Tutorial: How to Install Miniflux on Fedora CoreOS Latest
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Miniflux, an open-source RSS reader, on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Follow the steps below to install Miniflux on your Fedora CoreOS machine.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
- a running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
- root privileges to install packages and services
Step 1: Update Fedora CoreOS
To ensure that your machine is up-to-date, update the system by running the following commands.
sudo rpm-ostree update
sudo systemctl reboot
Step 2: Install PostgreSQL
Miniflux requires a PostgreSQL database to store data. Install PostgreSQL by running the following command.
sudo podman run --rm -it \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=miniflux_password \
-v /var/lib/pgsql/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
postgres:alpine
This command will pull the PostgreSQL container with the alpine tag, set the default PostgreSQL user password, and mount the data directory of the PostgreSQL container to the data directory of the host.
Step 3: Install Miniflux
Install Miniflux by running the following command.
sudo podman run --rm -it \
-e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:[email protected]:5432/miniflux \
-e BASE_URI=https://example.com/miniflux \
-v /opt/miniflux:/var/lib/miniflux \
miniflux/miniflux
This command will pull the Miniflux container, set the PostgreSQL database URL, define the base URI of the Miniflux instance, and mount the Miniflux data directory to /opt/miniflux.
Step 4: Verify Miniflux Installation
Once Miniflux is installed, you can verify the installation by accessing the Miniflux web interface using a web browser. Enter the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS machine and append /miniflux to the URL. For example, http://192.168.1.100/miniflux.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have now installed Miniflux on your Fedora CoreOS machine. You can now use it to read your favorite RSS feeds.
