How to Install Indico on Fedora Server Latest

Indico is a conference and event management system that allows you to manage online and offline events, conferences, workshops, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Indico on the Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, please make sure that your Fedora Server Latest is up to date by running the following command:

dnf update

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, you need to install the required dependencies for Indico. You can do this by running the following command:

dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip python3-wheel python3-setuptools gcc libffi-devel postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-devel

Step 2: Setup PostgreSQL

Indico requires PostgreSQL as its database. You need to set up PostgreSQL by running the following commands:

postgresql-setup --initdb
systemctl enable postgresql
systemctl start postgresql

Afterwards, you must create a user and database for Indico:

su - postgres
createuser -P indico
createdb -O indico indico
exit

Step 3: Install Indico

Now you can install Indico by running the following command:

pip3 install indico

Step 4: Configure Indico

Once Indico is installed, you need to configure it. You can do this by running the following command:

indico setup create_user

This command will guide you through the process of creating a superuser account for Indico.

Next, you need to create the configuration file:

indico setup config

This command will create a configuration file named indico.conf in the /etc/indico directory. You need to edit this file and add the following configuration:

[database]
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = postgresql+psycopg2://indico:password@localhost/indico

[celery]
BROKER_URL = sqla+postgresql://indico:password@localhost/indico

[security]
SECRET_KEY = your_secret_key

Make sure to replace password with the password you set for the indico user in PostgreSQL, and your_secret_key with a unique secret key of your choice. You can create a secret key by running the following command:

openssl rand -hex 32

Finally, you need to create the database schema:

indico db prepare

Step 5: Start Indico

Now you can start Indico by running the following command:

indico run

Indico will start and listen on port 8000. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully installed and configured Indico on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now use Indico to manage your events, conferences, workshops, and more.
