In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Trudesk, an open-source help desk ticketing system, on Fedora Server Latest.
Let's get started!
Before we begin, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
It is very important to run the latest packages and updates to ensure smooth installation.
To update your system, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Trudesk is built using Node.js. Therefore, we need to install Node.js on our system.
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
Verify the Node.js installation by running the following command:
node -v
The output should display the version of Node.js installed.
Trudesk uses MongoDB as its database, so we need to install it on our system.
To install MongoDB, run the following command:
sudo dnf install mongodb -y
Start the MongoDB service and set it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod
Verify the MongoDB installation by running the following command:
mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'
Git is a version control system used to clone Trudesk. Install Git by running the following command:
sudo dnf install git -y
Clone Trudesk from its official repository using Git by running the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/polonel/trudesk.git
Change to the Trudesk directory:
cd trudesk
Checkout the stable branch for the version of Trudesk that you want to install:
git checkout tags/v1.0.0
Trudesk has a lot of dependencies. To download and install them, run the following command in the trudesk directory:
sudo npm install
After the dependencies are installed, we need to set up the configurations for Trudesk.
Copy the sample environment file:
cp .env.sample .env
Open the .env file:
nano .env
Update the necessary configuration parameters such as MongoDB URL and email settings in the .env file.
Save and close the file.
Trudesk is now ready to be started.
Run the following command in the trudesk directory:
sudo npm start
After starting the service, Trudesk should be available at http://localhost:8118.
In this tutorial, we have installed Trudesk on Fedora Server Latest by installing Node.js, MongoDB, Git, cloning Trudesk, installing dependencies, and setting up the configurations. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you, and you can now proceed to explore Trudesk.
