Installing Monica on Fedora CoreOS Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Monica on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Monica is an open-source personal relationship manager that helps you keep track of your friends, family and colleagues.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure your Fedora CoreOS instance is up-to-date and that you have sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Docker

Monica is packaged as a Docker container, so we need to first install Docker on the system. You can install Docker on Fedora CoreOS using the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

Step 2: Download Monica

To download Monica, run the following command:

sudo docker pull monicahq/monica

This will download the latest version of Monica from the Docker Hub.

Step 3: Setup the Database

Monica requires a database to store its data. For this tutorial, we will be using SQLite as the database backend.

First, create a directory to store the database:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/monica

Next, create an empty SQLite database file:

sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite

Set the proper file permissions for the new database file:

sudo chown 1000:1000 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite
sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite

Step 4: Run Monica

Now that we have everything set up, we can run Monica using the following command:

sudo docker run -d \
  --name monica \
  -e DB_CONNECTION_STRING=sqlite:/var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite \
  -v /var/lib/monica:/var/lib/monica \
  -p 80:80 \
  monicahq/monica

This will run Monica as a Docker container, mount the database directory inside the container, and expose the web interface on port 80.

Step 5: Access Monica

Once the container is running, you can access Monica by visiting http:// in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Monica on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
