How to Install OhMyForms on Fedora CoreOS Latest

OhMyForms is an open-source platform that allows users to create custom forms, surveys, and quizzes, and receive responses through email or other channels. If you are working with Fedora CoreOS Latest, and you want to install OhMyForms, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Prerequisites

Before installing OhMyForms, you need to ensure that your Fedora CoreOS system is up to date to avoid running into compatibility issues. Use the following command to update your system:

sudo dnf update

You also need to have access to a web browser, and a stable internet connection to download dependencies.

Install OhMyForms on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Here is a step-by-step guide to installing OhMyForms on your Fedora CoreOS Latest:

  1. Install Docker

OhMyForms is primarily a Docker-based application. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your system before proceeding with the installation. Run the following command:

sudo dnf install docker
  1. Start Docker

Use the following command to launch Docker and enable it to start automatically during system boot:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
  1. Download and Run OhMyForms

You can now download and run OhMyForms using Docker. Use the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name ohmyforms -p 443:443 ohmyform/ohmyform:latest
  1. Configure HTTPS

OhMyForms requires HTTPS to function correctly. However, the Docker container started in step 3 only runs HTTP by default. Therefore, you need to configure HTTPS to enable secure communication with the platform.

Use the following commands to generate SSL certificates and configure HTTPS:

sudo mkdir /etc/ohmyforms
sudo openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout /etc/ohmyforms/key.pem -out /etc/ohmyforms/cert.pem -days 365 -subj '/CN=Ohmyforms'
sudo docker exec -it ohmyforms /bin/sh

Once inside the container, use the following command to modify the Nginx configuration file:

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Replace the server block with the following:

server {
    listen 443;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/key.pem;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    }
}

Save the file and exit the container by running exit command.

  1. Restart OhMyForms

Restart the OhMyForms container to apply the new configuration using the following command:

sudo docker restart ohmyforms

You can now access OhMyForms by visiting https:/// in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OhMyForms on your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine. You can now start creating forms, quizzes, and surveys for your personal or business needs.
