How to Install Pootle on Latest Fedora CoreOS using Container Technology

In this tutorial, we will learn the process of installing Pootle on Fedora CoreOS, which is a platform for running containerized applications. We will use container technology to install Pootle.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Steps

Follow the below steps to complete the installation of Pootle:

Step 1: Install Docker

Docker is not included in Fedora CoreOS by default. Therefore, we will install Docker first by running the following command in the terminal:

$ sudo rpm-ostree install docker

Step 2: Pull Pootle Image

Now we need to pull the Pootle image from Docker Hub using the following command:

$ sudo docker pull translate/pootle

Step 3: Create a Persistent Volume

We need to create a persistent volume where Pootle can store its data. Run the following command to create a new persistent volume:

$ sudo docker volume create pootledata

Step 4: Start Pootle Container

Now we will start the Pootle container using the following command:

$ sudo docker run --name pootle --restart always -p 8000:8000 -v pootledata:/var/lib/pootle -d translate/pootle

This command will start the Pootle container with the name "pootle" and map the container's 8000 port to the host's port 8000. It also mounts the volume "pootledata" to the container's "/var/lib/pootle" directory.

Step 5: Access Pootle Web Interface

Once the container is running, open your web browser and enter the following URL:

http://FEDORACOREOS_IP_ADDRESS:8000

Replace "FEDORACOREOS_IP_ADDRESS" with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS machine.

You should see the Pootle web interface, which is now ready to use.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Pootle on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS using container technology. Pootle is a powerful translation management software that can help organizations manage translations. By running Pootle in a container, we can easily manage and deploy it on any platform that supports Docker.

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!
