Q-Link Reloaded
Deployment instructions
These have only really been tested on Ubuntu 14.04, but they should generalize readily to other environments.
Step 1: Install prerequisites
On Ubuntu, you can do this with the command
apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk maven mysql-server nodejs
Elsewhere, you will need:
- A Java development kit
- Maven installed
- MySQL installed and running with default configuration
- node.js installed
Step 2: Configure database
There are two SQL files that will set up the "qlink" database the server needs. The "bootstrap" script will run them both. WARNING! Running this script will delete any previous database and as such will invalidate any QLink disks you were using to connect to it.
Step 3: Build
There's a "package" script that does this, or you can just type
mvn package
Step 4: Run
There's a "run" script, or you can also fire up the executable jar file produced in the "target" directory.
If you want to play with the "wafer-thin" Habitat proxy, you will need to first run
nodejs src/fake_server/wafer.js
Step 5: Connect with QLink!
You're now running Q-Link Reloaded listening on port 5190. You should be able to point your Commodore 64 client at that port and then do your normal Q-Link connection techniques.
