Scoold is a free and open-source Q&A platform that is designed to simplify knowledge management within teams and organizations. Scoold is built on top of the popular Spring Framework and uses PostgreSQL as its default database.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Scoold on Kali Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have the following:
Scoold uses PostgreSQL as its default database, so we need to install it first. Run the following commands to install PostgreSQL:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
After the installation is complete, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
Next, we need to create a new user and database for Scoold. Run the following commands to log in to the PostgreSQL Shell:
sudo -u postgres psql
Now, run the following commands to create a new user and database:
CREATE USER scoold WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE scoold;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE scoold TO scoold;
Make sure to replace the password with a strong password of your choice.
Exit the PostgreSQL Shell by running this command:
\q
Run the following commands to download and install Scoold:
wget https://github.com/Erudika/scoold/releases/download/v1.48.0/scoold-1.48.0.jar
sudo cp scoold-1.48.0.jar /opt/scoold/scoold.jar
Create a new systemd service for Scoold by running this command:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/scoold.service
and add the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Scoold
After=syslog.target
[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/scoold/scoold.jar
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save and close the file.
Reload systemd and start the Scoold service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start scoold
sudo systemctl enable scoold
You can now access Scoold on http://localhost:8080.
