How to Install Tiny Tiny IRC on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Tiny Tiny IRC is a web-based IRC client that allows users to chat on IRC networks directly from a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tiny Tiny IRC on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest with sudo access.
• A web server and PHP installed on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.
• An IRC server to connect to.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, we need to install the required dependencies for Tiny Tiny IRC. Run the following command to install them:

sudo dnf install git php-xml php-mbstring php-pdo php-pdo_sqlite

Step 2: Clone the Latest Repository

Next, we need to clone the Tiny Tiny IRC repository using the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/mbreuss/tt-irc.git /var/www/html/tt-irc

This will clone the latest version of the repository to the /var/www/html/tt-irc directory.

Step 3: Configure the Webserver

We need to configure the web server to serve the Tiny Tiny IRC web interface. If you're using Apache, create a new Vhost configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/tt-irc.conf

And add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName tt-irc.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tt-irc
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Create Database

Tiny Tiny IRC stores its configuration and state in a SQLite database. We need to create this database manually using the following command:

sudo sqlite3 /var/www/html/tt-irc/database/config.sqlite < /var/www/html/tt-irc/includes/sql/config.sqlite.sql

Step 5: Set Permissions

We need to set the appropriate permissions on the Tiny Tiny IRC files so that the web server can access them. Execute the following command:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/tt-irc

Step 6: Restart the Web Server

After completing the configuration, restart the web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Accessing Tiny Tiny IRC

Now that we have completed the installation, you can access Tiny Tiny IRC by entering the following URL into your web browser: http://tt-irc.local.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install Tiny Tiny IRC on Fedora CoreOS Latest. By following these steps, you should now have a fully functional, web-based IRC client up and running and ready to connect to your favorite IRC servers.
