Rustpad is a collaborative text editor that allows multiple users to work on the same document at the same time. It is a web-based application that can be installed on your own server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Rustpad on Fedora CoreOS, the latest version of the Fedora operating system.
Before you can install Rustpad on Fedora CoreOS, you must have the following:
Rustpad requires Docker to be installed on your system. To install Docker on Fedora CoreOS, you can use the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
Once Docker is installed, start the Docker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Next, you need to create a Docker Compose file that will define your Rustpad container. Create a new file in your home directory called docker-compose.yaml
and add the following contents:
version: "3"
services:
rustpad:
image: rustpad/rustpad
ports:
- "8000:8000"
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=/data/rustpad.db
- BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
volumes:
- rustpad-data:/data
volumes:
rustpad-data:
This Docker Compose file will create a container running Rustpad, expose it on port 8000, and mount a volume for data storage.
To start the Rustpad container, navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yaml
file and run the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This will start the Rustpad container in detached mode, running in the background. You can now access Rustpad by visiting http://<ip-address>:8000
in your web browser, replacing <ip-address>
with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS system.
Once the container is running, you can access Rustpad by visiting http://<ip-address>:8000
in your web browser. Rustpad should now be fully functional and ready to use.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Rustpad on Fedora CoreOS. Rustpad is a powerful collaborative text editor that can help you work more efficiently with your team. By following these steps, you can have Rustpad up and running on your own server in no time.
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!
