How to Install Writing on Fedora CoreOS

Writing is a simple and distraction-free text editor that runs in the browser. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Writing on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora CoreOS instance running on your computer or server
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Docker

Writing is installed using Docker, so the first step is to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS instance. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Connect to your Fedora CoreOS instance using SSH or a terminal window
2. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

3. Start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

4. Verify that Docker is installed and running:

sudo docker version

Step 2: Download the Writing Docker Image

The next step is to download the Writing Docker image to your Fedora CoreOS instance. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Run the following command to download the Writing Docker image:

sudo docker pull josephernest/writing

2. Verify that the image has been downloaded by running the following command:

sudo docker images

Step 3: Run Writing in Docker

Now that you have downloaded the Writing Docker image, you can run Writing in a Docker container. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Run the following command to start a Docker container with Writing:

sudo docker run -p 80:3000 -d josephernest/writing

This command starts a Docker container and maps port 80 of the container to port 3000 of the host.

2. Verify that the container is running by running the following command:

sudo docker ps

You should see the Writing Docker container running in the list.

Step 4: Access Writing in your Browser

Now that Writing is running in a Docker container, you can access it using your web browser. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Open your web browser and enter the IP address or hostname of your Fedora CoreOS instance followed by :80 in the address bar. For example:

http://localhost:80

2. The Writing editor will load in your browser. You can now start writing!
