DailyTxT is a lightweight tool for generating daily reports on Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install DailyTxT on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
We need to install some packages that are required for DailyTxT to function. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo dnf install git cronie
Clone the DailyTxT repository in your home directory by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PhiTux/DailyTxT.git ~/DailyTxT
Now we need to configure DailyTxT by editing the config.sh file. Open the file with your favorite text editor:
nano ~/DailyTxT/config.sh
In this file, you can modify the following variables according to your requirements:
REPORT_DIR: The directory where reports will be saved.TEXT_EDITOR: The text editor that will be used to edit the report files.By default, DailyTxT generates reports for the day before. If you want to change this, you can modify the DAYS_BACK variable.
Save and exit the file.
Before we schedule DailyTxT, we need to test if it's working fine. To generate a report for today, run the following command:
~/DailyTxT/DailyTxT.sh
This will generate a report in the directory specified in the REPORT_DIR variable.
To generate daily reports automatically, we will use the cron utility. Run the following command to open the crontab file:
crontab -e
This will open the crontab file in your default text editor. Add the following line at the end of the file:
0 0 * * * ~/DailyTxT/DailyTxT.sh
This will schedule DailyTxT to run every day at midnight. Save and exit the file.
You have successfully installed and configured DailyTxT on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Daily reports will now be generated automatically in the directory specified in the REPORT_DIR variable.
