Docspell is a powerful open-source document management system. Installing Docspell on Fedora CoreOS is very easy, and this tutorial will guide you through the installation process.
Before installing Docspell, you need to make sure that the following requirements are met:
Docspell requires Docker to run, so the first step is to install Docker on your instance of Fedora CoreOS.
Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
You can verify that Docker is running by typing the following command:
sudo docker ps
This will display a list of running Docker containers.
The next step is to create a Docker network for Docspell. Run the following command to create a network:
sudo docker network create docspell-net
This will create a network with the name "docspell-net". You can check that the network was created by running the following command:
sudo docker network ls
To download and run the Docspell Docker image, use the following command:
sudo docker run -d \
--name docspell \
-v /path/to/data:/data \
-p 8080:8080 \
--network docspell-net \
docspell/docspell
Replace "/path/to/data" with the path to your data directory on your server. This directory will contain all of your Docspell documents.
The "-p 8080:8080" flag maps the Docspell container's internal port to port 8080 on the host machine.
Once the container is running, you can check its status by typing the following command:
sudo docker ps
This will show you the status of the Docspell container.
To access Docspell, open your web browser and navigate to "http://[server-ip]:8080", where "server-ip" is the IP address of your server. You should see the Docspell login page.
Log in with the default credentials "admin" and "admin", and you should be able to start using Docspell.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Docspell on your Fedora CoreOS instance.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
