In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OS.js on Fedora Server Latest. OS.js is a web-based desktop environment that allows you to access your files, applications, and system settings in one place.
Before proceeding with the installation, update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date.
sudo dnf update -y
OS.js requires Node.js to run. Install Node.js by running the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
To verify if Node.js is working, you can run the following command:
node -v
It should output the version number of Node.js.
In this step, we will install OS.js using NPM, a package manager for Node.js. Run the following command to install OS.js:
sudo npm install -g osjs@latest
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure OS.js before running it. Run the following command to create a configuration file:
osjs generate:config
This will create a configuration file named osjs.conf which you need to edit to specify the details of your OS.js installation, such as the port you want to use, the theme, etc.
Next, run the following command to create the necessary directories for OS.js:
osjs build
Now, you can start the OS.js server by running the following command:
osjs serve
You can then access OS.js by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in any web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install OS.js on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using OS.js to access your files, applications, and system settings from a single web-based desktop environment.
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!
