How to Install Gokapi on Fedora Server Latest

Gokapi is an open-source API gateway developed in Golang. It provides features like rate limiting, load balancing, and caching, among others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Gokapi on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

  • A Fedora Server Latest installation
  • A user with sudo privileges
  • Basic knowledge of command-line interfaces (CLI)

Step 1: Install Golang

Gokapi is developed in Golang, which means you need to install Golang on your Fedora Server before proceeding with the Gokapi installation.

To install Golang, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf install golang

Once installed, verify the installation by checking the version using the following command:

go version

Now that we have installed Golang, let's proceed with cloning the Gokapi repository. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Forceu/gokapi.git

Step 3: Build and Install Gokapi

After cloning the repository, navigate to the gokapi directory using the terminal:

cd gokapi

Then, build the Gokapi binary using the following command:

go build

Once the build is complete, you can install the binary using the following command:

sudo go install

Step 4: Start Gokapi

Now that we have installed Gokapi, let's start the API gateway. To do so, run the following command:

sudo gokapi

By default, Gokapi runs on port 8080. To verify if the API gateway is running, open your web browser and visit http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8080/, where SERVER_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your Fedora Server. You should see a message saying "Gokapi is running".

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Gokapi on a Fedora Server Latest installation. With Gokapi up and running, you can now leverage its powerful features to create robust API gateways to empower your applications.
