How to Install Drift on Fedora Server Latest

Drift is a tool for tracking the changes made to a system's files and directories. It can be installed on Linux platforms, including Fedora Server. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps of installing Drift on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you'll need:

• A Fedora Server installed and running on your system
• Basic knowledge of Linux command line interface (CLI)
• Root access to the server

Step 1: Install Git

To install Drift on your Fedore Server, you'll first need to install Git. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf install git

This will install Git on your system.

Step 2: Clone the Drift Repository

Next, you'll need to clone the Drift repository from Github. Navigate to the directory that you want to install Drift in and clone the repository with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git

This will create a directory called drift containing the Drift code.

Step 3: Install Drift Dependencies

Drift requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install them using the following command:

sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-devel gcc

This will install Python3, pip3, virtualenv, and other packages required to run Drift.

Step 4: Create a Python Virtual Environment

Next, create a Python virtual environment for Drift using the following command:

cd drift
python3 -m venv env

This will create a virtual environment called env in the drift directory.

Step 5: Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

source env/bin/activate

You should now see (env) in front of your command prompt.

Step 6: Install Drift

Install Drift within the virtual environment using pip:

pip install .

This will install Drift along with its dependencies in the virtual environment.

Step 7: Initialize Drift

Initialize Drift by running the following command:

drift init

This will create a configuration file drift.yaml in the current directory. You can customize this file as per your requirements.

Step 8: Start Drift

Start Drift by running the following command:

drift start

This will start Drift in the foreground. You can stop Drift by pressing Ctrl+C.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Drift on your Fedora Server. You can now use it to track changes in your system's files and directories.

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!
