In this tutorial, we will be installing Strider on a Fedora server. Strider is a continuous integration and deployment platform that helps streamline the development process.
Before installing Strider, it is always a good practice to update the system packages to their latest version. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf update
Once the system is updated, install the dependencies needed for the Strider installation process:
sudo dnf install gcc-c++ make python3 python3-devel python3-pip git mongodb mongodb-server
First, we need to download the Strider repository from GitHub using the git command:
git clone https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider.git
Then, move to the Strider directory using:
cd strider
Finally, install the required packages using:
sudo npm install --production
This will install all the required packages for Strider.
Before starting the Strider service, we need to configure it. To do this, create a .env file in the Strider directory using the following command:
sudo nano .env
Add the following configuration values:
DB_URI=mongodb://localhost/strider
SERVER_NAME=your-server-name-goes-here
SERVER_PORT=3000
Here, replace your-server-name-goes-here with the hostname or IP address of your server.
Save and close the file.
To start the Strider service, run the following command:
sudo npm start
Once the service is started, you can access the Strider dashboard by visiting http://your-server-name-goes-here:3000 or http://your-server-ip-address:3000 in your favorite web browser.
You can then log in as the admin user with the following credentials:
adminstriderIn this tutorial, you learned how to install Strider on a Fedora server. You also configured and started the Strider service. With Strider, you can streamline your development process and improve the speed and quality of your code deployments.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
