How to Install Revolt on Fedora Server Latest

Revolt is a self-hosted chat platform that allows you to create your own chat rooms, invite your friends or colleagues, and share your thoughts, files, videos and audio messages. Here is how you can install it on your Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

  1. Fedora Server Latest installed on your machine.
  2. A domain name that you can use for your Revolt server.
  3. A valid SSL certificate for your domain name.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To start, we need to install some packages that are necessary for Revolt to run.

sudo dnf install -y git curl tar gzip

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Next, clone the Revolt repository from GitHub to your server.

git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt.git ~/revolt

Step 3: Install Rust

Revolt is written in Rust, so you need to install the Rust compiler to build and run the server.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Alternatively, you can install Rust from your distribution's repository.

sudo dnf install -y rust

Step 4: Build Revolt

Once Rust is installed, we can now build the Revolt server and its dependencies.

cd ~/revolt
cargo build --release

The build process may take several minutes, depending on your server's performance.

Step 5: Configure Revolt

Now that Revolt is built, we need to configure it to use our domain name and SSL certificate. Copy the example configuration file to a new file named .env.

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file to match your domain name and SSL certificate.

nano .env

DOMAIN=mydomain.com
SSL_CERT=/path/to/mydomain.com.crt
SSL_KEY=/path/to/mydomain.com.key

Save and close the editor.

Step 6: Run Revolt

Finally, we can start the Revolt server.

./target/release/revolt start

Revolt will listen on port 80 and 443 by default. You should be able to access your Revolt server using your domain name in your web browser.

If you encounter any issues, you can check the server logs by running:

./target/release/revolt logs

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