Kutt is a modern URL shortener that's simple to use and easy to install. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps required to install Kutt on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before we get started, let's update our system to ensure we have the latest packages available. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Kutt is built on Docker containers, which provide an easy and efficient way to manage application dependencies. To install Docker on Fedora CoreOS, run the following commands:
sudo dnf install docker
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Next, we need to install Docker Compose, which is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose on Fedora CoreOS, run the following command:
sudo dnf install docker-compose
Now that we have Docker and Docker Compose installed, let's clone the Kutt repository:
git clone https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt.git
In order to deploy Kutt, we need to configure a few settings first. Start by creating a new .env file in the cloned repository directory:
cd kutt
cp .env.example .env
Next, open the .env file in your preferred text editor to set the environment variables:
nano .env
Replace the DOMAIN variable with your own domain name, and add your email address for the LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL variable:
DOMAIN=yourdomain.com
LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=email@example.com
Save and exit the file by pressing CTRL+X, followed by Y to confirm and ENTER to exit.
We're finally ready to deploy the Kutt application using Docker Compose:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will start the Kutt application in the background, with the -d flag telling Docker Compose to run the containers in detached mode.
That's it! Kutt is now up and running on your Fedora CoreOS server. To verify that everything is working correctly, visit your domain name in a web browser. You should see the Kutt homepage:
http://yourdomain.com
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install Kutt on Fedora CoreOS Latest using Docker Compose. We hope you found this tutorial helpful, and feel free to check out the Kutt documentation for more information about customizing and using the application.
