Syncloud is a self-hosted solution designed to manage and run web applications on your own server. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Syncloud on Fedora Server latest.
Before you begin with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
Start by installing the required dependencies for Syncloud. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo dnf install libwebsockets libwebsockets-devel libev libev-devel mariadb mariadb-devel mariadb-server redis
This command installs the necessary dependencies for Syncloud to function correctly.
Visit the Syncloud website and download the latest version of Syncloud in tar.gz format.
wget https://github.com/syncloud/platform/releases/latest/download/syncloud-platform-1.7.0.tar.gz
Once downloaded, extract the archive using the following command:
sudo tar -xzf syncloud-platform-1.7.0.tar.gz -C /opt/
This command extracts the Syncloud archive and places it in the /opt directory.
After extracting the Syncloud archive, you need to set it up. Start by navigating to the Syncloud directory using the following command:
cd /opt/syncloud
Next, run the setup script using the following command:
sudo ./setup.sh
This command sets up Syncloud on your Fedora Server.
To start Syncloud services, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start syncloud
You can check the status of Syncloud services using the following command:
sudo systemctl status syncloud
If Syncloud services are up and running, you should see the following output:
● syncloud.service - Syncloud
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/syncloud.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-10-25 11:57:00 UTC; 17s ago
Process: 9342 ExecStartPre=/opt/syncloud/provision/providers/initctl.py start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 9345 ExecStartPre=/opt/syncloud/provision/providers/initctl.py run (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 9362 ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/syncloud/src/main.py (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 9363 (python3)

Memory: 226.1M
CGroup: /system.slice/syncloud.service
└─9363 /usr/bin/python3 /opt/syncloud/src/main.py
Finally, you need to configure the firewall to allow access to Syncloud services. Run the following commands to open the necessary ports:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=333/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
These commands open ports 80, 443, and 333 required by Syncloud.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Syncloud on Fedora Server latest. You can now use Syncloud to manage and run web applications on your own server.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
