How to Install Scoold on OpenBSD

Scoold is a Q&A platform that can be used by companies or communities to share knowledge and expertise. In this tutorial, we'll be installing Scoold on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• OpenBSD 6.8 or higher.
• PostgreSQL 12.6 or higher.

Step 1: Install Java

Scoold requires Java to run. Let's install the OpenJDK package:

$ doas pkg_add openjdk

Step 2: Download and Install Scoold

Next, we'll download and install Scoold. You can download the latest version from the official website:

$ cd /tmp
$ ftp https://github.com/Erudika/scoold/releases/download/v1.43.5/scoold-1.43.5.jar

Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL database

Scoold uses a PostgreSQL database to store the data. Let's create a database and a user for Scoold:

$ doas su - postgres
$ createuser -P scoold
$ createdb -O scoold scoold_db

Step 4: Start Scoold

We're now ready to start Scoold. We'll need to specify the database URL, username, and password as environment variables before starting Scoold:

$ export JDBC_DATABASE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/scoold_db
$ export JDBC_DATABASE_USERNAME=scoold
$ export JDBC_DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password>
$ java -jar scoold-1.43.5.jar

Replace <password> with the password you entered for the scoold user.

You should see output similar to the following:

18:15:39.515 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.util.log - Logging initialized @683ms
18:15:39.540 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server - jetty-9.4.z-SNAPSHOT; built: 2021-02-08T16:06:51.165Z; git: 85d2134813a6534623ba1beb057f19b384dd977e; jvm 11.0.10+9

Step 5: Access Scoold

Scoold is now running on port 8080. You can access it by visiting http://localhost:8080 in a web browser.
