How to Install Framadate on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Framadate, a free and open-source online polling application, on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest installed and configured on your system.
• Root or sudo user access privileges.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To install Framadate on your Fedora CoreOS Latest, you need to install some required packages such as Apache, MySQL, PHP, and some PHP extensions.

To install these packages, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo dnf install httpd mysql-server php php-mysql php-pdo php-gd php-xml php-common php-mbstring php-bcmath php-json php-intl php-zip

Step 2: Download and Extract Framadate

Now, you need to download Framadate from the official website.

$ wget https://framadate.org/abc/framadate-latest.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the Framadate package using the following command:

$ tar -zxvf framadate-latest.tar.gz

Now move the extracted directory to the Apache's default document root directory:

$ sudo mv framadate-*/ /var/www/html/framadate

Step 3: Create MySQL Database

Now, we will create a MySQL database for Framadate and grant permissions to the database user.

To create the database, log in to the MySQL command-line tool:

$ mysql -u root -p

Once you are logged in, create a new database:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE framadate;

Next, create a new user and grant permissions to the database:

mysql> GRANT ALL ON framadate.* TO 'framadateuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';

Replace yourpassword with your desired password.

Step 4: Configure Apache for Framadate

To configure Apache for Framadate, create a new virtual host configuration file for Framadate:

$ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/framadate.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/framadate
    ServerName example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/framadate_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/framadate_access.log combined

    <Directory /var/www/html/framadate>
       AllowOverride All
       Options FollowSymLinks
       Require all granted
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Configure Framadate

Now, we need to configure Framadate to use the database that we have created earlier.

Open the config.php file:

$ sudo nano /var/www/html/framadate/app/inc/config.php

Add the following content to the file:

<?php

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'framadate';
$dbuser = 'framadateuser';
$dbpass = 'yourpassword';

$salt = 'yourrandomsalt';

?>

Make sure to replace yourpassword and yourrandomsalt with your desired password and salt, respectively.

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Enable and Start Services

To enable and start the Apache and MySQL services, run the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl enable httpd
$ sudo systemctl start httpd

$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb
$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

Step 7: Access Framadate

Now, open your web browser and navigate to your Framadate website using the following URL:

http://your-ip-address/framadate/

You should now see the Framadate welcome page.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Framadate on your Fedora CoreOS Latest.

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!
