Domoticz is a popular open-source home automation software package that allows you to control and monitor various devices in your home, such as lights, thermostats, switches, and sensors. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install Domoticz on Fedora CoreOS.
First, connect to your Fedora CoreOS instance using an SSH client. If you don't have one installed, you can use PuTTY for Windows or OpenSSH for Linux and Mac.
Open your terminal (for Linux and Mac) or PuTTY (for Windows) and type the following command:
ssh your_user@your_server_ip
Replace your_user with your username and your_server_ip with your server's IP address.
If this is your first time connecting to the server, you will be prompted to accept the SSH key fingerprint.
Once you have connected to your Fedora CoreOS instance, follow the steps below to install Domoticz.
Install the required dependencies with the following command:
sudo dnf install epel-release
Install the Domoticz package using the following command:
sudo dnf install domoticz
Start the Domoticz service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start domoticz
Check the status of the Domoticz service with the following command:
sudo systemctl status domoticz
If everything is working correctly, the output should show that the service is active and running.
Enable the Domoticz service to start automatically at boot with the following command:
sudo systemctl enable domoticz
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Domoticz on Fedora CoreOS.
To configure Domoticz, open your web browser and go to http://your_server_ip:8080. Replace your_server_ip with your server's IP address.
You should see the Domoticz dashboard, where you can start configuring your devices and adding new ones.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Domoticz on Fedora CoreOS. After following these steps, you should be able to configure and use Domoticz to control and monitor devices in your home.
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!
