Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies
PocketBase requires several dependencies to function correctly on Fedora. To install them, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo dnf install -y curl git nginx mariadb mariadb-server php php-cli php-composer php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip unzip

Step 2: Install Composer
PocketBase uses Composer to manage its dependencies. To install Composer, execute the following command:

This command will download and install Composer globally in your system.
Step 3: Clone PocketBase Repository

These commands will copy the Nginx configuration file, create a symbolic link, remove the default server configuration file, and reload Nginx to apply the changes.
Step 5: Configure MariaDB
PocketBase uses MariaDB as the database server to store its data. To configure MariaDB, execute the following commands:

Edit the configuration file to reflect your setup. Make sure to set the correct MariaDB connection settings.
