How to Install StackStorm on Fedora Server Latest

StackStorm is an open-source automation platform that allows you to automate your Infrastructure and Operations tasks. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install StackStorm on a Fedora server.

Prerequisites

Before installing StackStorm on your Fedora server, you should have the following:

  • A Fedora server installed and running
  • A user account with sudo privileges
  • A stable internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following commands:

sudo dnf install epel-release -y
sudo dnf upgrade -y
sudo dnf install -y git python3 python3-devel python3-pip openssl-devel libffi-devel gcc redhat-rpm-config

Step 2: Install RabbitMQ

StackStorm requires a message broker to handle communication between different components. RabbitMQ is our recommended message broker. To install RabbitMQ, run the following command:

sudo dnf install rabbitmq-server -y
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server

Step 3: Install StackStorm

Now it's time to install StackStorm. Run the following commands to download and install StackStorm:

wget -qO- https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | bash

This script will install all the required packages and dependencies for StackStorm.

Step 4: Start StackStorm Services

Once the installation is complete, you need to start the StackStorm services. Run the following command to start all StackStorm services:

sudo systemctl start st2
sudo systemctl enable st2
sudo systemctl start st2sensorcontainer
sudo systemctl enable st2sensorcontainer

Step 5: Configure StackStorm

Now that StackStorm is installed and running, you need to configure it. Run the following commands to set up the StackStorm credentials:

sudo st2ctl reload
sudo st2ctl start
sudo st2ctl config user add basic_auth_user -p basic_auth_password --role admin

Step 6: Test StackStorm

Finally, we can test if StackStorm is working correctly. Run the following command to check the status of StackStorm:

sudo st2ctl status

If everything is working correctly, you should see a message indicating that StackStorm is running successfully.

Conclusion
