How to Install Coral on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Coral is an open-source platform designed to help news organizations build and sustain better communities around their content. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Coral on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following:

• A working installation of Fedora CoreOS
• A terminal or console with SSH access to the server
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Step 1: Install Docker

Coral Project requires Docker to run. If you haven't installed Docker, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo dnf install docker

You will be asked to confirm the installation by typing y. Once the installation is complete, start Docker and enable it to run at boot:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Create a Coral Data Volume

In order to store and persist Coral data, you need to create a Docker volume. Run the following command to create the volume:

sudo docker volume create coral-data

Step 3: Clone Coral Project

Clone the Coral Project repository from GitHub by running the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk.git

Step 4: Configure Coral

Before running Coral, you need to configure it according to your needs. There are two files to configure: docker-compose.yml and config.env. You can find sample configurations in the examples directory. Copy these files from the examples directory to the Coral Project directory:

cd talk
sudo cp examples/docker-compose.yml .
sudo cp examples/config.env .

Next, open the config.env file and edit the variables to fit your needs. For example, set the BASE_URL and TALK_ROOT_URL variables to your domain name:

BASE_URL=https://example.com
TALK_ROOT_URL=https://example.com

Step 5: Build and Run Coral

Once you have configured Coral according to your needs, you can build and run it by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will build the Coral containers and start them in the background. To stop the Coral containers, run the command:

sudo docker-compose down

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Coral on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS! You can now utilize the powerful features of Coral to build and sustain better communities around your content.
