???? Getting started
Installation
There are two installation options to start application development with Openkoda:
Building from sources
Running as a Docker container
Option #1: Build from Source
Prerequisites:
Git, Java 17+, Maven 3.8+, PostgreSQL 14+
Create an empty database Clone or download this Git repository Build application with maven:
mvn -f openkoda/pom.xml clean install spring-boot:repackage -DskipTests
Initialize the database in a first run:
java -Dloader.path=/BOOT-INF/classes -Dspring.profiles.active=openkoda,drop_and_init_database -jar openkoda.jar --server.port=<http port>
Run Openkoda
java -Dloader.path=/BOOT-INF/classes -Dsecure.cookie=false -jar openkoda.jar --spring.profiles.active=openkoda --server.port=<http port>
Detailed instructions can be found in the Installation manual.
Option #2: Run as a Docker Container
Docker images are available at Docker Hub : https://hub.docker.com/r/openkoda/openkoda
It can be launched via simple:
docker pull openkoda/openkoda:latest
Please note that in that case Postgres needs to be already in place and SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL , SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME , SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD env variables needs to be adjusted when running docker (see Docker Hub for detailed options)
Docker compose
A simpler option may be to use the Docker Compose scripts located in the: ./docker/docker-compose.yaml and ./docker/docker-compose-no-db.yaml - depending on your preference, with or without Postgres as a part of the docker service. Here is a useful one-liner :
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openkoda/openkoda/main/docker/docker-compose.yaml | docker compose -f - up
