In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Talkyard on Debian latest.
Talkyard is an open-source, self-hosted forum software. It is written in Scala and can be installed on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Talkyard provides a user-friendly interface that can help businesses to build and manage their communities.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update the Debian system. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Talkyard is written in Scala and requires Java to run. We can install Java on Debian by running the following command:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk-headless -y
Talkyard requires a database to store data. We will use PostgreSQL for this purpose. We can install PostgreSQL on Debian by running the following command:
sudo apt install postgresql -y
Next, we need to create a new PostgreSQL user for Talkyard. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P talkyard
Enter a strong password for the user when prompted.
Next, we need to create a new PostgreSQL database for Talkyard. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb talkyard
Now, we are ready to install Talkyard on Debian latest. We can download the latest release from the official website by running the following command:
curl -Ls https://www.talkyard.io/-/downloads/talkyard-prod-one-server-installer-2012.sh | bash /dev/stdin
This will download the latest Talkyard release and run the setup script. The setup script will prompt you to select the installation directory, database URL, and administrator email address.
After entering the required information, the installation process will begin. This may take a few minutes to complete.
Once the installation is complete, we can access Talkyard by visiting the following URL in our web browser:
http://<server-ip-address>:9000/
Replace <server-ip-address> with your server's IP address.
You will be prompted to create a new administrator account. After creating the administrator account, you will be redirected to the Talkyard dashboard.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Talkyard on Debian latest. Now, you can start building and managing your online community with this powerful open-source forum software.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
