How to Install Squidex on Manjaro

Squidex is an open-source headless CMS that helps manage content and digital assets for websites and mobile apps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Squidex on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with installing Squidex, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

• A computer running Manjaro operating system
• A terminal with sudo access
• Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed on your system

We will assume you have all the prescribed dependencies already installed on your system.

Step 1: Clone the Squidex repository

The first step is to clone the Squidex source code from the GitHub repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Squidex/squidex.git

This command will download the Squidex repository to your current directory.

Step 2: Build the Squidex Docker image

Next, navigate into the cloned repository using the following command:

cd squidex

Now, build the Squidex Docker image using the following command:

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.build.yml build

This command will build a Docker image from the Squidex source code.

Step 3: Run the Squidex Docker container

Once the Docker image is built successfully, you can run the Squidex container using the following command:

sudo docker-compose up

This will start the Squidex server on port 5000.

By default, Squidex stores its data in a PostgreSQL database. If you need to persist the data between container instances, you can mount a volume to the PostgreSQL data directory.

Conclusion

That's it! You now have Squidex up and running on your Manjaro system. You can now go to your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to access Squidex's CMS.
