How to install Tracim on Fedora Server Latest

Tracim is an open-source collaborative platform designed for organizing and sharing content within a team. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Tracim on Fedora Server latest.

Prerequisites

• Fedora Server Latest installed
• Access to the root user account or sudo privileges

Step 1: Update the system

Before installing Tracim, it is essential to update your system to the latest packages, use the following command to upgrade your system:

sudo dnf upgrade && sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install required dependencies

To run Tracim, we need to install required dependencies. The following command will install all the necessary packages:

sudo dnf install -y python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel git gcc

Step 3: Install and configure PostgreSQL

Tracim requires a PostgreSQL database to run. Follow the steps below to install and configure PostgreSQL on your system:

Install PostgreSQL

sudo dnf install -y postgresql-server 

Start and enable PostgreSQL service

sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

Create a new PostgreSQL user

sudo -u postgres createuser -P tracim

Create a new PostgreSQL database

sudo -u postgres createdb --owner=tracim tracimdb

Edit PostgreSQL configuration file

sudo nano /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

Find the following lines and change the IPv4 and IPv6 methods to "trust":

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

Save the file and exit.

Restart PostgreSQL service

sudo systemctl restart postgresql

Step 4: Create and activate a Python virtual environment

We'll create a virtual environment to isolate Tracim's dependencies from the system.

Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv tracim-env

Activate the virtual environment

source tracim-env/bin/activate

Step 5: Install Tracim

Clone the most recent version of Tracim's source code from its GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim

Now, install Tracim and its dependencies using pip:

cd tracim
pip install wheel
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Step 6: Configure Tracim

You need to provide some essential inputs to Tracim before running it. Create a configuration file config.py in the instance directory:

mkdir instance
nano instance/config.py

Add the following entries to the file:

SERVER_NAME = "your_domain.com"
SECRET_KEY = 'super_secret_key_goes_here'
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql+psycopg2://tracim:[password]@localhost/tracimdb'

Replace [password] with the password you set for the tracim user when installing PostgreSQL.

Save the file and exit.

Step 7: Run Tracim

Finally, you can run Tracim on the local machine at http://127.0.0.1:5000.

python run.py

To deploy Tracim on a production server, follow the official documentation provided by Tracim.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Tracim on Fedora Server Latest. You can now organize and share content within your team using Tracim.
