How to Install Scoold on Fedora Server Latest

Scoold is an open-source Q&A platform that can be used to create a community-driven knowledge base or as a collaborative platform for teams. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Scoold on a Fedora server.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Scoold, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version using the following commands:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install OpenJDK

Scoold requires Java to run. Therefore, install OpenJDK using the following commands:

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk -y

Step 3: Download and Extract Scoold

Download the latest Scoold release from the official website, or you can use the following command to download it:

sudo wget https://github.com/Erudika/scoold/releases/download/v1.49/scoold-1.49.zip -O scoold.zip

Now, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

sudo unzip scoold.zip -d /opt/scoold/

Step 4: Configure the Database

Scoold uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB on your server, use the following command:

sudo dnf install mongodb -y

Once installed, you need to create a new database and user for Scoold. To do that, open the MongoDB shell using the following command:

mongo

Now, create a new database and user by entering the following commands:

use my-scoold-db
db.createUser({
    user: "scoold-user",
    pwd: "scoold-pass",
    roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin"]
})

Note: Replace my-scoold-db, scoold-user, and scoold-pass with your preferred values.

Step 5: Configure Application Properties

Navigate to the Scoold directory and edit the application.conf file using the following command:

sudo nano /opt/scoold/conf/application.conf

Find the following lines and modify them as shown below:

mongodb.uri="mongodb://localhost/my-scoold-db"
mongodb.user="scoold-user"
mongodb.password="scoold-pass"

Note: Replace my-scoold-db, scoold-user, and scoold-pass with the values you used in Step 4.

Step 6: Start Scoold

To start Scoold, navigate to the Scoold directory using the following command:

cd /opt/scoold/

Now, start the Scoold application using the following command:

sudo java -jar -Dconfig.file=/opt/scoold/conf/application.conf /opt/scoold/scoold-1.49.jar

Step 7: Access the Scoold Platform

Once the application has started successfully, you can access the Scoold platform on your server's IP address using a web browser. For example:

http://<server-ip-address>:9000/

Note: Replace <server-ip-address> with your server's IP address.
