1.zip unzip UmbracoCms.8.15.1.zip chmod -R 777 /app cd UmbracoThis file will be used as the entrypoint to the container. We use
curlto download the Umbraco files andunzipto extract the files. We also set the permissions for the Umbraco files to be executable.
Step 2: Install Umbraco
Start the Docker container:
docker-compose up -dVerify that the container has started successfully:
docker psThis should show the running container named
umbraco.Access the container:
docker exec -it umbraco /bin/shStart the Umbraco installer:
cd /app/Umbraco dotnet new -i Umbraco.Templates::9.0.0-beta007 dotnet new -u Umbraco.Cms.IdentityServer4Plugin::8.5.1 dotnet new -u Umbraco.Cms.TourPlugin::8.5.1 dotnet new -u Umbraco.Cms.UdiPlugin::8.5.1 dotnet new -u Umbraco.Cms.TeiPlugin::8.5.1 dotnet new umbraco -n Umbraco.TestThese commands will install the Umbraco templates and create a new Umbraco project named
Umbraco.Test.Open a web browser and go to:
http://localhost:8080This should show the Umbraco website.
Follow the prompts to complete the Umbraco installation process.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have shown how to install Umbraco on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker. We created a Docker container, installed Umbraco within it, and accessed Umbraco through a web browser on the local host.
