Alf.io is a free and open-source event management software that can be used for organizing events, conferences, and workshops. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Alf.io on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we begin, please make sure you have the following prerequisites ready:
Alf.io is a Docker-based application, and we will need to install both Docker and Docker Compose to run it. We can install Docker by running the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
Once Docker is installed, we can install Docker Compose by running the following command:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, we will need to clone the Alf.io repository to our server. We can do this by running the following command:
git clone git://github.com/alfio-event/alf.io-docker.git
Then, navigate into the newly created directory:
cd alf.io-docker
We will now need to configure Alf.io by creating a .env file. This file should contain the environment variables required by Alf.io to function properly. We can create this file by running the following command:
cp .env.sample .env
Then, open the .env file in a text editor of your choice (e.g., nano, vim, etc.) and modify the following variables according to your needs:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
MYSQL_DATABASE=alfio_db
MYSQL_USER=alfio_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=alfio_password
With the configuration complete, we can now start Alf.io by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will start the required Docker containers in detached mode, allowing Alf.io to run in the background.
Finally, we can verify that Alf.io is running by visiting the Alf.io Dashboard in our web browser. To do this, simply navigate to http://<your-server-ip>:8080 in your preferred browser.
If everything was successful, you should see the Alf.io login page. You can now log in with the default credentials (admin/admin) and start using Alf.io for organizing your events.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Alf.io on Fedora CoreOS Latest. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you, and we wish you the best of luck with your event planning.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
