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:
