Tutorial: How to Install Chatwoot on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Chatwoot is a powerful and open-source customer support tool that allows businesses to manage their customer interactions with ease. It is ideal for startups, small businesses or large enterprises. Installing Chatwoot on Fedora CoreOS is easy and simple, and this tutorial will guide you through the process step-by-step.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Access to a Fedora CoreOS instance, either on a local machine or a remote server.
• A user account with administrator privileges.
• A basic understanding of Linux commands and command-line interface.

Step 1: Install Docker

Chatwoot is built on Docker, which means you will need to have Docker installed on your Fedora CoreOS instance before you install Chatwoot. You can install Docker by running the following command:

sudo dnf install docker -y

Once Docker is installed, start the Docker service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 2: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to manage multiple Docker containers as a single application. You will need to install Docker Compose as well. To install Docker Compose, run the following command:

sudo dnf install docker-compose -y

Step 3: Download the Chatwoot Docker Compose Files

Create a new directory where you will store the required files for Chatwoot. For example, you can create a directory called chatwoot:

mkdir ~/chatwoot
cd ~/chatwoot

Download the Chatwoot Docker Compose files using the following GitHub command:

git clone https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot.git

You now have the Chatwoot Docker Compose files downloaded to your ~/chatwoot/chatwoot directory.

Step 4: Start Chatwoot

Now that you have everything installed and set up, you can start Chatwoot. To start Chatwoot, navigate to the ~/chatwoot/chatwoot directory (where you cloned the Chatwoot Docker Compose files):

cd ~/chatwoot/chatwoot

Start Chatwoot using the following command:

sudo docker-compose up

This command downloads the necessary dependencies, starts the required containers, and starts the Chatwoot application.

Step 5: Access Chatwoot

Once the Chatwoot application is running, you can access the Chatwoot web interface by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:

http://localhost:3000

This will take you to the Chatwoot login page, where you can log in and start using the application.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed and set up Chatwoot on your Fedora CoreOS instance. You can now use Chatwoot to manage your customer interactions and support requests.
