Tryton is a free and open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that can be installed on various operating systems including Fedora CoreOS. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Tryton on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Begin by updating the package repositories on your Fedora CoreOS system:
sudo dnf update
Once the repositories are updated, you can install Tryton and PostgreSQL packages using the following command:
sudo dnf install tryton postgresql-server postgresql-contrib -y
Now that the packages have been installed, let's configure the PostgreSQL server by initializing the database and starting the PostgreSQL service:
sudo postgresql-setup --initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
In this step, we will create a Tryton database and the user that will access it:
sudo -u postgres createdb trytondb
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER tryton WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE trytondb TO tryton;"
Make sure to replace 'password' with a secure and complex password.
To connect Tryton to the PostgreSQL database we created, we'll modify the Tryton configuration file:
sudo nano /usr/share/trytond/trytond.conf
Change the following lines in the file:
[database]
uri = postgresql://tryton:password@localhost/trytondb
Make sure to replace 'password' with the password you set for the 'tryton' user in Step 4.
Now that everything has been configured correctly, we can start the Tryton service:
sudo systemctl start trytond
sudo systemctl enable trytond
Tryton should now be accessible on http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000. Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS system. You can log in using the default credentials: admin/admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tryton on Fedora CoreOS.
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!
