How to Install GNU FM on Fedora CoreOS Latest

GNU FM is a free/libre web-based platform for broadcasting, collecting and sharing shuffling music broadcasted by users. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install GNU FM on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have a few things in place:

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest system
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

GNU FM requires the following dependencies to be installed on your system:

• Apache or Nginx web server
• PHP 7.2 or greater
• MariaDB or MySQL database server

Update your system to the latest version and install these dependencies by running:

sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y nginx mariadb mariadb-server php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-pear php-common wget

Step 2: Install GNU FM

Download the latest stable version of GNU FM by running the following command:

wget -O gnufm-latest.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnufm/gnufm-latest.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded tarball to a directory /var/www/html/gnufm:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/gnufm
sudo tar -xzf gnufm-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/gnufm --strip-components=1
sudo rm gnufm-latest.tar.gz

Step 3: Create a MariaDB Database and User

Log in to your MariaDB or MySQL database server with the following command:

sudo mysql -u root

Create a MariaDB database for GNU FM:

CREATE DATABASE gnufm;

Create a user and grant this user permission to access the newly created database:

CREATE USER 'gnufmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON gnufm.* TO 'gnufmuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Step 4: Configure Web Server

Edit the nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following lines in the http{ } section:

server {
    listen         80;
    server_name    example.com;
    root           /var/www/html/gnufm;
    index          index.php;
 
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Replace example.com with your actual domain name. Save and close the file.

Restart the nginx and php-fpm services:

sudo systemctl restart nginx php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable nginx php-fpm

Step 5: Configure GNU FM

Edit the config.php file located in /var/www/html/gnufm/conf and update the following settings:

• $db_type - Change the value to mysql
• $db_host - Change the value to localhost
• $db_name - Change the value to gnufm
• $db_user - Change the value to gnufmuser
• $db_password - Change the value to the password you set for the gnufmuser user in Step 3.

Save and close the file.
