How to Install Neos on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Neos is a PHP-based content management system built on top of the Flow framework. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Neos on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.
• Root access or sudo privileges.

Step 1 - Install PHP

Neos requires PHP to run. To install PHP on Fedora CoreOS, run the following command:

sudo dnf install php php-fpm php-xml php-mbstring php-gd php-curl php-zip php-intl -y

Step 2 - Install the Required Packages

Next, install the required packages to run Neos on your Fedora CoreOS instance. You can install these packages using the following command:

sudo dnf install git nginx mariadb mariadb-server -y

Step 3 - Configure MySQL

By default, MariaDB will not allow root login without a password. So, we need to set a password for the root user before proceeding. To do this, run the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts and set a password for the root user.

Next, we need to create a new database and user for Neos. Run the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE neos;
CREATE USER 'neosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neos.* TO 'neosuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Note: Change password in the above command to a stronger password.

Step 4 - Download Neos

We will use git to clone the Neos repository from GitHub. Run the following commands to download Neos:

cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/neos/neos-base-distribution.git neos

Next, we will switch to the latest stable version of Neos. Run the following command to do this:

cd /var/www/neos && sudo git checkout $(git tag --sort=-v:refname | grep -v rc | head -n 1)

Note: You can visit the official Neos documentation to get the latest stable version.

Step 5 - Install the Required Packages using Composer

We will use Composer to install the required packages for Neos. To install Composer, run the following command:

sudo dnf install composer -y

Next, run the following command to install the packages:

cd /var/www/neos && sudo composer install

Step 6 - Configure Nginx

Next, we will configure Nginx to serve Neos. Run the following command to create a new Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/neos.conf

Add the following content in the file:

server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.name.com;

root /var/www/neos/Web;
index index.php;

location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

}

Note: Change domain.name.com to your domain name.

Once done, save and exit the file.

Step 7 - Start the Required Services

We need to start the required services to run Neos. Run the following commands to start the services:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl start php-fpm

Step 8 - Access Neos

Neos should be accessible at http://domain.name.com. You will see the Neos installation wizard. Follow the prompts to install Neos.

Note: Change domain.name.com to your domain name.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neos on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Enjoy!
