How to Install Quru Image Server on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Quru Image Server is an open-source image server that allows you to store and distribute your image assets easily. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Quru Image Server on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

• An active internet connection
• A Linux user account with root privileges

Step 1: Install Podman

Podman is a tool that is used to manage containers. Quru Image Server runs on a container, so we need to install Podman first.

To install Podman, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo dnf install podman -y

Step 2: Pull the Quru Image Server Docker Image

Next, we need to pull the Quru Image Server Docker image from Docker Hub. To do that, we need to run the following command:

sudo podman pull quru/qis

This command will take some time to download the Quru Image Server Docker image. Once the download is complete, you can verify it by running the following command:

sudo podman images

Step 3: Prepare the Quru Image Server Data Directory

We need to create a data directory that Quru Image Server will use to store its image assets. To do this, run the following command:

sudo mkdir /opt/quru/images

Step 4: Initialize the Quru Image Server Container

Now we're ready to initialize the Quru Image Server container. We will use the following command to start the container:

sudo podman run -d --name qis \
-p 8080:80 \
-v /opt/quru/images:/app/images quru/qis

In this command, we're telling Podman to:

• Run the Quru Image Server container as a daemon (in the background) with the name qis.
• Map port 8080 on the host Fedora CoreOS system to port 80 on the Quru Image Server container.
• Create a volume using the /opt/quru/images directory we created earlier and map it to the /app/images directory in the container.
• Use the quru/qis Docker image.

Once you've run this command, Quru Image Server should be up and running. You can verify this by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

http://<your-fedora-coreos-ip-address>:8080

If everything is working correctly, you should see the Quru Image Server web interface.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Quru Image Server on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Now you can upload your images to the server using the web interface or the API.

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!
