1. Make sure that your system is up to date.
sudo apt update -y
2. Docker requires some dependencies to be installed on your system.
sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
3. Add Docker's official GPG key.
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
4. Use Docker's stable repository.
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
5. Update your system.
sudo apt update -y
6. Install Docker Engine and it's related packages.
sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
7. Test that the Docker Engine was successfully installed.
sudo docker run hello-world
8. Download the Docker Compose repository.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
9. Change the permission of downloaded Docker Compose binaries.

MariaDB is recommended over MySQL as it brings better performance but MySQL will still work with Feedbacky if you already have it installed.
Additional configuration needed, do not skip this part if you already have MariaDB installed.
1. Update your system.
sudo apt update -y
2. Install the MariaDB server package.
sudo apt install -y mariadb-server
3. Run and go through the security script.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
The script will ask you to set a root password, press
N
to skip it. The root password is already tied to the system on Ubuntu and changing it could result in MariaDB breaking.Additional Configuration
Docker will treat your container as a remote machine, we need to change the value of
bind-address
in order to accept non localhost connections.4. Edit your
50-server.cnf
.sudo nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf
5. Change the value of
bind-address
to 0.0.0.0
.50-server.cnf
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
6. Save the file with
CTRL
+ S
and exit nano with CTRL
+ C
.7. Restart MariaDB.
sudo systemctl restart mariadb-server
A webserver is needed in order to point a domain to your instance. Any will suffice as long as they support reverse proxy.
We have a guide for both Apache and Nginx, choose the one you prefer.
Size; ~10MB
Apache will require further configuration to enable reverse proxy support.
Size; ~2MB
Nginx supports reverse proxy out of the box.
Coming soon!
Size; ~2MB
Optional
During the startup process Feedbacky will use your current terminal window and unless you SSH again in your server with a new session, you won't be able to do anything else.
The solution to this is by using a terminal multiplexer, allowing you to run multiple sessions under a single window.
