Installing Firefly III on Fedora CoreOS

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Firefly III on Fedora CoreOS latest. Firefly III is a free and open source personal finance manager. It allows you to track your income and expenses, create budgets, and more.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, you need to have the following:

A running instance of Fedora CoreOS latest
A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Docker

Firefly III runs inside a Docker container, so you need to install Docker first.

Login to your Fedora CoreOS system as a user with sudo privileges.
Install Docker:
```
sudo dnf install -y docker
```

Enable and start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker.service

Verify that the Docker service is running:

sudo systemctl status docker.service

If the service is running, you should see output similar to the following:

● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2021-11-10 10:10:48 PST; 2s ago
   ...

Step 2: Install Firefly III

Pull the Firefly III Docker image:
```
sudo docker pull jc5x/firefly-iii
```
Run the Firefly III container:
```
sudo docker run -d --name firefly -p 8080:80 jc5x/firefly-iii
```
This command runs the Firefly III container in detached mode (-d), assigns the container a name (--name firefly), maps port 8080 of the host to port 80 of the container (-p 8080:80), and uses the jc5x/firefly-iii Docker image to create the container.

Verify that the container is running:

sudo docker ps

If the container is running, you should see output similar to the following:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE              COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                  NAMES

Access Firefly III:

Firefly III should now be available on port 8080 of your Fedora CoreOS system. To access it, open a web browser and enter the following URL:
```
http://localhost:8080
```
If you are accessing Firefly III from a remote machine, replace "localhost" with the IP address or hostname of your Fedora CoreOS system.

Step 3: Configure Firefly III

The first time you access Firefly III, you will be prompted to configure it. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account and configure your settings.
Once you have completed the configuration, you should be able to start using Firefly III to manage your finances.
