How to Install Talkyard on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Talkyard is a modern online forum software that is easy to deploy and manage. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Talkyard on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Step 1: Prepare the System

Before installing Talkyard, make sure that your Fedora CoreOS system is up to date. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo rpm-ostree update

Step 2: Install Docker

Talkyard requires Docker to run. To install Docker, run the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 3: Download the Talkyard Image

The next step is to download the Talkyard Docker image from the Docker Hub. To do this, run the following command:

sudo docker pull d11/talkyard-prod

Step 4: Configure the Database

Talkyard requires a PostgreSQL database to work. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install postgresql

Once the installation is complete, start the PostgreSQL service by running:

sudo systemctl start postgresql

Next, create a new database and user for Talkyard by running the following commands:

sudo su postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE talkyard;
CREATE USER talkyard WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE talkyard TO talkyard;

Replace password with a strong password for the Talkyard database user.

Step 5: Configure Talkyard

To configure Talkyard, create a new configuration file by running the following command:

sudo mkdir /etc/talkyard
sudo touch /etc/talkyard/talkyard.conf
sudo nano /etc/talkyard/talkyard.conf

Add the following configuration to the talkyard.conf file:

dbType: "postgresql"
dbUrl: "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/talkyard"
dbUser: "talkyard"
dbPassword: "password"

Replace password with the password that you set for the Talkyard database user in Step 4.

Step 6: Start Talkyard

Finally, start Talkyard by running the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name talkyard \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
-e TALKYARD_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/talkyard/conf/talkyard.conf \
-v /etc/talkyard:/opt/talkyard/conf \
-v /var/talkyard:/opt/talkyard/database \
d11/talkyard-prod

This command will start Talkyard as a Docker container and bind it to ports 80 and 443.
