EpochTalk is an open-source platform for online forums, built with Node.js and React. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install EpochTalk on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
First, we need to install the necessary environment requirements for running EpochTalk on Fedora CoreOS. To achieve this, execute the following set of commands:
sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install nodejs
sudo dnf install npm
Next, clone the EpochTalk GitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk.git
cd epochtalk
Before starting the installation process, let's first configure the system. The /etc/sysctl.conf file needs to be modified to increase the number of allowed file descriptors.
Execute the following command to change the fs.file-max value to 1000000:
sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=1000000
Then create a new file /etc/security/limits.d/99-epochtalk.conf with the following contents:
epochtalk soft nofile 1000000
epochtalk hard nofile 1000000
This will define the maximum number of files that epochtalk user can open.
EpochTalk utilizes Docker and Docker-Compose for the deployment of the application. We need to install Docker and Docker-Compose, so execute the following commands:
sudo dnf install docker
sudo dnf install docker-compose
Then you will have to start the docker service and enable it:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Finally, after following all the above steps, we are ready to start the application. Execute the following command to launch the application:
docker-compose up
Now, you should be able to access EpochTalk using a browser at http://
sudo docker-compose up
That's it! You have successfully installed EpochTalk on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now customize the application according to your needs and enjoy the various features it offers.
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!
