| 01:01 | Astorian | Hi everyone. I'm just learning about Koha now and am considering setting up a private library. As I'm learning about it, I'd like to demo it. Will I be able to with the Live-dvd located here: |
| 01:01 | https://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivedvd/ | |
| 01:01 | Or will I need a hard drive to install it on? | |
| 01:06 | davidnind | Astorian: the LiveDVD is a really old version of Koha (v 19.05), so I wouldn't recommend that approach |
| 01:07 | And they are not supported by the community (see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_LiveCD) | |
| 01:17 | Astorian | @davidnind Thank you. I only want to test out the waters with it but don't want to install it on a hard drive just yet but it looks like I may need to. |
| 01:17 | huginn` | Astorian: I've exhausted my database of quotes |
| 01:17 | davidnind | Depending on your skill levels with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu) and server applications in general: |
| 01:17 | 1. Use one of the demo sites https://koha-community.org/demo/ (NOTE: these are typically reset each day, so any setup and data would be lost) | |
| 01:17 | 2. Use a local virtual environment (such as VirtualBox or VMWare) and install Koha locally using either Debian (https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]i/Koha_on_Debian) or Ubuntu (https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]buntu_-_packages) (instructions need updating for the latest release 21.11) | |
| 01:17 | 3. You could use the Docker environment we use for testing and development - koha-testing-docker (https://gitlab.com/koha-commun[…]a-testing-docker) , but it is not designed for running a library, just development and testing | |
| 01:18 | Astorian | I will look into the virtual environment! Thank you. |
| 01:22 | davidnind | Another alternative which I didn't post is using one of the testing environments you can spin up for testing Koha (provided by Koha support companies) - these can be a bit fiddly, but would probably stay up for a day or so |
| 01:22 | Just trying to find the link.... | |
| 01:29 | Here it is - Sandboxes: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes - Try the PTFS Europe or ByWater Solutions ones (the BibLibre ones don't seem to be working right at the moment, looks like only PTFS Europe ones are available) | |
| 01:41 | Astorian | Thank you for your help david. I'll have more questions for the community as I become familiar with the software. |
| 01:48 | davidnind | Ask here on IRC or the mailing list - depending on the time zone it can be a bit quite, particularly during the weekends.. |
