How to Install Koel on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Koel on Fedora CoreOS Latest Operating System. Koel is a free and open-source web-based music streaming application specially designed to manage and stream your personal music collection on the web.

Before we begin, make sure that you have access to the terminal window with superuser privileges.

Let's get started with the installation process!

Step 1: Install Podman

Podman is a lightweight and powerful container engine that can be used to run containers on Fedora CoreOS. To install Podman, run the following command:

sudo dnf install podman -y

Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:

podman version

This will display the version of Podman installed on your system.

Step 2: Create a Koel Container

To create a Koel container using Podman, we need to first create the necessary directories and files for mounting:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/koel/config /opt/koel/storage /opt/koel/nginx

And then, create the container by running the following command:

sudo podman run -d \
--name koel \
-p 80:80 \
-v /opt/koel/config:/var/www/koel/config:Z \
-v /opt/koel/storage:/var/www/koel/storage/uploads:Z \
-v /opt/koel/nginx:/etc/nginx:Z \
koel/koel

This will create a new container named "koel" and map the required configuration, storage, and nginx directories as read/write mode. We have also specified port number 80 to access the Koel application.

Step 3: Access Koel Web Interface

Once the container is up and running, you can access the Koel web interface in your web browser by typing the server's IP address or domain name.

http://server-ip

You will see the Koel web interface login screen. By default, there is no username and password defined for Koel. You can create a new account by clicking on the "New Account" button.

Step 4: Configure Koel

After successfully creating the Koel account, you can now log in to the Koel dashboard and start configuring your music collection.

In the Koel dashboard, click on the "Settings" icon and start configuring your music sources and settings.

Summary

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Koel on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now manage and stream your personal music collection on the web using a free and open-source application.
