Installing EteSync Web on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Introduction

EteSync is an open-source, secure, and end-to-end encrypted data synchronization service. With EteSync Web, users can access their EteSync accounts using a web browser. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing EteSync Web on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS
• Access to the command line with administrative privileges

Installation

1. Begin by opening a terminal window on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
2. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

   sudo rpm-ostree install wget curl jq
   

3. Next, navigate to the desired installation directory by running the following command:

   cd /opt
   

4. Download the latest release of EteSync Web using the following command:

   sudo wget https://github.com/etesync/web/releases/latest/download/etesync-web.tar.gz
   

5. Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

   sudo tar -xzf etesync-web.tar.gz
   

6. Navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:

   cd etesync-web
   

7. Start the EteSync Web server by running the following command:

   sudo ./etesync-web serve
   

Configuration

By default, EteSync Web uses a self-signed SSL certificate. This may cause issues with some web browsers. To avoid this issue, you can configure EteSync Web to use a valid SSL certificate.

1. Obtain a valid SSL certificate and copy it to the /opt/etesync-web/certs directory of your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
2. Edit the /opt/etesync-web/config.toml file and uncomment the following lines:

   # url = "https://localhost:8002"
   # use_local_https = true
   # https_cert_path = "/opt/etesync-web/certs/localhost.cert"
   # https_key_path = "/opt/etesync-web/certs/localhost.key"
   

3. Replace the https_cert_path and https_key_path values with the paths to your SSL certificate and key files.
4. Save and close the file.
5. Restart the EteSync Web server by running the following command:

   sudo ./etesync-web serve
   

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured EteSync Web on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. You can now access your EteSync account using a web browser by navigating to https://localhost:8002 (or your configured URL) in your web browser.
