How to Install RERO ILS on Fedora CoreOS Latest

RERO ILS is an Integrated Library System that is open-source and used by libraries across the globe. In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install RERO ILS on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

• Root Access to the Fedora CoreOS Latest machine
• Internet Connection

Step 1: Install Podman

Podman is a tool that helps run containers on your machine. In order to run RERO ILS, we need to install Podman first. Follow the steps below to install Podman on Fedora CoreOS Latest:

# Update the Package Manager
dnf update -y

# Install Podman 
dnf install podman -y

Step 2: Download RERO ILS Image

We need to download the RERO ILS Image before we can start the container. Follow the command below to download the latest RERO ILS Image:

podman pull docker.rero.ch/rero-ils:latest

Step 3: Start the RERO ILS Container

Once we have the RERO ILS Image downloaded, we can start the container using the command below:

podman run -d \
  --name rero-ils \
  -p 80:8080 \
  -v /var/lib/rero-ils:/srv/rero-ils \
  docker.rero.ch/rero-ils:latest

This command does the following:

• Starts a new detached container named "rero-ils"
• Maps the container's port 8080 to the host's port 80
• Maps the container's /srv/rero-ils directory to the host's /var/lib/rero-ils directory, which contains the data for the application

Step 4: Access RERO ILS Web Interface

Once the container has started, you can access the RERO ILS web interface in your browser by visiting http://localhost.
