How to Install Corteza on Fedora Server Latest
Corteza is an open-source platform for building and running a variety of business applications. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process step-by-step on a Fedora server.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- A Fedora Server Latest instance with root or sudo access
- A stable internet connection
- Basic knowledge of Linux commands
Step 1: Update system
The first step is to update your Fedora server to ensure that you have all the necessary packages and dependencies. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Step 2: Install required packages
Next, you need to install several dependencies required by Corteza. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install git curl wget unzip htop
Step 3: Install Docker
Corteza runs on top of Docker, so you need to install Docker on your Fedora server. Run the following commands to download and install Docker:
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Then, start and enable Docker to run at startup:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Verify that Docker is working by running:
sudo docker run hello-world
Step 4: Install Corteza
Now you're ready to download and install Corteza. Run the following command to clone the Corteza repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/cortezaproject/corteza-server.git
Change to the cloned directory:
cd corteza-server
Then, build and start the Corteza containers:
sudo make init
You can now access Corteza in your web browser by entering http://localhost:8099.
Step 5: (Optional) Enable HTTPS access
If you want to enable HTTPS access for Corteza, you need to create a self-signed SSL certificate. Run the following commands to create a new SSL directory and generate a self-signed certificate:
sudo mkdir /ssl
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /ssl/corteza.key -out /ssl/corteza.crt
Then, update the corteza.env file with the SSL certificate path by running:
echo "COMPOSE_FILE_LOCATION=$(pwd)/docker-compose.yml" >> corteza.env
echo "C_CR_CERT=/ssl/corteza.crt" >> corteza.env
echo "C_CR_KEY=/ssl/corteza.key" >> corteza.env
After making the above changes, rebuild and restart the Corteza containers:
sudo make rebuild
sudo make start
You can now access Corteza through HTTPS by browsing to https://localhost:443.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Corteza on a Fedora server. Corteza is now ready to use, and you can start building and running your business applications.
