How to Install Hitobito on Fedora CoreOS latest

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Hitobito on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure your system has the necessary dependencies installed.

To do so, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf install -y git ansible

Step 2: Clone the Hitobito Git Repository

Now, we need to clone the Hitobito git repository.

To do so, run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/hitobito/hitobito.git

Step 3: Configure the Hitobito Playbook

After cloning the repository, we need to configure the Hitobito playbook.

To do so, navigate to the hitobito directory where the repository was cloned and find the file named inventory.example.

Copy this file to a new file named inventory at the same location:

cp inventory.example inventory

Next, edit the inventory file and specify the target machine where Hitobito will be installed, by updating the IP address.

[hitobito]
<ip-address-of-target-machine>

Save and exit the inventory file when done.

Step 4: Run the Hitobito Playbook

Finally, we can run the Hitobito playbook on the target machine.

To do so, run the following command in the terminal, while in the directory where Hitobito repository is cloned:

ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml

This will initiate the installation process of Hitobito on the target machine.

Once the process is complete, you should be able to access Hitobito by navigating to http://<ip-address-of-target-machine>:3000.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explained how to install Hitobito on Fedora CoreOS latest, by cloning the Hitobito git repository, configuring the playbook using the inventory file, and running the playbook using Ansible.
