Run Virola-server in Docker Container on Fedora Linux

We tested this instruction on freshly installed Fedora Linux 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41

1. Install Docker Engine on Fedora Linux

   sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
   sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
   sudo dnf -y install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
   sudo systemctl start docker
   

2. Download the Virola Server Docker Image

   wget https://virola.io/downloads/2.5.1.25040115/virola-server-docker-2.5.1.25040115.tar.gz
   

3. Load the Docker Image into Container
   

   sudo docker load < virola-server-docker-2.5.1.25040115.tar.gz
   

4. Run Virola server in Docker

   sudo docker run -it --rm -p 8888:7777/tcp -p 8888:7777/udp -v $HOME/virola-storage:/virola providesupport/virola-server:latest
   

   Where:
   • 8888 — the port you want to listen on from the outside and to which the virola client will connect. Can be any valid port number (from 1 to 65535), but must be the same for both TCP and UDP protocols;
   • 7777 — is the port inside the Docker container, which must be 7777 and cannot be changed.
   You may also need to open the TCP and UDP ports in the system firewall.
