How To Install Virtualmin

You should have a fresh instance of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It is important that nothing else is installed on the server because Virtualmin will handle it. We'll use https://gitlab.com/wikisuite/virtualmin-installer/ to install Virtualmin which is then configured for optimal settings for WikiSuite.

Install Webmin and Virtualmin on Ubuntu OS :-
Download Virtualmin using the below script. It is basically a shell script that will handle rest of the installation once executed.

Log in to your server via SSH with the root user. (If you are not logged in as root, you should switch to root)

Then run

# Run this Command on Terminal

curl -o install-virtualmin.sh https://gitlab.com/wikisuite/virtualmin-installer/-/raw/master/install-virtualmin.sh
bash install-virtualmin.sh

# A web URL will be provided after installation is complete, you can access the Virtualmin by the provided URL Ex:- https://example.com:10000 (GUI is at port 10000)

Update your system to latest available packages

Updates the list of available packages and their versions
apt-get update
Installs newer versions of the packages you have
apt-get upgrade

Installation of Tiki Manager

For more info, please see: https://doc.tiki.org/Manager

1. Install Tiki Manager :-
You can Install tiki-manager under any directory
Recomended Directory:- "home"

ie.
$ cd /home

Create a directory called tiki-manager (you can pick another name)
$ mkdir tiki-manager
Move into this new directory
$ cd tiki-manager
Fetch Tiki Manager directly from sources. The last period/dot (.) indicates to put files in current directory (vs creating a new directory)
$ git clone ––depth 1 ––branch master https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager.git .
Then run the following. On first run, it will finish the setup (Fetch Composer and get PHP dependencies, Create the SQLite database, etc.)
$ php tiki-manager.php manager:info

When asked "Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):", just click "Enter" unless you know that you need a passphrase (probably not)

Permistion

After Successfully Creating tiki-instance

To complete the setup of the checked-out files, including fetching external libraries and setting permissions, run setup.sh, (in the tiki root ):

Marc Laporte @Roshan @Vignesh and @Chirag: Those were really nice screenshots. But the point is to make it simple to install WikiSuite/Tiki. Tiki Manager's job is to install TIki, and if it failed, the bug must be fixed, and not document a workaround. 108
