By default, LinkAce requires using MySQL for the regular setup. To use PostgreSQL, please follow the specific instructions below depending on whether you use Docker or not.
Setup with Docker
Follow the steps 1 to 4 of the basic Docker installation guide, but do not start the built-in setup now.
Stop the Docker container now.
docker-compose stop
Replace DB_CONNECTION=mysql with DB_CONNECTION=pgsql and set the correct port of the database in DB_PORT=5432 in your .env file.
Additionally, add SETUP_COMPLETED=true to the .env file as LinkAce does not support Postgres in the built-in setup yet.
After that run the following command to prepare the database:
docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it linkace_app_1 php artisan key:generate
docker exec -it linkace_app_1 php artisan migrate
docker exec -it linkace_app_1 php artisan setup:complete
After that, generate a new admin account by running the following command. You will be asked for a username, email address and a password.
docker exec -it linkace_app_1 php artisan registeruser
You can now open LinkAce in your browser and should be able to use the application.
Setup without Docker
Follow the steps 1 to 4 of the regular installation guide, but do not start the built-in setup now.
Replace DB_CONNECTION=mysql with DB_CONNECTION=pgsql and set the correct port of the database in DB_PORT=5432 in your .env file.
After that run the following command to prepare the database:
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan setup:complete
After that, generate a new admin account by running the following account. You will be asked for a username, email address and a password.
php artisan registeruser
You can now open LinkAce in your browser and should be able to use the application.
