Prerequisites

• A computer or a virtual machine running Fedora CoreOS

Step 1: Install NodeJS on Fedora CoreOS

The first thing we need to do is install NodeJS on our Fedora CoreOS machine. Run the following command to install the NodeJS package:

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL on Fedora CoreOS

Misskey requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. So, we need to install it on our Fedora CoreOS machine. Run the following command to install the PostgreSQL package:

$ sudo dnf -y install postgresql-server

After the installation is completed, we need to initialize the PostgreSQL database:

$ sudo postgresql-setup --initdb

Finally, start the PostgreSQL service:

$ sudo systemctl start postgresql.service

Step 3: Create a PostgreSQL user and database

We need to create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Misskey. Run the following commands to create a new user and database:

$ sudo -u postgres psql

postgres=# CREATE USER misskey WITH PASSWORD '<your-password>';
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE misskey;
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE misskey TO misskey;
postgres=# \q

Step 4: Install Misskey

We can now install Misskey on our Fedora CoreOS machine. Run the following command to download the Misskey source code:

$ git clone https://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git

Enter the Misskey directory:

$ cd misskey/

Install the required packages:

$ npm install

Rename the configuration file:

$ cp .env.sample .env

Edit the .env file and change the following settings:

DB_USERNAME=misskey
DB_PASSWORD=<your-password>
DB_NAME=misskey

Start the Misskey service:

$ node misskey start

Step 5: Access Misskey

Misskey is now up and running on your Fedora CoreOS machine. You can access the Misskey web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to:
