How to Install Photonix on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Photonix on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS by following the steps below:

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A machine running the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
• A user account with sudo access.

Step 1: Download the Photonix package

First, open the terminal on your Fedora CoreOS machine and run the following command to download the Photonix package:

wget https://github.com/Photonix-Project/Photonix/archive/master.zip

This command will download the Photonix package in a ZIP file format to your current working directory.

Step 2: Extract the Photonix package

After downloading the package, use the following command to extract the ZIP file:

unzip master.zip

This will extract the package into a new directory called "Photonix-master".

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Photonix requires the following dependencies to be installed on your Fedora CoreOS machine:

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)

You can install them by running the following command:

sudo dnf install nodejs npm

Step 4: Install and Run Photonix

Now, navigate to the extracted Photonix directory and install its dependencies by running the following command:

cd Photonix-master
npm install

Once the installation is complete, start the Photonix web server by running the following command:

npm start

This will start the Photonix web server on port 3000 of your machine. You can now access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.

Step 5: Configure Photonix

By default, Photonix stores all its files in the ./public directory. If you want to change this location, you can modify the configuration in the config.json file.

{
  "albums_directory": "./public",
  "thumbs_directory": "./public/thumbs",
  "port": 3000
}

You can edit this file by running the following command:

nano config.json

Make any necessary changes and save the file.
