Installing Evergreen on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Evergreen, which is a popular and open-source library system used by various organizations. We will install Evergreen on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Let's get started!

Prerequisites

  • A system running Fedora CoreOS latest
  • A stable internet connection
  • Basic shell commands knowledge

Step 1: Install Docker

Docker will be our main tool to deploy Evergreen on Fedora CoreOS. To install the Docker package on Fedora CoreOS, use the command below:

sudo systemctl enable docker.service

sudo systemctl start docker.service

Step 2: Download Evergreen image

The next step is to obtain an Evergreen image. This image is used to create a new container where Evergreen's services will run. You can download the latest Evergreen image from their official website.

docker pull evergreenils/evergreen:latest

Step 3: Create a Docker network

Now, we need to create a Docker network so that Evergreen services can communicate with each other without any issues.

docker network create evergreen_network

Step 4: Setup Evergreen

In this step, we will start Evergreen container and set up basic configurations for it to run. Run the command below:

docker run -d --name evergreen-container \
--network evergreen_network \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /var/lib/evergreen:/openils/var \
evergreenils/evergreen

This command will create a new container named evergreen-container and add it to the evergreen_network we created in step 3. It also maps Evergreen's default port 8080 to the host machine's port 8080. The -v flag creates a volume where Evergreen data will be stored.

Step 5: Access Evergreen

Finally, when you open a browser on your system and visit the address http://localhost:8080, you will be greeted with Evergreen's web interface. Congratulations, you have successfully installed Evergreen on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install Evergreen on Fedora CoreOS latest. These steps should work for various other Linux distributions as well. You can now manage your library collections efficiently with Evergreen's powerful features. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you!
