FreeRADIUS is an open source, high-performance, and highly configurable RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server used for authenticating users and devices to a network. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install FreeRADIUS on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before installing any software, make sure that your package manager is up-to-date. Run the following command:
$ sudo dnf update -y
This command will update your package manager and all the software installed on your system.
To install FreeRADIUS on Fedora CoreOS Latest, run the following command:
$ sudo dnf install freeradius freeradius-utils -y

Now that FreeRADIUS is installed on your system, you need to configure it. The configuration files for FreeRADIUS are located in the /etc/raddb directory. You can edit the configuration files using your favorite text editor. For example, to edit the radiusd.conf file, use the following command:
$ sudo vi /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
You can also use any other text editor of your choice.
Once you have configured FreeRADIUS, start and enable the service using the following commands:
$ sudo systemctl start radiusd
$ sudo systemctl enable radiusd
The start command will start the FreeRADIUS service, and the enable command will ensure that the service starts automatically at boot time.
