Introduction

Frab is an open-source conference management system that allows you to manage conference schedules, create and manage proposals, and collaborate with other organizers to make the conference a success. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Frab on the Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora Server Latest
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command line

Step 1: Update System Packages

Before installing any new software, it's a good idea to update your system packages. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Frab requires several packages to work correctly. To install them, run the following command:

sudo dnf install git gcc make zlib-devel ruby ruby-devel rubygems

Step 3: Clone Frab Repository

First, you need to clone the Frab repository to your server. You can do this by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/frab/frab.git
cd frab

Step 4: Install Ruby Dependencies

Frab requires several Ruby dependencies to work correctly. You can install them using the following command:

sudo gem install bundler
bundle install --without mysql postgresql

Step 5: Configure Frab

Frab configuration is stored in the .env.production file. You can copy the sample file config/unicorn.rb.example to create the configuration file using the following command:

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/unicorn.rb.example config/unicorn.rb
cp .env.example .env.production

Step 6: Create Database

Frab requires a database to store its data. You can create a database using the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:create
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate

Step 7: Start Frab Server

You can start Frab server using the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb

Step 8: Open Firewall Port

If you have a firewall enabled, you need to open port 8080 to allow access to the Frab web interface. You can do this using the following command:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 9: Access Frab Web Interface

You can now access Frab web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_server_ip:8080. You should see the Frab login page. Use the default username admin and password frab.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Frab on the Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using Frab to manage your conferences.
