How to Install AsmBB on Fedora CoreOS Latest

AsmBB is a free and open-source bulletin board software written in Assembly 32-bit code. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install AsmBB on a Fedora CoreOS Latest system, using Docker and Docker Compose.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You have administrative access to a Fedora CoreOS Latest system
• Docker and Docker Compose are installed on the system

Step 1: Clone the AsmBB Docker repository

The first step is to clone the AsmBB Docker repository to your Fedora CoreOS system.

Open your terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/tianocore/duetdocker-asm32bb

This will clone the repository to your current directory.

Step 2: Create an AsmBB configuration file

Create a new file called config.txt in the duetdocker-asm32bb directory using the following command:

touch duetdocker-asm32bb/config.txt

Open the newly created config.txt file using a text editor:

nano duetdocker-asm32bb/config.txt

Paste the following content into the file:

board_name=AsmBB
board_desc=A Bulletin Board written in Assembly!
admin_id=admin
admin_password=password

This configuration file sets the name and description of the board, as well as the username and password for the administrator account.

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Build the Docker image for AsmBB

Change your current directory to the duetdocker-asm32bb directory:

cd duetdocker-asm32bb

Build the Docker image for AsmBB using the following command:

docker build -t asm32bb .

This command will download the required dependencies and build the Docker image.

Step 4: Run AsmBB using Docker Compose

Create a new file called docker-compose.yaml using the following command:

nano docker-compose.yaml

Paste the following content into the file:

version: '3'
services:
  asm32bb:
    image: asm32bb
    container_name: asm32bb
    environment:
      - WEBSITE_NAME=AsmBB
      - MY_IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - ./config.txt:/root/asm32bb/asm32bb/config.txt
    restart: always

This Docker Compose configuration file sets the environment variables WEBSITE_NAME and MY_IP_ADDR, maps the port 80 of the container to the port 80 of the host system, and mounts the config.txt configuration file as a volume.

Save and close the file.

Start the AsmBB container in detached mode using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

This command will start the AsmBB container in detached mode, which means that it will run in the background.

Step 5: Access AsmBB through a web browser

Open a web browser on your local machine and navigate to the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS system, using port 80.

http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80

You should see the AsmBB installation page, where you can set up your bulletin board.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed AsmBB on a Fedora CoreOS Latest system, using Docker and Docker Compose. Now you can start using AsmBB to create and manage your own bulletin board.

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!
