Fider uses a NoSQL database known as MongoDB to store data. In this step, we will add the MongoDB repository by running the command below.
curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/4.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
After adding the MongoDB repository to the server, update and upgrade the repositories by running:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Install MongoDB by running the command below:
sudo apt install mongodb-org -y
Since MongoDB is not started automatically, open the terminal run start the MongoDB service.
sudo systemctl start mongod
Clone the Fider repository using Git by running the command below:
git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git
Fider is containerized with Docker, which is required for its operation. Install Docker using the command below:
sudo apt install docker.io -y
In the cloned Fider repository, build the Fider Docker image.
cd fider/
sudo docker build -t fider .
After building the Docker image, run the Fider Docker container by running the command below:
sudo docker run -d --name fider --restart always -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -e "SERVER_NAME=yourdomain.com" fider
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name. Access Fider on http://yourdomain.com.
