## Scoold Pro



[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/Erudika/scoold](https://badges.gitter.im/Erudika/scoold.svg)](https://gitter.im/Erudika/scoold?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)



**Scoold** is a Q&A platform written in Java. The project was created back in 2008, released in 2012 as social network for

schools inspired by StackOverflow, and as of 2017 it has been refactored, repackaged and open-sourced.

The primary goal of this project is educational but it can also work great as a Q&A/support section for your website.



Scoold can run on Heroku or any other PaaS. It's lightweight (~4000 LOC) - the backend is handled by a separate service called

[Para](https://github.com/Erudika/para). Scoold does not require a database, and the controller logic is really simple

because all the heavy lifting is delegated to Para. This makes the code easy to read and can be learned quickly by junior developers.



**This repository exists mainly for tracking issues and feature requests.**



## [Buy Scoold Pro 499 EUR](https://paraio.com/scoold-pro)

## Documentation



See the [README](https://github.com/Erudika/scoold) in the open source repository.



## Quick start with Docker Compose



**First, you will need to obain access keys for the private Docker registry for Scoold Pro,

by [purchasing a Pro license](https://paraio.com/scoold-pro).**

Once you have the necessary credentials for accessing the private Docker registry, download and install

the [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) tool. Then execute the following commands to authenticate:



- Configure AWS CLI to use the new credentials with `aws configure` or instruct AWS CLI to use an existing credentials

profile, e.g. `export AWS_PROFILE=docker`.

- Authenticate with our ECR registry - a temporary access token will be issued for 12h:

	```

	aws ecr get-login-password --region eu-west-1 | \

		docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 374874639893.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

	```



If the command above doesn't succeed, you won't be able to pull the latest Scoold Pro image or run `docker compose`.



After authenticating with the private registry, there are just a couple of steps before running `docker compose up`:



1. Create a new directory and copy [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) to it from this repository.

2. Create these two configuration files in the same directory (both files can be left blank for now):

```

$ touch para-application.conf scoold-application.conf

```

3. `$ docker compose up`



To stop the containers use Ctrl + C.
