Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need the following:

  • POP! OS Latest installed on your system

Installing Docker

We will be installing Squidex using Docker. Therefore, the first step is to install Docker on your machine. To install Docker, follow the instructions below:

  1. Open a terminal window using the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.

  2. Run the following command to update the packages list:

    sudo apt update

  3. Install the required packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

    sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

  4. Add Docker’s GPG key:

    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

  5. Add the Docker repository to your system:

    sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

  6. Update the packages list again:

    sudo apt update

Installing Squidex

Once the Docker is installed, we can proceed to install Squidex using Docker.

  1. Open a terminal window using the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.

    docker run \
-p 5000:80 \
-e URL__BASEURL=http://localhost:5000 \
squidex/squidex
    • The -p flag is used to map the container’s port 80 to your host machine’s port 5000.
    • The -e flag is used to set environment variables. Here, we are setting the URL__BASEURL to http://localhost:5000

    This will download the Squidex Docker image and run it on your system.
