How to Install Kinto on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Kinto is an open-source JSON document store that allows users to create and manage data-driven applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kinto on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have:

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Fedora CoreOS

First, ensure that you are running the latest version of Fedora CoreOS by updating and upgrading your system using the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree update

Step 2: Install Python 3 and PostgreSQL

Kinto requires Python 3 and a PostgreSQL database to function. Install both packages using the following command:

sudo dnf install python3 postgresql postgresql-server -y

Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL

Once PostgreSQL is installed, initialize the database and start the service using the following commands:

sudo postgresql-setup --initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql

Next, create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Kinto using the following commands:

sudo -u postgres createuser kinto
sudo -u postgres createdb kinto_db
sudo -u postgres psql -c "alter user kinto with password 'password';"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "grant all privileges on database kinto_db to kinto;"

Step 4: Install Kinto

Install Kinto using pip3 by running the following command:

sudo pip3 install kinto

Step 5: Configure Kinto

Before starting the Kinto server, you need to configure Kinto by creating a configuration file. Create a new file named kinto.ini by running the following command:

sudo nano /etc/kinto/kinto.ini

Add the following lines to the file:

[app:main]
backend = kinto.core.storage.postgresql

[storage]
dsn = postgresql://kinto:password@localhost/kinto_db

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Start Kinto

You can now start the Kinto server using the following command:

sudo kinto start /etc/kinto/kinto.ini

The server will start running and listening on port 8888. You can access the Kinto web interface by navigating to http://server_ip:8888/v1/. You should see a JSON object indicating that Kinto is running.
