In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing ToolJet on a Fedora server.
Before installing any software, it's always best to update the system to its latest version. To do this, you can run the following command:
sudo dnf update
ToolJet requires MongoDB, so we need to install it first. Run the following command to install and enable MongoDB:
sudo dnf install mongodb-server -y && sudo systemctl enable mongod && sudo systemctl start mongod
After the installation, run the following command to ensure that MongoDB is running:
sudo systemctl status mongod
ToolJet is built on Node.js, so we need to install it. Run the following command to install Node.js and npm:
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
To install ToolJet, we need to clone its Git repository. Run the following commands to do so:
sudo dnf install git -y && git clone https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet.git
Next, navigate to the ToolJet root directory:
cd ToolJet
Now, install the required dependencies using npm:
npm install
Finally, start the ToolJet server:
npm start
ToolJet should now be up and running on your Fedora server. To access it, open a web browser and enter the server's IP address followed by port number 3000 (assuming you haven't changed the default port):
http://<server_IP>:3000
You should now see the ToolJet login page. If you are accessing it for the first time, you'll need to create an account to proceed.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the process of installing ToolJet on a Fedora server. With ToolJet, you can easily create and deploy apps, automations, and custom integrations without having to write any code. Happy building!
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!
