This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Monica on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Monica is an open-source personal relationship manager that helps you keep track of your friends, family and colleagues.
Before we begin, make sure your Fedora CoreOS instance is up-to-date and that you have sudo privileges.
Monica is packaged as a Docker container, so we need to first install Docker on the system. You can install Docker on Fedora CoreOS using the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
To download Monica, run the following command:
sudo docker pull monicahq/monica
This will download the latest version of Monica from the Docker Hub.
Monica requires a database to store its data. For this tutorial, we will be using SQLite as the database backend.
First, create a directory to store the database:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/monica
Next, create an empty SQLite database file:
sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite
Set the proper file permissions for the new database file:
sudo chown 1000:1000 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite
sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite
Now that we have everything set up, we can run Monica using the following command:
sudo docker run -d \
--name monica \
-e DB_CONNECTION_STRING=sqlite:/var/lib/monica/monica.sqlite \
-v /var/lib/monica:/var/lib/monica \
-p 80:80 \
monicahq/monica
This will run Monica as a Docker container, mount the database directory inside the container, and expose the web interface on port 80.
Once the container is running, you can access Monica by visiting http://
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Monica on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
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!
