How to Install Redbird on Fedora Server Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Redbird on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Fedora Server Latest installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of the command line
• A terminal window

Installation Process

Follow the steps below to install Redbird on Fedora Server Latest:

1. Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Update the system package database by running the following command:

   sudo dnf update
   

3. Install the necessary dependencies:

   sudo dnf install nodejs npm
   

4. Create a directory for Redbird:

   sudo mkdir /etc/redbird
   

5. Set the correct permissions for the directory:

   sudo chmod 775 /etc/redbird
   sudo chown <your_user>:<your_group> /etc/redbird
   

6. Install Redbird using npm:

   sudo npm install -g redbird
   

7. Create a configuration file for Redbird:

   touch /etc/redbird/config.json
   

8. Edit the configuration file and add your server settings:

   {
       "server": {
           "port": 80
       },
       "proxy": {
           "http": {
               "target": "http://localhost:3000"
           }
       }
   }
   

   In this example, we're setting Redbird to listen on port 80 and proxy all HTTP requests to port 3000.

9. Start the Redbird service:

   sudo redbird /etc/redbird/config.json
   

   You should see output similar to the following:

   Proxy server listening on port 80
   

10. Verify that Redbird is working by opening a web browser and accessing your server's IP address. You should see your application running.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Redbird on Fedora Server Latest.
