Initial Setup
Downloading the necessary files for Feedbacky itself, setting up the database and firewall.
1. Create a new directory named "feedbacky" in the
/etc directory and access it.sudo mkdir /etc/feedbacky && cd /etc/feedbacky
2. Run the command below to download the necessary files.
sudo curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/feedbacky-project/app/master/{.env,docker-compose.yml}"
.envis the file containing the Feedbacky variable in which you can configure to your needs.docker-compose.ymlis the instruction file for Docker.
1. Start the SQL shell.
sudo mysql
2. Create a new user for Feedbacky.
As stated previously, we won't be able to create a
localhost user, instead we'll use the % wildcard instead.CREATE USER '{MYSQL_USERNAME}'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '{MYSQL_PASSWORD}';
{MYSQL_USERNAME} | The username of your choice. |
{MYSQL_PASSWORD} | The password of your choice. |
3. Create a new table for Feedbacky.
CREATE DATABASE feedbacky;
4. Grant all privileges to your MySQL user.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON feedbacky.* TO '{MYSQL_USERNAME}'@'%';
5. Flush the privileges.
FLUSH PRIVLEGES;
Flush will reload the privileges without having the need to restart the MariaDB daemon.
6. Exit the SQL shell.
exit
Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) is the default Firewall on Ubuntu 20.04, it is disabled by default.
1. Enable Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW).
sudo ufw enable
2. Forward the Feedbacky server port.
sudo ufw allow 8095/tcp
If you plan on using a different port, make sure that you change the value of the
SERVER_APP_PORT variable when configuring!Make sure that you also create a port forwarding rule in your router settings page. If you are using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) check with your provider.
