How to Install Pachno on Fedora Server

Pachno is a free and open-source permission-based approach to container orchestration, which allows you to manage containers using Kubernetes Operator patterns. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pachno on the latest version of Fedora server.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora 33 or later.
• A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Add the Pachno repository

First, we need to add the Pachno repository to our Fedora server. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Update the package list with the command below:

   sudo dnf update -y
   

2. Add the Pachno repository with the following command:

   sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://pach.no/repo/rpm/pachno.repo
   

Step 2: Install the Pachno Operator

After adding the repository, we can now install the Pachno Operator Package. To do this, run the command below:

sudo dnf install pachno-operator -y

Step 3: Verify the Pachno installation

Once the installation is complete, we need to check if the Pachno operator is running. To do this, run the command below:

sudo systemctl status pachno-operator

If the Pachno operator is running, you will see an output similar to the one below:

● pachno-operator.service - Pachno Operator
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pachno-operator.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2021-09-08 12:56:57 EDT; 3s ago
  Process: 16972 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/cache/pachno-operator (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 16974 (python)
    Tasks: 5 (limit: 2442)
   Memory: 44.5M
   CGroup: /system.slice/pachno-operator.service
           └─16974 /usr/bin/python -u /usr/bin/pachno-operator

Sep 08 12:56:57 workstation systemd[1]: Started Pachno Operator.

Step 4: Access Pachno Dashboard

By default, Pachno's web interface listens on port 8080. Therefore, we need to configure a firewall rule to allow inbound traffic on that port.

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

You can now access the Pachno dashboard by opening your web browser and visiting http://your-server-ip:8080/.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Pachno on Fedora Server. You can now use Pachno to manage your container orchestration environment through its powerful Operator pattern.
