In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Homepage by Tomershvueli on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Homepage is a personal startpage that allows you to easily access your favorite websites and services from a single location. It is designed to be lightweight and customizable, making it a great choice for those who want a minimalistic and efficient way to navigate the web.
Before we start, it's important to note that this tutorial is written assuming you already have a basic understanding of Fedora CoreOS and its command-line interface. If you are unfamiliar with any of the commands or concepts used here, we recommend reviewing the official Fedora CoreOS documentation first.
The first step is to make sure Git is installed on your system. Git is a version control system that can be used to download and manage the source code for Homepage.
You can check if Git is already installed by running the following command in your terminal:
git --version
If Git is not installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo dnf install git
Once Git is installed, you can clone the source code for Homepage from the official repository on Github. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to install Homepage and run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/tomershvueli/homepage.git
This will download the source code for Homepage and create a new directory called "homepage" in your current directory.
Before we can start using Homepage, we need to install its dependencies. Homepage requires Node.js and Yarn to be installed on your system, so we will install those first.
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs
To install Yarn, run the following command:
sudo dnf install yarn
Finally, navigate to the "homepage" directory and run the following command to install the rest of the dependencies:
yarn install
This will download and install all the necessary dependencies for Homepage.
Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can build and run Homepage. To do this, navigate to the "homepage" directory and run the following command:
yarn start
This will start a development server and open Homepage in your default web browser. You should now be able to customize it to your liking by adding and removing the links and services.
If you want to run Homepage as a service that starts automatically when your system boots, you can configure it using systemd.
First, create a new systemd service file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/homepage.service
Paste the following contents into the file:
[Unit]
Description=Homepage
[Service]
User=<your_username>
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/homepage
ExecStart=/usr/bin/yarn start
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Replace <your_username> with your actual username and /path/to/homepage with the path to the "homepage" directory on your system.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.
Finally, run the following command to reload systemd and start the Homepage service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable homepage
sudo systemctl start homepage
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed and configured Homepage by Tomershvueli on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Enjoy your personalized startpage!
