Installing Ackee on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Ackee is a modern, self-hosted analytics tool that lets you track your website visitors and analyze their behavior. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Ackee on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Access to a terminal with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Docker

Ackee requires Docker in order to run, so let's install that first.

Check if Docker is already installed by running the following command:
```
docker version
```
If you see a valid output, then Docker is already installed. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
Install Docker by executing the following command:
```
sudo dnf -y install docker
```
After Docker is successfully installed, start the daemon and enable it to start on boot using the following commands:
```
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
```

Step 2: Create a Docker network

Since Ackee has multiple components that need to communicate with each other, we'll create a Docker network to ensure they are able to talk to each other.

Create a Docker network by running the following command:
```
sudo docker network create ackee
```

Step 3: Pull and configure Ackee Docker images

We'll now pull the required Docker images for Ackee and configure them.

Pull the ackee/api image by executing the following command:
```
sudo docker pull electerious/ackee
```
Create a config.yml file and add the following configuration:
```
# config.yml

ackee:
    api:
        username: "ackee"
        password: "ackee"
    database:
        uri: "mongodb://ackee-db:27017/ackee"
```
This configuration sets up a default username and password for the Ackee API, and a MongoDB database URI to connect to.

Set up the Ackee API container using the following command:

sudo docker run -d \
  --name ackee-api \
  --env-file config.yml \
  --network ackee \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  electerious/ackee

Step 4: Access the Ackee web interface

Ackee is now running, and you can access its web interface by opening the URL http://<server-ip-or-domain>:3000 in your web browser.

You'll be prompted for a username and password, which you can set in the config.yml file.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install and configure Ackee on Fedora CoreOS. You can now start tracking and analyzing your website visitors using this modern analytics tool.
