PassWall is a modern, high-performance, and user-friendly open-source web proxy service that helps users to access restricted websites and bypass any censorship imposed by ISPs or governments. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PassWall on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
PassWall runs as a set of Docker containers. Therefore, to run PassWall, you need to have Docker installed on your system. We will install the Docker-ce (Community Edition) using the following command:
dnf -y install 'dnf-command(copr)' && \
dnf -y copr enable rh_containerops/crio-nightly && \
dnf -y install podman-docker
After the installation completes, verify that Docker is running by running the following command:
systemctl status docker.service
You should see a Status output that indicates Docker is running.
Next, you need to install Git to clone the PassWall source code from Github. Use the following command to install Git:
dnf -y install git
Now, we will clone the PassWall Github repository to our system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git
To build PassWall using Docker, ensure that you are inside the PassWall directory and run the following command:
docker-compose build
This command will download and install all the required dependencies, including the PassWall software and database.
PassWall requires a few environment variables to run correctly. Therefore, we need to set the environment variables before starting PassWall. Open the .env
file in the PassWall directory using the following command:
nano .env
and modify the following environment variables according to your requirements:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_mysql_root_password
MYSQL_DATABASE=your_mysql_database_Name
MYSQL_USER=your_mysql_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=your_mysql_password
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=8081
Save and close the .env
file.
Finally, we can start the PassWall service using the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will start the PassWall service in the background. You can check the status of the service using the following command:
docker ps
You should see a list of running Docker containers, including the PassWall container.
PassWall is now installed and running on your Fedora CoreOS. You can access it using any web browser by entering the following URL:
http://your_server_ip_address:8081
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install PassWall on Fedora CoreOS. PassWall is a powerful and easy-to-use web proxy service that allows users to access restricted websites and bypass any censorship.
