Installing Blog from https://github.com/m1k1o on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Blog from https://github.com/m1k1o on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest.
• An active internet connection.

Step 1: Clone the Blog Repository

First, we need to clone the Blog repository from Github. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/blog.git

This will clone the entire repository in your current directory.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Blog has different dependencies that are required to run correctly. Therefore, make sure to install them before running the application.

To install the required dependencies, run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel

Step 3: Create a Virtual Environment

It is always best to create a virtual environment for any Python based application. A virtual environment makes sure that the application runs only in a specified environment and does not affect other packages.

To create a virtual environment, run the following command:

$ python3 -m venv env

This command will create a new directory env in your current directory, which will house your virtual environment.

Next, activate the virtual environment with the following command:

$ source env/bin/activate

Step 4: Install Python Modules

After setting up the virtual environment, we need to install the required Python modules. To install them, run the following command:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all Python modules required to run the application.

Step 5: Create a Config File

Before running the application, we need to create a configuration file. A configuration file is responsible for setting up different settings in the application, including the database connection settings.

To create a configuration file, navigate to the config directory, and copy the example configuration file to a new file.

$ cd config
$ cp example_config.py local_config.py

After copying the example configuration file, open the local_config.py file in a text editor and set up the different values according to your setup.

Step 6: Initialize the Database

After creating the configuration file, we need to initialize the database. To do this, run the following command:

$ python3 manage.py db upgrade

This command will create the necessary tables in the database.

Step 7: Run the Application

After completing all previous steps, we can finally run the application. To run the application, simply execute the following command:

$ python3 manage.py runserver

You should see the message Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ displayed on your terminal, which indicates that the application is running.

You can now open a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to see the Blog application running on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we covered the steps required to install Blog from https://github.com/m1k1o on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Now, you can start customizing and using the Blog application for your needs.
