How to Install Directus on Fedora CoreOS Latest?

Directus is a powerful and flexible headless CMS that provides a user-friendly interface for managing your content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Directus on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that:

  1. You have a working instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
  2. You have a terminal window open on your system
  3. You have sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Docker

Directus runs in a containerized environment, so we need to install Docker first. To do that, run the following command:

sudo dnf -y install docker

Step 2: Enable Docker Service

To enable the Docker service, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 3: Download Directus

To download Directus, we need to use the Docker command. To do that, run the following command:

sudo docker pull directus/directus

Step 4: Create a Docker Container

To create a Docker container for Directus, run the following command:

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 directus/directus

This command creates a Directus container and exposes port 8080 to the host system.

Step 5: Access Directus

Now that the Directus container is up and running, we can access it by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. If you want to access Directus from a remote system or network, allow port 8080 in your firewall settings.

Step 6: Configure Directus

The first time you access Directus, you will be prompted to create an account. After creating an account, you can configure Directus to suit your needs by adding databases, managing collections and fields, and creating users.
