Homebox is a self-hosted solution aimed to provide personal cloud services to its users. It runs on Linux and provides a robust set of tools to help manage the various cloud services. Installing Homebox on Fedora CoreOS can be challenging for beginners. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Homebox on Fedora CoreOS.
Before we proceed, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies required to run the Homebox software. To do that, execute the following command:
sudo dnf install git podman -y
Next, we need to clone the Homebox Git repository to our local machine. To do that, execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox.git
Navigate to the cloned Homebox repository by executing the following command:
cd homebox
Now, we can install Homebox by executing the following command:
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" ./homebox install
After installing Homebox, we need to create an admin user. To do that, execute the following command:
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" ./homebox client register
Finally, we need to start and enable the Podman service. To do that, execute the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now podman.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now podman.service
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Homebox on Fedora CoreOS. You can now access Homebox by visiting http://<IP-ADDRESS>:8080 from your web browser. If you encounter any issues, please refer to the official Homebox documentation.
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!
