How to install and manage multiple AnQiCMS sites on the same Linux server?

Hello! As an experienced website operations expert, I fully understand the importance of efficiently and conveniently utilizing existing resources when managing multiple websites.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) is designed for such needs with its powerful multi-site management capabilities.It can not only help us reduce operating costs, but also significantly improve management efficiency.

Next, I will focus on how to install and manage multiple AnQiCMS sites on the same Linux server?This topic, we will give you a detailed interpretation of each link from the deployment strategy to the specific operations, striving to present complex technical information to you in the most intuitive and practical way possible.

Manage multiple sites: A practical guide to efficiently manage multiple AnQiCMS sites on Linux servers

In the age of increasingly popular digital marketing, many companies, self-media or individuals often need to manage multiple brand websites, product display pages, or content topics.How to achieve centralized and efficient management of these sites under limited server resources, while ensuring their independence and stability, is a major challenge facing operators.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) provides the perfect solution with its core advantage of 'multi-site management'.

AnQi CMS adopts a lightweight architecture based on the Go language, which means it inherently has high concurrency processing capabilities and excellent performance. What is even more remarkable is that it allows us toThe same AnQiCMS application instanceBelow, easily create and manage multiple independent websites. This greatly reduces resource consumption and avoids the麻烦 of deploying a separate CMS for each site, truly realizing the vision of "one system, multiple deployments".

Understanding the core principle of AnQiCMS multi-site management

Before starting the actual operation, we first need to clarify the basic idea of AnQiCMS multi-site management. It is not to install multiple copies of the AnQiCMS program on the server, but through aA single-running AnQiCMS applicationRespond to requests from different domain names and route the requests to the corresponding logical sites according to the domain name.Each logical site has an independent website configuration, content, database, and file storage path, but shares the core program code and runtime environment of AnQiCMS.

This design pattern brings significant advantages:

• Resource-efficient utilization: Just one program runs, saving a lot of CPU, memory, and disk space.
• Centralized and unified managementAll site management entries (multi-site management) are in the background of the main site, making it convenient for overall control.
• Deployment and maintenance simplified：Program updates, security patch applications, and other operations need to be performed only once to benefit all sites.
• Data isolation and security: Although the programs are shared, the data (databases, cache files, etc.) of each site are stored independently, without affecting each other.

Pre-deployment preparation: Basic environment and domain configuration

Deploy multiple AnQiCMS sites on a Linux server, you need to prepare the following:

1. A server running the Linux operating systemEnsure the system environment is stable and Docker or your preferred web server (such as Nginx/Apache) and MySQL database are installed.The panel is recommended in the document for visual management, which will greatly simplify the operation.
2. Multiple independent domainsEach AnQiCMS site needs to be bound to a unique domain name, for examplewww.site1.com,www.site2.cometc. Make sure these domains are correctly resolved to your Linux server IP address.
3. MySQL database service: AnQiCMS needs MySQL database to store data.If you use Docker, you can consider installing the Docker version of MySQL;If deploying manually, make sure MySQL is installed and running.

Practical deployment: for example, using Baota panel (recommended method)

The Baota panel, with its friendly graphical interface, has become the preferred choice for many operators.The following will use the Baota panel as an example to detail how to install and manage multiple AnQiCMS sites on the same server.

Step 1: Install Baota panel and configure basic services

If you have not installed Baota panel yet, please visitbt.cnGet the installation tutorial. After installation, log in to the Baota panel:

1. Install DockerIn the left menu of the Baota panel, find "Docker", the first time you use it will prompt you to install, click "Install Now".
2. Install Docker MySQLIn the Docker app store, search for 'mysql' and install.Recommend choosing version 5.7 and check the option 'Allow external access'.After installation, be sure to enter the MySQL detail page and copyrootThe user's password, which will be used for the subsequent installation of AnQiCMS.
3. Install the first AnQiCMS application using Docker.In the Docker container page, click "Create container."
   • nameFill inanqicms.
   • MirrorManual inputanqicms/anqicms:latest.
   • Port: Both the server port and container port should be filled in8001(This is the default internal running port of AnQiCMS).
   • Restart policySelect 'restart after failure' or 'restart if not manually stopped'. Click confirm to complete the container creation.

Step 2: Configure reverse proxy and initialize for the first AnQiCMS site.

After the container is created, the AnQiCMS program has already been running in Docker, but it cannot be accessed directly through the domain name. We need to configure a reverse proxy:

1. Create a reverse proxy website: Click on 'Reverse Proxy' under the left menu 'Website' in the Baota panel, then click 'Add Proxy'.
   • Main domainEnter the domain name of your first AnQiCMS site, for examplewww.site1.com. *
