In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of qpixel on Fedora CoreOS. qpixel is a free and open-source Q&A platform that is designed to help a community to easily ask, answer, and share knowledge.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
qpixel is shipped as a Docker image. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS Latest by running the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
After successfully installing Docker, start and enable the Docker service:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
To verify that Docker is running, execute the following command:
sudo systemctl status docker
You should see the Docker service status as active.
To download the qpixel Docker image, run the following command:
sudo docker pull codidact/qpixel
To store and persist qpixel databases and user data, create a directory on your system:
sudo mkdir -p /var/qpixel/data
With the qpixel Docker image downloaded, it's time to run the container with the following command:
sudo docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --name qpixel -v /var/qpixel/data:/app/data codidact/qpixel:latest
The above command runs the qpixel container, maps port 8080 of the container to the host's 8080, and mounts the data directory to persist data even if the container is deleted or recreated.
Once you execute the command, you will see the qpixel logs being displayed on your screen.
You can now access qpixel from your web browser at http://your-server-ip:8080.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install qpixel on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Now, you can use qpixel to facilitate knowledge sharing and communication within your community.
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!
