Asciiflow is a web-based ASCII art editor that allows users to create diagrams, flowcharts, and more using plain text characters. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Asciiflow on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing Asciiflow, you need to make sure your system has the following prerequisites:
Asciiflow is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. To install it on your Fedora CoreOS, you need to have Git installed. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git
Once Git is installed, you can clone the Asciiflow repository to your local machine. To do so, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow2.git
This command will create a new directory called asciiflow2 in your current working directory and download the latest version of Asciiflow from the GitHub repository.
To configure Asciiflow, navigate to the asciiflow2 directory and edit the config.js file using your favorite text editor.
cd asciiflow2
nano config.js
In the config.js file, you can change the default port on which Asciiflow will run by modifying the port variable. By default, Asciiflow is configured to run on port 8080.
To start the Asciiflow server, navigate to the asciiflow2 directory and run the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Asciiflow server and make it available on the port you specified in the config.js file. To access Asciiflow from your web browser, navigate to http://<your-server-ip>:<port>.
By following these steps, you should now have a working installation of Asciiflow on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance. You can now use Asciiflow to create ASCII art, diagrams, flowcharts, and other visual representations using plain text characters.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
