How to Install Filestash on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Filestash on Fedora Server latest version.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

  • A Fedora Server latest version installed on your system.
  • An internet connection to download the software and updates.

Step 1 - Update the system

Ensure that your Fedora Server is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2 - Install Required Dependencies

Filestash requires some dependencies to be installed. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo dnf install -y curl git wget unzip

Step 3 - Install Docker

Filestash can be installed using a Docker container. Docker is not included in Fedora, so we need to install it. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
sudo dnf install -y docker-ce-cli docker-ce

Start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 4 - Install Filestash

Now that Docker is installed, we can proceed with installing Filestash in a Docker container. Run the following command to pull the Filestash Docker image:

sudo docker pull filestash/filestash

Step 5 - Start the Filestash container

Once the Filestash Docker image is downloaded, we can start the Filestash container. Run the following command to start the container:

sudo docker run -d --name filestash -p 80:80 -v /path/to/data:/data filestash/filestash
  • -d flag runs the container in the background.
  • --name flag sets a name for the container.
  • -p flag maps the internal port of the container to the external port of the host.
  • -v flag mounts a directory from the host to the container.

Make sure to replace the /path/to/data with the directory that you want to use as the root directory for Filestash.

Step 6 - Access Filestash

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost. You should see the Filestash login page. Follow the prompts to create a new user account and log in to Filestash.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Filestash on your Fedora Server.
