In this tutorial, we will be talking about how to install Komga, an open-source media server, on Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) latest version.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of FCOS.
• A user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install the required dependencies

First, we need to install the required dependencies. Open the terminal and execute the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk openssl openssl-devel unzip wget -y

Step 2: Download and extract the Komga package

Next, we need to download the Komga package. Execute the following command to download the latest Komga package:

wget https://github.com/gotson/komga/releases/download/v0.107.0/komga-0.107.0-linux.zip

Once downloaded, extract the package using the following command:

unzip komga-0.107.0-linux.zip

Step 3: Configure the Komga service

We need to create a configuration file for the Komga service. Execute the following command to create the configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/komga.service

Paste the following content in the file:

[Unit]
Description=Komga
After=network.target

[Service]
User=komga
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:+UseG1GC -Dspring.profiles.active=production -jar /opt/komga/komga.jar
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure

[Install]

Step 4: Create a user for Komga

We should create a user for the Komga service. Execute the following command to create a user named komga:

sudo useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin komga

Step 5: Move the extracted package to the Komga directory

We need to move the extracted package to the Komga directory. Execute the following command to move the extracted package:

sudo mv komga /opt/

Step 6: Set permissions

We should grant the ownership of the Komga directory to the komga user. Execute the following command to grant ownership:

sudo chown -R komga:komga /opt/komga

Step 7: Enable and start Komga service

Now, we can enable the Komga service and start it. Execute the following commands to enable and start the Komga service:

sudo systemctl enable --now komga
sudo systemctl status komga

You have now successfully installed Komga on Fedora CoreOS latest version. You can access the Komga service by visiting http://<ip_address>:8080.

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!
