Kimai is a free and open-source Time-Tracking application that helps users to track the time spent on different projects and tasks. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Kimai on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Before starting with the installation process, please ensure that you have the following:
Before installing any new packages or applications, it is always recommended to update the system. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo dnf update -y
Kimai is built on top of a Docker container, so the first step is to install Docker on your system. Run the following command to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS system:
sudo dnf install docker -y
After installing Docker, start and enable the Docker service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Kimai is available as a Docker image on Docker Hub. We need to pull the Kimai Docker image on our Fedora CoreOS system with the following command:
sudo docker pull kimai/kimai2
After pulling the Kimai Docker image, we can run it as a Docker container. Run the following command to start the Kimai Docker container:
sudo docker run -d --name kimai2 -p 8080:80 kimai/kimai2
This command will start the Kimai Docker container and expose the port 80 on the container to the port 8080 on the Fedora CoreOS system.
After starting the Kimai Docker container, we can access the Kimai web interface by opening a web browser and entering the http://<host-ip>:8080 URL. This will open the Kimai login page.
To use Kimai, we need to set up an admin account. Click on the Sign-up button and enter the required details to create an admin account.
