How to Install Fider on Fedora Server Latest

Fider is an open-source platform for collecting and organizing customer feedback. In order to use Fider, you need to install it on a server. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Fider on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to have a few things installed:

• Fedora Server Latest
• MySQL or MariaDB
• Node.js
• Nginx

Step 1: Install MySQL or MariaDB

Fider requires a database to store its data. You can choose either MySQL or MariaDB. Here is how to install MariaDB:

sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb

Step 2: Create a Database

To create a database for Fider, you need to log in to your MariaDB instance and create a new database:

sudo mysql -u root
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE fider;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fider.* TO 'fideruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;

Step 3: Install Node.js

Fider is built on Node.js, so you need to install Node.js and its package manager, npm:

sudo dnf install nodejs
sudo dnf install npm

Step 4: Install Fider

To install Fider, you need to clone the GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git
cd fider

Next, you need to install Fider's dependencies:

npm install -g yarn # if you don't have yarn installed
yarn

Step 5: Configure Fider

Before you can use Fider, you need to configure it. Copy the default configuration file and edit it:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Make sure to set the following variables:

DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_NAME=fider
DB_USER=fideruser
DB_PASS=password

Step 6: Start Fider

Now you are ready to start Fider:

yarn start

If everything is working correctly, Fider should be running on http://localhost:3000.

Step 7: Configure Nginx

To make Fider accessible from the internet, you need to configure Nginx. Create a new server block in Nginx's configuration file:

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

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name fider.example.com; # replace with your domain name
    root /path/to/fider/public;
    index index.html;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Save the file and restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Now you should be able to access Fider from your domain name.

Conclusion

That's it! You now have Fider installed on your Fedora Server Latest. Enjoy collecting feedback from your customers!
