How to Install Documize on Ubuntu Server Latest?

Introduction

Documize is an open-source knowledge management system that offers a platform for organizing, sharing, and finding knowledge easily. It’s a platform designed to enhance productivity and improves communication among teams. In this tutorial, we’ll explain the installation process of Documize on an Ubuntu server.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, you should have:

• An Ubuntu server with the latest version
• A user account with root privileges
• Stable internet connection.

Step 1: Update the System

Ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the following commands:

sudo apt update && apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Prerequisites

You need to install some dependencies before starting the installation process. The following command will ensure all the dependencies are installed:

sudo apt-get install -y curl wget gnupg software-properties-common

Step 3: Install Docker

Documize requires Docker for its installation. You can install Docker by running the commands below:

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

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

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Step 4: Start and enable Docker service

After installing Docker, start it and enable it to launch every time the server restarts by running:

sudo systemctl start docker

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 5: Download Documize Container and Run Container

We’ll use Docker to download and configure Documize using a container. Run the command below:

docker run --name documize -d -p 8080:8080 documize/community

The command will download the Docker Image and run the container. You can verify if the container is running by using the following command:

docker ps

After launching the container, you should be able to access Documize at http://your-server-ip:8080.

If you want the container to launch on system reboot, then run the following command:

sudo docker update --restart=always documize

Step 6: Access the Documize User Portal

Once the setup is complete, you can use Documize by accessing http://your-server-ip:8080 on your browser, and by following the prompted instructions to create a user account.
