How to Install Appwrite on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Appwrite is an open-source backend server that simplifies the development of web and mobile applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Appwrite on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, make sure you have the following:

• A server or VM running the latest version of Fedora CoreOS
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Docker

Appwrite runs as a Docker container. Therefore, we need to install Docker on our Fedora CoreOS machine.

1. Open a terminal session on your Fedora CoreOS machine.
2. Type the following command:

$ sudo rpm-ostree install docker

This command will download and install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS machine.

3. Start and enable the Docker service by typing:

$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Install Appwrite

Now that Docker is installed and running, we can proceed to install Appwrite.

1. Open a terminal session on your Fedora CoreOS machine.
2. Type the following command to get the Appwrite Docker image:

$ sudo docker pull appwrite/appwrite

This command will download the latest Appwrite Docker image from the Docker Hub, which may take a few minutes, depending on your internet connection.

3. After the download, you can check if the image was successfully downloaded by typing:

$ sudo docker images

This command will give you a list of all Docker images installed on your machine, and you should see the Appwrite image in the list.

Step 3: Run Appwrite

Now that we have installed the Appwrite Docker image, we can run it by typing the following command in the terminal:

$ sudo docker run -it --rm --env="APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:80" --env="APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=default" --env="APPWRITE_API_KEY=1234567890" -p 80:80 appwrite/appwrite

This command will run the Appwrite server container in interactive mode (with the -it flag), will expose port 80 (with the -p 80:80 flag), and will remove the container when it stops (with the --rm flag).

The environment variables APPWRITE_ENDPOINT, APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID, and APPWRITE_API_KEY are used to configure the Appwrite server. Change these values accordingly, as per your needs.

Step 4: Test Appwrite

Once you have started the Appwrite container, you can open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/ to access the Appwrite dashboard.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Appwrite on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. With Appwrite, you can now easily create and manage backend services for your web and mobile applications.
