CasaOS is a powerful and customizable operating system designed for home automation and smart home control. If you're running Fedora CoreOS and want to install CasaOS for your smart home, this tutorial will walk you through the process.
If you haven't already, follow the instructions to install Fedora CoreOS on your device or server. Ensure the version you're using is the latest one available.
Go to the CasaOS website and download the latest CasaOS image to your device.
You need to install the Disk Image Writer tool to write the CasaOS image to your device's storage. Ensure that the tool is available in your system's repository by running the following command:
sudo dnf install -y liveusb-creator
Now, plug in a removable USB drive with at least 8GB of free space. Open the Disk Image Writer tool by searching for "disks" on your system's menu launch or by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo liveusb-creator
Select the USB drive from the list of available drives, click on "Select Image," then navigate to the location where you saved the CasaOS image downloaded in Step 2. Select the image file and click the "Write to Disk" button to begin the installation process. Wait for the process to complete.
Now, restart your device and boot from the USB drive with CasaOS installed. Ensure that the device is set to boot from USB in its BIOS configuration. When the device boots, you should be prompted to login to the system.
Once you log in to the system, you can start to configure CasaOS according to your needs. CasaOS provides an intuitive web-based user interface that you can access remotely from any device on your network.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured CasaOS on Fedora CoreOS, and it's time to start your smart home automation. Enjoy!
