StackStorm is an open-source automation platform that allows you to automate your Infrastructure and Operations tasks. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install StackStorm on a Fedora server.
Before installing StackStorm on your Fedora server, you should have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following commands:
sudo dnf install epel-release -y
sudo dnf upgrade -y
sudo dnf install -y git python3 python3-devel python3-pip openssl-devel libffi-devel gcc redhat-rpm-config
StackStorm requires a message broker to handle communication between different components. RabbitMQ is our recommended message broker. To install RabbitMQ, run the following command:
sudo dnf install rabbitmq-server -y
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
Now it's time to install StackStorm. Run the following commands to download and install StackStorm:
wget -qO- https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | bash
This script will install all the required packages and dependencies for StackStorm.
Once the installation is complete, you need to start the StackStorm services. Run the following command to start all StackStorm services:
sudo systemctl start st2
sudo systemctl enable st2
sudo systemctl start st2sensorcontainer
sudo systemctl enable st2sensorcontainer
Now that StackStorm is installed and running, you need to configure it. Run the following commands to set up the StackStorm credentials:
sudo st2ctl reload
sudo st2ctl start
sudo st2ctl config user add basic_auth_user -p basic_auth_password --role admin
Finally, we can test if StackStorm is working correctly. Run the following command to check the status of StackStorm:
sudo st2ctl status
If everything is working correctly, you should see a message indicating that StackStorm is running successfully.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure StackStorm on a Fedora server. With StackStorm, you can easily automate your infrastructure and operations tasks, increasing productivity and efficiency.
