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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Talkyard on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Access the Talkyard instance by opening a web browser and navigating to your server's IP address.
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!
