Linux deployment

Setup

By default catboard uses sqlite3 (./app.db).

If you would like to use a different database, set the CATBOARD_SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI environment variable.

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/dvolk/catboard
cd catboard
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
flask db upgrade

Run directly

python3 app.py

Run with systemd

cp catboard.service ~/.config/systemd/user/catboard.service

Change the paths in the service file to whereever you've downloaded catboard:

vi ~/.config/systemd/user/catboard.service

Start the catboard service:

systemctl daemon-reload --user
systemctl start catboard

Docker deployment

see docker-compose.yml.

The docker deployment uses postgresql.

Works in docker swarm mode too.

Kubernetes deployment

see kubernetes/.

The kubernetes deployment uses mysql 8.
