Fedora 34 is a distribution sponsored by RHEL which makes it inherit several of its security policies. Of course Fedora 34 is oriented to the average Linux user, so no major security policies are required. However, it is one of the most secure Linux distributions out there. So it is very common to see that there are Linux developers who choose it for their web projects. This is where Nginx becomes almost indispensable.

About Nginx we have talked a lot on our website, however, I will briefly explain that it is an open source web server. Its main advantage over Apache is that it is very lightweight and response times to large requests are very low. That is, it is ideal if you are going to handle a lot of simulated connections. Or yes, the web application is complex and requires many requests to the server. In any case, we are in the presence of a fantastic web server. So, let us get Nginx on Fedora 34.

Install Nginx on Fedora 34

First of all, you need to know the name of the particular package. To do this, we’ll use dnf to get it. So, open a terminal and run:

:~$ sudo dnf search nginx

As you can see in the image, there are several packages related to nginx in the Fedora 34 repositories. However, we need to install the nginx package.

:~$ sudo dnf install nginx

After confirm the process, the download and installation will begin.

Then, when the installation is finished, we must start the Nginx service in order for it to work. To do this, type the following command:

:~$ sudo systemctl start nginx

Also, if you want nginx to start with the system, run this command:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable nginx

Next, open your favorite web browser and go to http://localhost and you will see this.

So, that is it.

Conclusion

Installing Nginx is very simple but it is good to keep it in mind especially if you are new to this Linux distribution. Nginx is very powerful and makes many websites agile to the many requests made to it.

Things to do after installing Fedora 30

1) Upgrade the system

Certainly, Fedora is a fairly up to date distribution in terms of its package. However, from the time a new version is released until we install it, it is likely that several days have passed. Or weeks. Or months. In all that time, the development team begins to release security patches that correct or improve the system. In addition, new versions of the installed programs can also be released. So open a terminal and run:

:~$ sudo dnf update

As you can see in the image, there are many updates that I have available at the moment. Including the kernel that adds security fixes. That is, doing this frequently is a good way to keep Fedora 30 stable. So do it.

2) Install codecs multimedia

The use of a computer nowadays varies according to the user. There are many that are their formal working environment, but for others it is simply for basic tasks. For others it is just leisure.

However, all users at some point, need to play or work with multimedia files, whether images, photos or videos. Then, you have to install the multimedia codecs to be able to do it.

:~$ sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras libdvdread libdvdnav lsdvd

Now, you can enjoy all the content you can imagine in Fedora 30.

3) Install compression files support

Finally, it is necessary to install support for compressed files. This way you can manipulate popular formats such as .zip or .rar. Although the best of them is .7z.

To do this, run the following command on the terminal:

:~$ sudo dnf install p7zip p7zip-plugins

And that’s it.

Remember that each user does their own things after installing Fedora 30, but here I wanted to highlight the most important ones as soon as the system has been installed.

After installing Fedora 30 conclusion

Fedora 30 is used by many different people. Each of them with quite different systems and this tests the versatility of the distribution. However, Fedora 30 is not perfect and many of those users install packages and do things to improve. Today we show you some urgent things that many users do as soon as they install Fedora 30.

In general, we can say that this version of Fedora has meant a general update of the package. At this level, they stand out with two things. First, the presence of Linux Kernel 5 that we spoke about at the time. This new version of the Linux kernel has a lot of support for new hardware and also adds improvements to ARM support.

On the other hand, GNOME 3.32 is a big improvement in the performance of many people’s favorite desktop environment. And Fedora 30 includes this version. So, on the one hand, we’re talking about a version with the latest hardware support and considerably higher performance than previous versions.

So let us show you how to install it. First of all, it is quite easy to do it thanks to the Anaconda installer.

Install Fedora 30

First, you need to visit Fedora’s website to download the ISO. Remember that the default desktop environment is GNOME, but there are other Spins with Plasma, Cinnamon and other environments. For this case, I will use GNOME.

After that, make a bootable USB. For that, we have a nice post. Next, we can start.

The first screen you will see is the choice of language. Fedora 30 supports a lot of languages. We will have no problem finding ours.

Then, on another screen, you can set the time zone. It is easy to do. There you can start partitioning.

Now, it is time to do the partitioning. As it is a test, I have opted for automatic partitioning. But you can select the disk and do it manually. Then you will see the summary. Be careful because you could delete important information.

Then, you can start the process.

Once you have completed the installation, you have to restart the computer. Then, complete the privacy information and create the user. After that, you will have your Fedora 30 ready to use. As you can see, it is quite simple.

First impression on Fedora 30

This new version of Fedora behaves quite well, actually. You notice the improvement in performance thanks to GNOME 3.32. On the one hand, I like that there are not so many applications installed by default, although I understand that for beginners this can result in a problem.

On the other hand, Fedora 30 did not have problems installing itself in the environment where I tested it, so I assume that Kernel 5 has done its job correctly.

So for now, everything has gone well from hardware to software.

Conclusion

In these days of news, Fedora has released a new version that comes to update the essential components of the distribution. However, every day the installation process is made even easier, making it faster.
