Installation instructions

1. As prerequisites, you need to have Java 17+ and PostgreSQL 9.6+ installed. In all major Linux distributions, you can install them from the main package repository.

2. Create a PostgreSQL user <username> with password <password> and an empty database <dbname> owned by this user (see detailed instructions).

3. Create a directory <media>, where the server will keep media files.

4. Go to the source directory.

5. Create application-dev.yml file with the following content (see details about configuration):

   spring:
     datasource:
       url: jdbc:postgresql:<dbname>?characterEncoding=UTF-8
       username: <username>
       password: <password>
     flyway:
       user: <username>
       password: <password>
   node:
     root-secret: <secret>
     media:
       path: <media>

   <secret> must be a long random string of letters and digits without spaces.

6. By default, the server runs on port 8081. If you want it to run on a different port, add these lines to the file above:

   server:
     port: <port number>

7. Execute ./run script.

8. If you use your own naming server, make sure its location is set correctly in node settings.
