OSIAM is an open source identity and access management (IAM) platform that enables organizations to manage user authentication and authorization. Fedora CoreOS is a lightweight, container-focused operating system designed for running containerized applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OSIAM on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, you need to update and upgrade your Fedora CoreOS system to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree update
This will automatically download and install any available updates for Fedora CoreOS.
Next, install the dependencies required to run OSIAM. Run the following command:
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk curl unzip -y
This will install the Java 11 development kit, curl, and unzip packages.
Now, download the latest stable release of OSIAM from the official website using the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/osiam/osiam/releases/download/$VERSION/osiam-server-$VERSION.zip -o osiam-server-$VERSION.zip
Replace $VERSION with the latest version number of OSIAM. You can check the latest version on the official website.
Next, extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file using the following command:
sudo unzip osiam-server-$VERSION.zip -d /opt/osiam
This will extract the contents of the ZIP file to the /opt/osiam directory.
In this step, we will configure OSIAM by creating a configuration file. Create a new file /opt/osiam/conf/osiam.conf using the following command:
sudo nano /opt/osiam/conf/osiam.conf
Paste the following configuration into the file:
osiam.storage.connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://DATABASE_IP:DATABASE_PORT/DATABASE_NAME
osiam.storage.connection.username=DATABASE_USERNAME
osiam.storage.connection.password=DATABASE_PASSWORD
server.port=8080
osiam.token.expiration=3600
osiam.token.rsa.private.key.location=file:/opt/osiam/conf/private-key.pem
osiam.token.rsa.public.key.location=file:/opt/osiam/conf/public-key.pem
Replace the following values with your actual values:
DATABASE_IP: IP address of your PostgreSQL database serverDATABASE_PORT: Port number of your PostgreSQL database server (default is 5432)DATABASE_NAME: Name of your OSIAM databaseDATABASE_USERNAME: Username of your OSIAM databaseDATABASE_PASSWORD: Password of your OSIAM databaseSave and exit the file.
In this step, we will configure PostgreSQL to create the OSIAM database. First, install PostgreSQL on your Fedora CoreOS system using the following command:
sudo dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib -y
Start and enable the PostgreSQL service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
Create a new PostgreSQL user and database using the following commands:
sudo su - postgres
createuser -P osiam
createdb osiamdb -O osiam
exit
This will create a new PostgreSQL user named osiam with a password and a new database named osiamdb.
In this step, we will start the OSIAM server using the following command:
sudo /opt/osiam/bin/osiam-server.sh start
This will start the OSIAM server on port 8080.
Finally, open a web browser and go to http://OSIAM_SERVER_IP:8080/dashboard/. Replace OSIAM_SERVER_IP with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS system. You will see the OSIAM login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured OSIAM 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!
