How to Install Atheos on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Atheos is a web-based code editor that provides an efficient and customizable environment for coding. It is easy to install and use on various operating systems, including Fedora CoreOS.

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Atheos on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:

Step 1: Install Apache2

The first step is to install Apache2 on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. To install Apache2, run the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd

After the installation is completed, start the Apache2 service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

Finally, enable the Apache2 service to start automatically on system boot by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 2: Install PHP

After installing Apache2, the next step is to install PHP. To install PHP, run the following command:

sudo dnf install php-fpm php-json php-zip php-mbstring php-gd php-xml -y

After the installation is completed, start the PHP-FPM service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start php-fpm

Finally, enable the PHP-FPM service to start automatically on system boot by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable php-fpm

Step 3: Install MariaDB

The next step is to install the MariaDB database server. To do this, run the following command:

sudo dnf install mariadb-server -y

After the installation is completed, start the MariaDB service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Finally, enable the MariaDB service to start automatically on system boot by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 4: Configure MariaDB

After installing the MariaDB server, it is essential to secure it by running the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts to set the root password, remove the anonymous user, restrict remote access to the database server, and remove test databases and users.

Next, create a new database for Atheos by running the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted, and then execute the following SQL commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges:

CREATE DATABASE atheos;
CREATE USER 'atheosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-secure-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON atheos.* TO 'atheosuser'@'localhost';

Replace 'your-secure-password' with a strong password of your choice.

Finally, exit the MySQL client by running the following command:

exit

Step 5: Install Atheos

Download the latest version of Atheos from the official website:

wget -O atheos.zip https://download.atheos.io/latest.zip

After downloading, extract the zip file to Apache2's default root directory:

sudo unzip atheos.zip -d /var/www/html/

Change the ownership of the atheos directory to the Apache user (usually apache or httpd):

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/atheos

Step 6: Configure Atheos

Navigate to the Atheos installation directory and open the config.json file with your editor:

cd /var/www/html/atheos
sudo nano config.json

Update the port and url values to reflect your server's IP address and port (usually 80):

{
    "server": {
        "port": 80,
        "url": "http://your-server-ip"
    },
    "email": false,
    "allow_origins": ["*"],
    "project_permissions": false,
    "allow_file_listing": true
}

Save and close the file.

Step 7: Configure Apache2

Open the Apache2 configuration file with your editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Navigate to the bottom of the file and add the following lines to enable PHP-FPM and set the document root to the Atheos directory:

<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
</FilesMatch>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/atheos"

Save and close the file.

Restart the Apache2 service for the new configuration to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 8: Access Atheos

Open your web browser and navigate to the URL you configured in Step 6. You should see the Atheos login page.

Login with the new account you configured in Step 4 or use the default credentials:

Username: admin
Password: admin

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Atheos on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
