Huginn is an open source system for building agents that perform automated tasks for you online. It is a platform that allows you to easily create, configure and manage your own agents. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Huginn on your Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, it is important to ensure that your server is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Huginn requires several dependencies to run. Execute the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install -y git build-essential libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev ruby-dev zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
Huginn is written in Ruby language. We need to install Ruby on your server followed by some additional dependencies. To install Ruby, run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y ruby
After that, install additional dependencies following below commands:
sudo dnf install -y rubygems
sudo dnf install -y ruby-devel
Bundler is a tool that helps manage gem dependencies. We need to use Bundler to install and manage Huginn gem dependencies. To install bundler, run the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
We are now ready to download and install Huginn. To do this, we will use git. Execute below command to download the latest version of Huginn.
git clone https://github.com/huginn/huginn.git
cd huginn
Finally, run below command to install all dependencies for Huginn
bundle install
Now, we need to set up the Huginn configuration. Copy and setup the .env file.
cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env file to add the required environment variables. The following variables are required:
DATABASE_URL='postgresql://huginn:huginn@localhost/huginn'
SECRET_TOKEN='long_secret_key_here'
You can choose any value as the SECRET_TOKEN.
To create the Huginn database, run the following commands:
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate
To start the Huginn server, run the following command:
bundle exec foreman start
This will start the Huginn server on port 3000. You can access the Huginn server by visiting http://<your-server-ip>:3000 in your web browser.
You have now successfully installed Huginn on your Fedora Server. You can start building and configuring your own agents on it. Huginn is a powerful and flexible system that allows you to create automated workflows to run for you online.
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!
