When AnQiCMS meets aaPanel under the enhancement of Docker containers, the website construction will become simpler and more efficient than ever before.This article will give you a detailed explanation of how to achieve one-click deployment of AnQiCMS Docker applications through aaPanel, making your content management journey smoother.

Preparation: the foundation for smooth deployment

Before formally deploying AnQiCMS, we need to ensure that your server has the necessary basic environment.This is like building a house first by laying a solid foundation, a strong foundation is the guarantee for everything going smoothly afterwards.

  1. A server running the Linux operating system:This is the starting point for all operations.
  2. The aaPanel panel is installed and running:If your server has not installed aaPanel yet, you can visit its official download page (https://www.aaPanel.com/new/download.html), Choose the installation command corresponding to your Linux distribution and log in to the server to execute it.The installation process of aaPanel usually provides detailed instructions, and you can also seek support from its community when encountering problems.
  3. The Docker feature in aaPanel has been enabled:When you first enter the Docker management interface of aaPanel, the system will usually prompt you to install Docker.Just click “Install Now”, and wait for the Docker environment to be configured in aaPanel.Docker is the core of containerized running for AnQiCMS, make sure this step is completed successfully.

Core steps: Deploy AnQiCMS Docker application with aaPanel one-click

After everything is ready, we can proceed to the main topic and experience the convenience of one-click deployment brought by aaPanel.

Step 1: Search for and install AnQiCMS in the aaPanel app store

Log in to your aaPanel panel, turn your attention to the left menu bar, find and click on "App Store" (App Store).In the search box of the app store, enter “AnQiCMS” to search.Very soon, the Docker application entry of AnQiCMS will appear in front of you.

Step 2: Configure the installation parameters for the AnQiCMS Docker instance

Click the "Install" button in the search results, and you will enter the AnQiCMS installation configuration interface. Here, we need to make some key settings:

  • Domain (Domain):This is the access address of your AnQiCMS website. Please fill in the domain name that you have resolved to the current server, for exampletest.anqicms.comThis domain will be the entry point for users to access your website.
  • Port (port):By default, the AnQiCMS Docker application will use the container internally.8001Port. It is usually automatically configured for you the mapping port on the server side during the deployment interface.If you plan to deploy multiple AnQiCMS instances on the same server, make sure each instance uses a different server port (for example8001/8002And yet, the container port remains8001Unchanged.
  • Database (database):For one-click deployment with Docker, AnQiCMS usually built-in or automatically configure the database, so you may not need to set complex database parameters in the aaPanel deployment interface.The system will handle the creation and connection of the database for you, ensuring out-of-the-box use of the application.

After filling in, click the "Confirm" (confirm) button, aaPanel will start automatically pulling AnQiCMS's Docker image and creating, starting the container.This process usually takes 1 to 5 minutes, please be patient.If you encounter an installation failure, there will usually be an error message, you can check the prompt and try clicking the "Restart" button to redeploy.

Step 3: Configure reverse proxy for AnQiCMS website

In most cases, aaPanel automatically configures reverse proxy when deploying Docker applications.But in order to ensure that the website can provide services to the outside world through standard ports 80 or 443 (HTTP/HTTPS) and direct your domain to the AnQiCMS Docker instance, reverse proxy is an indispensable link.

If during the deployment process, aaPanel does not automatically configure reverse proxy for you, or you need to adjust it manually, you can follow the steps below:

  1. In the left menu of aaPanel, select 'Website' (website), then click 'Add Website' (add website).
  2. Select the "Reverse Proxy" (Reverse Proxy) type.
  3. Enter the access domain of your AnQiCMS website in the "Domain" (primary domain) field, for exampletest.anqicms.com.
  4. Enter in the "Proxy Address" (Proxy Address)127.0.0.1:8001. Here,8001Is the port exposed inside the AnQiCMS Docker container.If you used a different server port mapping in the second step, you should also fill in the corresponding port here.

After confirming the configuration, the reverse proxy rules will take effect, and your domain will be able to correctly point to the running AnQiCMS Docker application.

First visit and backend initialization

AnQiCMS Docker application deployment was successful and the reverse proxy was configured, after which your website is basically set up. Now, it's time to see the results in the browser!

Enter the domain you have set in the browser address bar, for examplehttp://test.anqicms.com/You will first access the initial installation interface of AnQiCMS. Please follow the page prompts to complete the database connection and admin account (default account:adminPassword:123456Set passwordSpecial reminder: For security reasons, it is essential to change the default administrator account and password immediately after the first login to the background.

After initialization is complete, you can use您的域名/system/for examplehttp://test.anqicms.com/system/）Visit the AnQiCMS backend management interface to start your journey of content creation and operation.
