Apache is a free and open source web server software that is commonly used to serve web pages. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Apache on Fedora CoreOS.
Before starting to install Apache on your Fedora CoreOS instance, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The first step is to update the system to ensure that you have the latest packages installed. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo rpm-ostree refresh-md
After updating the system, you can install the Apache web server by running the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install httpd
This command will install Apache on your Fedora CoreOS instance.
After the installation process is complete, you can start the Apache web server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd
This command will start the server and make it accessible on your network.
If you want Apache to start automatically when the system boots up, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
By default, Apache listens on port 80, so you need to open this port on your firewall to access your web server. Run the following command to allow incoming traffic to port 80:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
This command will open port 80 on your firewall and allow incoming HTTP traffic.
To verify that Apache is installed and running correctly, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS instance in the address bar. You should see the default Apache test page.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps to install and configure Apache on Fedora CoreOS. Now you can start using Apache to serve web pages on your Fedora CoreOS instance.
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!
