How to Install Gotify on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Gotify is a self-hosted push notification service for various platforms. It's a lightweight and open-source application written in Go. It's easy to install and use, making it a popular choice for many users. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Gotify on Fedora CoreOS Latest:

Step 1: Set Up a Docker Environment

Before installing Gotify on Fedora CoreOS Latest, you'll need to set up a Docker environment. You can install Docker using the following command:

sudo dnf install docker

After installing Docker, start the Docker service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

You can also enable Docker to start at boot time with the following command:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Install and Run Gotify

After setting up the Docker environment, you can install and run Gotify using these steps:

  1. Pull the Gotify image from Docker Hub:

    docker pull gotify/server
    
  2. Create a directory where you'll store the Gotify configuration and database files. For example:

    sudo mkdir /var/lib/gotify
    sudo chown 1000:1000 /var/lib/gotify
    

    Note: The chown command sets the directory's ownership to user ID 1000, which is the ID used inside the Gotify container.

  3. Create a Gotify configuration file config.yml in the /var/lib/gotify directory:

    sudo vi /var/lib/gotify/config.yml
    

    Add the following contents to the file:

    database:
      driver: sqlite3
      datasource: /data/gotify.db
    
    server:
      port: 80
      ssl:
        disable: true
      path: ./gotify
      key: ""
      cert: ""
    
    authentication:
      disable_registration: false
      users:
        - username: admin
          password: <ENTER_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>
          admin: true
    

    Note: The authentication section defines the default admin user. Change the admin user's password to something more secure. Save the file after editing.

  4. Run Gotify using the Docker command:

    docker run -d \
       --name=gotify \
       --restart=always \
       -v /var/lib/gotify:/app/data \
       -p 80:80 \
       gotify/server
    

    Note: This starts Gotify as a Docker container named gotify, with the restart policy set to always. It also mounts the /var/lib/gotify directory as the container's data directory and maps port 80 from the container to the host port 80.

Step 3: Access the Gotify Web Interface

After Gotify is running, you can access the web interface using your web browser. Go to this URL:

http://<YOUR_SERVER_IP>

Note: Replace <YOUR_SERVER_IP> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS Latest server. You should see the Gotify login page. Log in using the username admin and the password you set in Step 3. Congratulations! You've successfully installed and set up Gotify on 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!
