How to Install Tmate on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Tmate is a tool that allows remote access to terminal sessions. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install Tmate on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Tmate, make sure your system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Tmate

Tmate is not available in the default Fedora CoreOS repositories. To install it, we need to manually add the Tmate repository to the system.

To do this, run the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf copr enable tmate/tmate
sudo dnf install -y tmate

These commands will install the required packages and add the Tmate repository to the system. Once the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command:

tmate -V

This will display the version of Tmate you have installed on your system.

Step 3: Use Tmate

Now that Tmate is installed on your system, you can use it to access remote terminal sessions.

To start a new Tmate session, run the following command:

tmate

This will generate a URL that you can share with anyone you want to grant access to your terminal session.

To join an existing Tmate session, run the command provided by the person who started the session.

tmate connect SESSION_URL

Replace "SESSION_URL" with the URL provided by the person who started the session.

You can now use Tmate to collaborate and share terminal sessions with others.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tmate on Fedora CoreOS Latest and can now use it to remotely access terminal sessions.
