How to Install Notes'n'Todos on Fedora Server Latest?

Notes'n'Todos is an open-source, easy-to-use application for taking notes and managing your to-do list. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Notes'n'Todos on your Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server or desktop running Fedora Server Latest.
• A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required for Notes'n'Todos. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo dnf install git npm nodejs

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Now that you have installed the dependencies, the next step is to clone the Notes'n'Todos repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/larspontoppidan/notesntodos.git

This will create a directory named notesntodos in the current working directory.

Step 3: Install Node.js Packages

In the next step, navigate to the notesntodos directory and install the required Node.js packages by running the following command:

cd notesntodos
sudo npm install

Note: The sudo command is necessary here to give the npm command the appropriate permissions to install packages.

Step 4: Build and Run the Application

Now that you have installed the necessary dependencies and packages, build and run the Notes'n'Todos application by running the following command:

sudo npm run build && sudo npm start

This command will create a production build of the application and launch it on port 3000. You can access Notes'n'Todos by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.

Step 5: Create a Systemd Service

To make the Notes'n'Todos application start automatically when the system boots, we need to create a systemd service. Create a file named notesntodos.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Notes and Todos Application
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=<directory_path>/notesntodos
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace <directory_path> with the actual path to the Notes'n'Todos directory.

Next, enable the service to start automatically on boot and start the service by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable notesntodos
sudo systemctl start notesntodos

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Notes'n'Todos on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now access the application by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
