Talkyard is an open-source discussion platform that enables people to have conversations, ask questions, and share ideas. It supports different types of communication, such as private messaging and public discussions. This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to install Talkyard on OpenSUSE using Docker.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before we can install Talkyard, we need to first install Docker. Docker allows us to run the Talkyard application in a container. To install Docker on OpenSUSE, follow these steps:
Open a terminal or command-line interface.
Use the following command to add the Docker repository:
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.docker.com/linux/opensuse/15.3/standard/x86_64/docker-ce.repo
Update the package cache by running the command:
sudo zypper ref
Finally, use the following command to install Docker:
sudo zypper in docker-ce
After the installation is complete, start the Docker daemon:
sudo systemctl start docker
Verify that Docker is running by running the following command:
sudo docker version
If Docker is installed correctly, it should display the version of Docker installed on your system.
After installing Docker, we can download the Talkyard application. To download Talkyard, run the following command:
sudo docker pull debiki/talkyard-appserver:latest
This command downloads the latest version of Talkyard from the official Docker Hub repository.
Now that we have Docker and Talkyard installed, we can start Talkyard by running the following command:
sudo docker run -it --rm -p 80:80 debiki/talkyard-appserver
This command starts a new Docker container and runs the Talkyard application. It also maps port 80 on the container to port 80 on the host system, allowing users to access the application via a web browser.
To access Talkyard, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your OpenSUSE system followed by the port number (80 by default). For example, if your system's IP address is 192.168.1.100, enter http://192.168.1.100:80 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Talkyard on OpenSUSE Latest using Docker.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
