In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Memos on your Fedora Server Latest. Memos is an open-source note-taking application that allows you to create, edit, and organize your notes efficiently.
Before we install Memos, we need to ensure that our system has all the necessary dependencies installed. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install git postgresql postgresql-server nodejs
PostgreSQL is the database that Memos uses to store data. We will install and configure it in this step.
First, initialize your PostgreSQL database:
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
Then start and enable PostgreSQL:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
Next, create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Memos:
sudo -u postgres createuser memos
sudo -u postgres createdb memos
Finally, set a secure password for the Memos user:
sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# ALTER USER memos PASSWORD 'your_password';
postgres=# \q
Now that we have all the dependencies installed and the database set up, we can clone Memos from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos.git
We will install Memos and configure it in this step.
First, navigate to the Memos directory:
cd memos
Then install the required Node.js packages:
npm install
Next, set up the Memos environment variables:
cp .env.example .env
Open the .env
file in your preferred text editor and modify the following variables:
DATABASE_HOST
: Set this to localhost
since we are running the PostgreSQL database on the same machine.DATABASE_NAME
: Set this to memos
or the name of the database you created earlier.DATABASE_USERNAME
: Set this to memos
or the name of the database user you created earlier.DATABASE_PASSWORD
: Set this to the password you set for the database user.We can finally start Memos now that it is installed and configured. Run the following command to start Memos:
npm start
You should now be able to access Memos by navigating to http://localhost:3000
in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Memos on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now create, edit, and organize notes in Memos.
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!
