Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following:

  • A Fedora CoreOS Latest server
  • A terminal window on your server
  • A web server installed and configured correctly

Step 1: Download IconCaptcha

The first thing you need to do is to download the IconCaptcha files from the official website. You can use the following command to download the files:

wget https://github.com/fabianwennink/IconCaptcha/archive/master.zip

The above command will download the required files and save them in your current working directory.

Step 2: Extract the Files

Once the download is complete, you need to extract the files from the downloaded ZIP archive. You can use the following command to extract the files:

unzip master.zip

This command will extract the files into a new directory named "IconCaptcha-master".

Step 3: Copy the Files

Next, you need to copy the extracted files to your web server's document root. You can use the following command to copy the files:

cp -r IconCaptcha-master/ /var/www/html/

This command will copy all the required files to the "/var/www/html/" directory.

Step 4: Configure IconCaptcha

Now you need to configure IconCaptcha by editing the "config.php" file. You can use the following command to edit the file:

nano /var/www/html/IconCaptcha-master/inc/config.php

Once the file is open, you need to update the values for the following parameters:

  • $publicKey: This is the public key that you get from the IconCaptcha website.
  • $privateKey: This is the private key that you get from the IconCaptcha website.
  • $dsn: This is the database connection string.
  • $dbUsername: This is the database username.
  • $dbPassword: This is the database password.

Once you have updated the parameters, save and close the file.

Step 5: Set Permissions

Next, you need to set the appropriate permissions for the "uploads" directory. You can use the following command to set the permissions:

chmod 777 /var/www/html/IconCaptcha-master/uploads/

This command will set the permissions to read, write, and execute for all users.

Step 6: Test IconCaptcha

Now, you can test IconCaptcha by browsing to your website and clicking the test button, which should display the IconCaptcha on your website.
