Installing Fedora Commons Repository on Fedora Server Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fedora Commons Repository on a Fedora Server Latest system. The official link for downloading the repository is https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/FF/Fedora+Repository+Home.

Step 1: Download the Repository

First, we need to download the Fedora Commons Repository package from the official link.

$ wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/fcrepo/fcrepo-webapp/5.1.0/fcrepo-webapp-5.1.0.war

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

To install the required dependencies, we need to run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel

Step 3: Configure Tomcat Server

We need to configure the Tomcat Server to install the Fedore Repository. Create a new file called fedora.service to configure the Tomcat service as follows:

[Unit]
Description=Tomcat 9 servlet container
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=tomcat
Group=tomcat

Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre"
Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom"
Environment="CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat"
Environment="CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat"
Environment="CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid"
Environment="CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC"

WorkingDirectory=/opt/tomcat

ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh start
ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 4: Install Tomcat

Install the Tomcat server by running the following command:

$ sudo dnf install tomcat

After installing Tomcat, create a new user called tomcat and provide access to the Tomcat directory as follows:

$ sudo useradd -M -s /bin/nologin tomcat
$ sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat

Step 5: Deploy the Repository

Deploy the Fedora Commons repository to Tomcat by copying the downloaded fcrepo-webapp-5.1.0.war package to Tomcat's webapps directory as follows:

$ sudo cp fcrepo-webapp-5.1.0.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/fcrepo.war

Step 6: Access the Repository Web Interface

To access the repository web interface, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/fcrepo.
