How to Install DockSTARTer on Fedora CoreOS

DockSTARTer is a collection of scripts that help you easily deploy various types of applications using Docker. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install DockSTARTer on Fedora CoreOS.

Requirements

Step 1 — Connect to the Server

First, log in to your server using SSH:

ssh root@your_server_ip

Step 2 — Install Docker

Before we start installing DockSTARTer, we need to make sure that Docker is installed on the server.

Use the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

This command installs the latest version of Docker on your Fedora CoreOS server.

Step 3 — Install Git

To install DockSTARTer, we need Git installed on the server. Run the following command to install Git:

sudo rpm-ostree install git

Step 4 — Clone DockSTARTer

The next step is to clone the DockSTARTer repository from GitHub. Run the following commands to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer.git

After the repository is cloned, we need to enter the DockSTARTer directory using:

cd DockSTARTer

Step 5 — Configure DockSTARTer

Before we can use DockSTARTer, we need to configure it. The DockSTARTer has a config.yml file that we need to edit.

Run the following command:

nano config.yml

In the config.yml file, change PUID and PGID to your own user ID and group ID. You can get this information by running the id command:

id

The output should look like:

uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) groups=1000(username)

We need to replace PUID with 1000 and PGID with 1000.

You can also modify other options in the config.yml file, such as the default network, DNS server, and timezone.

Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, Y, and Enter.

Step 6 — Start DockSTARTer

After we have configured the DockSTARTer, we can now start it by running the following command:

./main.sh

The script will start the installation process and prompt you to choose which applications to install. You can also install all applications by typing all or select individual applications by typing their number.

After you have selected the applications you want to install, the script will install and configure them for you.
