How to Install Pomerium on Fedora Server Latest

Pomerium is an open-source, identity-aware access proxy that grants secure access to internal applications. It's easy to install and use on Fedora Server using the following steps:

Prerequisites

Before you install Pomerium, ensure your system meets the following requirements.

• Fedora Server Latest version installed
• A user account with administrative privileges (sudo)

Steps to Install Pomerium

1. Open a terminal window and update your Fedora Server packages by running the following command:

   sudo dnf update
   

2. Install Golang, a programming language, by running the following command:

   sudo dnf install golang
   

3. Create a directory to keep your Pomerium config file by running the following command:

   sudo mkdir /etc/pomerium
   

4. Download the Pomerium binary from their official website using the following command:

   wget https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium/releases/latest/download/pomerium-linux-amd64 
   

5. Once the download is complete, move the binary to /usr/local/bin:

   sudo mv pomerium-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/pomerium
   

6. Next, create a Pomerium service file in /etc/systemd/system/:

   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pomerium.service
   

7. Paste the following content in the service file:

   [Unit]
   Description=Pomerium
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/pomerium ./config.yaml
   WorkingDirectory=/etc/pomerium/
   Restart=always
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

8. Save and close the file by pressing CTRL + X, Y, then Enter.

9. Create a Pomerium config file called config.yaml in /etc/pomerium/:

   sudo nano /etc/pomerium/config.yaml
   

10. Paste your preferred configuration in the file. For example:

    pomerium:
      proxy_addr: ":80"        
    

    This configuration enables Pomerium to listen on port 80 for incoming traffic.

11. Save and close the file.

12. Reload the systemd daemon to apply changes:

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    

13. Start the Pomerium service using:

    sudo systemctl start pomerium
    

You can now verify that Pomerium is running by checking the status using the command:

sudo systemctl status pomerium

You have successfully installed Pomerium on your Fedora Server Latest! You can now use Pomerium to grant secure access to your internal applications.
