DOCAT is a utility that helps you to transfer data across two hosts connected over the internet. It can be used for file transfer, remote shell, and remote execution of commands. DOCAT is an open-source tool, and you can download its code from GitHub. This tutorial will guide you on how to install DOCAT on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you start, ensure:
The first step is to update the Fedora CoreOS package manager, so it's able to find the latest available packages. Run the following command to update the package manager:
sudo rpm-ostree update
DOCAT is written in Golang, so we'll need it to execute it on Fedora CoreOS. Additionally, we need to install Git to download DOCAT's code. Run the following command to install both Git and Go:
sudo rpm-ostree install git golang
Next, we'll clone the DOCAT repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the code to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/docat-org/docat.git
In this step, we will use the 'go' utility to compile and install the DOCAT binary. Run the following command to compile the DOCAT source code:
cd docat
sudo go build -o /usr/local/bin/docat
The command will create the DOCAT binary at /usr/local/bin/docat. You can verify that DOCAT is installed correctly by running the following command:
docat -h
The command should output the help text for DOCAT, indicating that it's installed correctly.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed DOCAT on Fedora CoreOS Latest!
