Installing Mayan EDMS on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Mayan EDMS on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Mayan EDMS is a free and open-source document management system that helps users store, manage, and retrieve documents electronically. Fedora CoreOS, on the other hand, is a minimal and upgradable operating system that is designed for running containers.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Access to the internet

Step 1: Update System

Firstly, make sure that your system is up to date with the latest updates and security patches. Run the following command from the terminal to update your system:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Container Runtime

Next, we need to install a container runtime such as Podman or Docker. In this tutorial, we'll be using Podman as our container runtime.

sudo dnf install -y podman

Verify the installation of podman using the following command:

podman version

Step 3: Create a Container

We'll now create a Mayan EDMS container image using Podman. Run the following command to download and create the container image:

podman pull mayanedms/mayanedms

Step 4: Run the Container

Once the container image has been downloaded, we can start a new container using the following command:

podman run \
-d \
-p 80:80 \
-p 8080:8080 \
--name mayanedms \
mayanedms/mayanedms

Let's break down the command:

• podman run starts a new container.
• -d runs the container as a daemon (in the background).
• -p 80:80 maps port 80 of the container to port 80 of the host.
• -p 8080:8080 maps port 8080 of the container to port 8080 of the host.
• --name mayanedms assigns the container a name.
• mayanedms/mayanedms specifies the container image to use.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

Once the container has been started, we can visit the Mayan EDMS web interface by navigating to http://<Host-IP-Address> in a web browser. You should see the Mayan EDMS login screen.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Mayan EDMS on Fedora CoreOS Latest using Podman. You can now start storing, managing, and retrieving documents electronically using Mayan EDMS.

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!
