Baby Buddy is a free and open-source baby tracker software that allows parents to track their baby's feedings, diaper changes, sleep patterns, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Baby Buddy on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Baby Buddy is a Dockerized application; therefore, we need to install Docker on our Fedora CoreOS system. To do so, run the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
Once you have installed Docker, start the Docker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Baby Buddy is available on GitHub; therefore, we need to install Git to clone its repository. To install Git on Fedora CoreOS, run the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install git
After installing Git, we need to clone Baby Buddy repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy.git
After cloning the repository, we need to configure Baby Buddy by creating a .env file. We can do so by running the following command:
cd babybuddy/
cp contrib/sample.env .env
After copying the sample environment file, we need to update the .env file with our configuration details. You can edit the file using your preferred text editor. For instance, run the following command:
nano .env
After configuring Baby Buddy, we can now run it by executing the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download the Baby Buddy Docker image and start the application.
After running Baby Buddy, you can access it by navigating to http://<your-fcos-ip>:8000 from your web browser.
