In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Helpy on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Helpy is a web-based application that requires Docker to run. To download and install the latest version of Docker, execute the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
Once the installation is complete, start and enable the Docker service using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Next, let's download and configure Helpy:
git clone https://github.com/helpyio/helpy.git.docker-compose.yaml in your preferred text editor.volumes, change /tmp/helpy/config:/usr/src/app/config to /home/<USER>/helpy/config:/usr/src/app/config, where <USER> is the name of the user who cloned the repository.From the Helpy directory, run the following command to start the application:
sudo docker-compose up -d
The command will download all required images and start the Helpy application. The "-d" flag is used to run the container in detached mode, meaning the application will keep running in the background.
Once Helpy is running properly, you can access it from your web browser by going to http://<IP_Address>:8080. Replace <IP_Address> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS instance.
You should see the Helpy welcome page, indicating that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Helpy on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. With Helpy up and running, you can start using it to manage your customer support requests.
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!
