Kiwi IRC is a web-based application that allows users to connect to Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks through a web browser. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Kiwi IRC on Fedora CoreOS.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Kiwi IRC is distributed as a Docker container, so the first step is to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS server. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf install docker
After the installation is complete, start and enable the Docker service using the commands below:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
To install Kiwi IRC, you will need to pull the official Docker image from the Docker Hub registry. Run the following command to do this:
sudo docker pull kiwiirc/kiwiirc
Once the image has been downloaded, you can start a container by running the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name kiwiirc -p 8080:8080 kiwiirc/kiwiirc
This command starts a new container named "kiwiirc" and maps the Docker port 8080 to the host port 8080. You can replace "8080" with any other port number that is not already in use.
With the container running, you can access the Kiwi IRC web interface by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. If you are running Fedora CoreOS on a remote server, replace "localhost" with the IP address or hostname of the server.
You should now see the Kiwi IRC login page. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your preferred IRC network.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Kiwi IRC on Fedora CoreOS Latest using Docker. By accessing the Kiwi IRC web interface, you can easily connect to any IRC network using a standard web browser.
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!
