QuantumLink RELOADED!

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.
