How to Install Spree Commerce on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Spree Commerce is an open-source, customizable eCommerce platform for Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps to install Spree Commerce on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before beginning this tutorial, you should have the following:

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest server set up with root access.
• A basic understanding of the command line.

Step 1: Install Ruby and PostgreSQL

Spree Commerce is built on Ruby on Rails and uses PostgreSQL as its database. We need to install both of these dependencies first.

To install Ruby on Fedora CoreOS Latest, use the following command:

sudo dnf install ruby

After installing Ruby, we need to install the PostgreSQL database:

sudo dnf install postgresql-server

Step 2: Install Spree Commerce

Now that we've installed Ruby and PostgreSQL, we can install Spree Commerce using the following command:

sudo gem install spree

This command will install Spree Commerce and its dependencies.

Step 3: Set up the Database

Next, we need to create a database for Spree Commerce. We will use PostgreSQL to create the database.

First, start the PostgreSQL service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start postgresql

Next, create a PostgreSQL user and database for Spree Commerce using the following commands:

sudo su postgres
createuser -d -P spree
createdb -O spree spree_development
exit

This will create a new user named "spree," prompt you for a password, and create a database named "spree_development."

Step 4: Generate a New Spree Commerce App

Now that we've installed Spree Commerce and set up the database, we can create a new Spree Commerce app.

First, create a new directory for the app and navigate to it:

mkdir my_spree_app
cd my_spree_app

Next, generate a new Spree Commerce app:

bundle exec spree init

This command will generate a new Spree Commerce app in the current directory.

Step 5: Start the Spree Commerce Server

Finally, we can start the Spree Commerce server and see the storefront in action:

bin/rails server -p 3000 -b 0.0.0.0

This will start the Spree Commerce server on port 3000 and bind it to all available network interfaces.

You can now visit your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser to see the Spree Commerce storefront.

Congratulations, you've successfully installed Spree Commerce on Fedora CoreOS Latest!

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!
