Specialised Servers - LogicalDOC

LogicalDOC is a document Management System...
It seems to be fairly functional & useful. Sadly, the documentation has a few issues.
So...
Here goes a functional set installation instructions.
(NOTE: Due to the complexity of this install, I'll be doing it logged in as root.)
Prerequisites
You'll need a database, Java & a handful of other applications.
For Java, Let's install an up-to date version:
apt install openjdk-17-jdk
We'll use MariaDB since I'm doing this on Debian (using the procedure outlined here):
apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client php-mysqlmysql_secure_installation
And the rest of the stuff they say you'll need:
apt install libreoffice imagemagick ghostscript tesseract-ocr xpdf openssl clamav
Database setup
vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
and add in:
[mysql] default-character-set = utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server = utf8 collation-server = utf8_bin default-storage-engine = INNODB
Then set up the user & the database itself:
mysqladmin -u root
CREATE DATABASE logicaldoc;
CREATE USER logicaldoc;
SET PASSWORD FOR logicaldoc@'%'=PASSWORD('password');
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON logicaldoc.* TO logicaldoc@'%' identified by 'password';
quit
The actual install
Unless you are PAYING for the open-source software, you'll want the CE version. (The following URL will likely change at some point & my require searching again...)
wget https://cytranet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/logicaldoc/distribution/LogicalDOC%20CE%208.7/logicaldoc-community-installer-8.7.3.zipunzip logicaldoc-community-installer-8.7.3.zipjava -jar logicaldoc-installer.jar -console
Pretty much defaults all the way through will get you up & running.
BUT!
When you see: "[ ] Manual specification of the database connection URL"
Choose DESELECT
Post-Install
Their post install instructions don't work as they tell you to copy a file that they failed to provide...
Working on that part...
Usage
Browse to http://YOURSERVERADDRESS:8080
and sign in as admin with the password admin
And follow their documentation to get going.
Uninstallation
Shutdown the service:
/LogicalDOC-Community/bin/logicaldoc.sh stop
Delete the file (which doesn't exist...):
/etc/init.d/logicaldoc
Delete the install directory
rm -r /LogicalDOC-Community
