How to Install Indico on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Indico, a powerful event management system, on the latest Fedora CoreOS. Indico is an open-source software that helps you manage conferences, workshops, and meetings.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation, you need:

  • A running instance of the latest Fedora CoreOS.
  • Sudo privileges to run the installation commands.

Step 1 - Install Required Packages

The first step is to install the required packages on Fedora CoreOS. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y podman podman-docker

This command will install podman and other required packages to run Indico.

Step 2 - Download Indico Container

Now you need to download the Indico container image from the official repository. Run the following command to download the container image:

sudo podman pull getindico/indico:latest

This command will download the latest Indico container image from the official repository.

Step 3 - Create a Config Directory

You need to create a directory to store the Indico configuration files. Run the following command to create a directory:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/indico

Step 4 - Create Indico Container

Next, create a container for Indico using the following command:

sudo podman run -d --name indico \
    -p 8080:80 \
    -v /var/lib/indico:/opt/indico/data \
    getindico/indico:latest

This command will create a container named indico and forward the traffic from the host port 8080 to the container port 80. Also, it will mount the /var/lib/indico directory from the host to the /opt/indico/data directory inside the container.

Step 5 - Access Indico

Now you can access Indico by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
