How to Install ToolJet on Fedora CoreOS

ToolJet is an open-source low-code development platform that allows developers to build web applications without writing a single line of code. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install ToolJet on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

To install ToolJet on Fedora CoreOS, you'll need the following:

• A working instance of Fedora CoreOS
• A sudo user account with root privileges
• Internet connectivity to download the necessary packages

Step 1: Install Docker

ToolJet requires Docker to run. To install Docker, open the terminal and run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install docker

Step 2: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install docker-compose

Step 3: Install Git

Git is a version control system that allows you to track changes in your codebase. To install Git, run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install git

Step 4: Clone the ToolJet Repository

To install ToolJet, you need to clone the ToolJet repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/tooljet/tooljet

Step 5: Create a Docker Compose File

You need to create a Docker Compose file for ToolJet to run. You can create this file in any directory you want, but for this tutorial, we'll create it in the ToolJet directory.

To create the file, use your preferred text editor and create a file called docker-compose.yml with the following content:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: tooljet/tooljet:latest
    ports:
    - "8000:8000"
    environment:
    - DATABASE_URL=postgres://tooljet:tooljet@postgres:5432/tooljet
    depends_on:
    - postgres
    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: .
      target: /app
    - type: volume
      source: tooljet-postgres-data
      target: /var/lib/postgresql/data

  postgres:
    image: postgres
    environment:
    - POSTGRES_USER=tooljet
    - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=tooljet
    - POSTGRES_DB=tooljet
    volumes:
    - type: volume
      source: tooljet-postgres-data
      target: /var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  tooljet-postgres-data:
    driver: local

Step 6: Start ToolJet

To start ToolJet, you need to run the following command:

$ docker-compose up

This command will start the ToolJet container and the PostgreSQL container, and you should see the following output in the terminal:

Starting to project files spacecraft-internal-toolkit_server_1_abc123.. . .
Starting to project files spacecra􀪘-internal-toolkit_postgres_1_abc123. . .

Once the containers are up and running, you can visit ToolJet in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8000/.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to install ToolJet on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Now you can start building web applications with ToolJet without writing any code.
