How to Install Outline Server on Fedora Server Latest

Outline Server is an open-source tool that enables you to create a virtual private network (VPN) on your own server. Your VPN server will allow you to connect securely to your home network from anywhere in the world.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Outline Server on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora Server Latest (64-bit version)
• A sudo user account

Step 1 - Install Docker on Fedora Server Latest

Outline Server uses Docker to containerize the application and its dependencies. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your server first.

1. Open a terminal on your server and update the package list with the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

2. Install Docker and its dependencies with the following command:

sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

3. Start the Docker service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

4. Make sure that Docker is running by checking its status with the following command:

sudo systemctl status docker

If Docker is running, you will see a message indicating that the service is active and running.

Step 2 - Install Outline Server

1. Create a directory to store Outline Server’s configuration and key files by running the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/outline/config

2. Change the directory’s ownership to the current user by running the following command:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/outline

3. Install Outline Server container by running the following command:

sudo docker run --name=outline -v /opt/outline/config:/opt/outline/config -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8443:8443 -d jigsawcoders/outline:v1.2.1-1

• The -v flag is used to mount the local directory /opt/outline/config to the container directory /opt/outline/config.
• The -p flag is used to bind the ports 80, 443, and 8443 of the host to the corresponding ports of the container.
• The -d flag is used to run the container in the background.

This command will download the latest version of Outline Server and run it inside a Docker container with the name outline.

You may specify any other port number for the host ports.

Step 3 - Configure Outline Server

1. Open your web browser and navigate to https://your-server-ip-address:8443. You will see the Outline welcome page.

2. Follow the instructions on the page to create a new Outline server.

3. After you have created the server, click the “Download Outline” button and follow the prompts to download and install the Outline client on your device.

4. Open the Outline client and import the access key by clicking the “Import Access Key” button and pasting the access key that you copied from the Outline server in the previous step.

5. Connect to your Outline server by clicking the “Connect” button.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Outline Server on Fedora Server Latest and created a private VPN server that you can access securely from anywhere in the world.
