Tiledesk is an open-source chatbot platform that can be easily installed on a server to enable automation of customer service in businesses. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tiledesk on a Fedora server.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
To run Tiledesk on your Fedora server, you need to install some dependencies first. In your terminal, run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y curl gnupg2 lsb-release
Tiledesk requires Node.js to run. You can install Node.js using the Node.js Version Manager (NVM). Run the following commands:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
Once NVM has been installed, close and reopen your terminal window.
nvm install node
This will install the latest stable version of Node.js.
Tiledesk requires a MongoDB database to store chat data. To install MongoDB, run the following commands:
sudo dnf install -y mongodb
After installation, you can start the MongoDB service:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
You can verify the status of the MongoDB service with:
sudo systemctl status mongodb
To install Tiledesk, run the following commands:
sudo curl -fsSL https://get.tiledesk.com/ | sh
This will install Tiledesk and its dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you can start the Tiledesk service:
sudo systemctl start tiledesk
You can verify the status of the Tiledesk service with:
sudo systemctl status tiledesk
Once Tiledesk is installed and the service is running, you can access the Tiledesk dashboard in your web browser at http://<your-server-ip>:3000.
You can log in with the credentials admin@tiledesk.com and admin.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Tiledesk on a Fedora server. You should now be able to get started with your own chatbot platform on your 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!
