How to Install Umbraco on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Umbraco is an open-source .NET content management system (CMS) that allows developers to build websites and web applications. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Umbraco on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest machine with a user account with sudo access.
• A web server installed and configured on your server. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx.

Step 1 - Install .NET Runtime

Before installing Umbraco, we need to install .NET runtime. To install .NET runtime, run the following commands:

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[packages-microsoft-com-prod]\nname=packages-microsoft-com-prod \nbaseurl= https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/microsoft-rhel7.2-prod\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/packages-microsoft-com-prod.repo'
sudo yum install dotnet-runtime-2.2 -y

Step 2 - Install Umbraco

Now, we will download the latest version of Umbraco from the official website. You can download the Umbraco CMS from the following URL: https://umbraco.com/download.

cd /opt
sudo yum install wget unzip -y
sudo wget https://our.umbraco.com/versions/version-820/UmbracoCms.8.2.0.zip
sudo unzip UmbracoCms.8.2.0.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 3 - Setup Permissions

We need to set the right ownership and permissions for the Umbraco CMS files.

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

Step 4 - Configure Nginx

We will now configure Nginx as a web server for Umbraco. Create a new nginx configuration file with the following information:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/umbraco.conf

And paste the following configuration

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm Default.aspx;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html /index.php?$args;
    }
}

Save and Exit

Step 5 - Start services

Now, start the Nginx and .NET services to run Umbraco.

sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
sudo systemctl enable --now dotnet

Step 6 - Access Umbraco from Browser

You can now access your Umbraco website by typing your server domain name or IP address in the web browser.

http://yourdomain.com:80

You will now land on the Umbraco setup page. Fill in the required details and complete the setup process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Umbraco on Fedora CoreOS Latest machine.
