How to Install Rustpad on Fedora Server Latest

Rustpad is a web-based real-time collaborative text editor for programming. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Rustpad on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to have a few things in place:

• A Fedora Server Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Node.js

Rustpad is built on Node.js, so you need to have it installed on your Fedora Server. To install Node.js, run the following command:

sudo dnf install nodejs

Once it is installed, check its version by running the following command:

node -v

Step 2: Install Rustpad

Now that Node.js is installed, the next step is to install Rustpad. You can do this by using the npm package manager. Run the following command to install Rustpad:

sudo npm install -g rustpad

Once it is installed, verify it is working properly:

rustpad --version

Step 3: Configure Rustpad

The next step is to configure Rustpad. There are several configuration options available for Rustpad, and the default settings may not apply to your specific use case. To configure Rustpad, you need to create a configuration file.

Create a new file /usr/local/etc/rustpad/config.json and populate it with the following:

{
  "server": {
    "port": 3000,
    "external": null,
    "static-dir": null,
    "max-connections": 128,
    "log-level": "info",
    "secret-key": "changeme"
  },
  "database": "data/db.sqlite",
  "theme": "classic",
  "fonts": ["JetBrains Mono", "monospace"]
}

You can change the values of the configuration options to suit your needs. For example, you can change the port number if you want Rustpad to listen on a different port.

Step 4: Start Rustpad

Now you are ready to start Rustpad. To start Rustpad, run the following command:

rustpad start --config /usr/local/etc/rustpad/config.json

This will start Rustpad in the background. You can now access Rustpad by visiting http://<server-host-name>:3000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Rustpad on a Fedora Server Latest. You have also learned how to configure Rustpad and start it. Rustpad is a powerful tool for real-time collaborative text editing, and it can be a valuable addition to any development team.
