Chirpy is a platform for building and deploying real-time web applications, using Node.js and Socket.io. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Chirpy on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we start the installation process, you will need:
Start by updating your system to the latest version with the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Chirpy requires Node.js to run. We will use the NodeSource repository to install the latest version of Node.js.
To enable the Node.js repository, run the following command:
sudo dnf -y install curl dnf-plugins-core
sudo curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo bash -
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
Verify that Node.js is installed by running the following command:
node --version
This will display the version number of Node.js that is installed.
To install Chirpy, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g chirpy
To run Chirpy, navigate to the directory where you want to create your Chirpy project:
cd /path/to/your/project/directory
Create a new Chirpy project:
chirpy new myproject
Navigate to the newly created project directory:
cd myproject
Start the Chirpy server:
chirpy start
You should see output similar to the following:
Listening on http://localhost:3000
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chirpy on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now start building and deploying real-time web applications using Chirpy.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
