Coral is an open-source collaboration software that helps publishers build better online communities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Coral on a Fedora Server Latest operating system.
Before installing Coral, ensure that the following requirements are met:
Coral is built on Node.js. Therefore, you must first install Node.js on your Fedora Server Latest. To install Node.js, run the following commands:
sudo dnf install nodejs
To verify the installation, run the command:
node -v
If the command returns the Node.js version, then the installation was successful.
To install Coral from https://coralproject.net/, run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk.git
cd talk
npm install
Then, you need to configure the Coral environment by creating the .env file. Run the following command to create the .env file:
cp .env.sample .env
Open the .env file with your preferred text editor and set the necessary environment variables. For example,
MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/talk
Where 27017 is the default MongoDB port and talk is the name of the database.
After completing the installation and configuration, start Coral by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Coral server. To verify that the server is up and running, go to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
You have successfully installed Coral on your Fedora Server Latest. Now, you can use Coral to create your online community and enhance your readers' engagement.
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!
