Thredded is a popular open-source forum software developed in Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thredded on Fedora Server.
Before you start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Thredded is built on Ruby on Rails, so you need to install Ruby and RubyGems on your system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf install ruby rubygems
Once the installation is complete, verify the version of Ruby by running the following command:
ruby -v
It should show you the version of Ruby installed on your system.
You need to install some required packages like GCC, make, libxml2, and SQLite3. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo dnf install gcc make libxml2-devel sqlite-devel
Thredded uses Bundler to manage its dependencies. To install Bundler, run the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
Once installed, verify the installation by running the following command:
bundler -v
It should show you the version of Bundler installed on your system.
Now you can install Thredded using the following command:
sudo gem install thredded
Once the installation is complete, Thredded will be installed on your system.
Now that you have installed Thredded, you can create a new Thredded application. To do this, run the following command:
thredded new myforum
This will create a new Thredded application with the name myforum. You can replace myforum with the name of your choice.
Now you can start the Thredded application by running the following command:
cd myforum
rails server
This will start the application on port 3000. You can access the application by going to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Thredded on Fedora Server. We also showed you how to create a new Thredded application and start the server. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the official Thredded documentation for help.
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!
