- Obtain
accord-serverbinary.
Currently only method is to compile it yourself.
git clone https://github.com/LoipesMas/accord.git
cd accord
cargo b -p accord-server --release
- Set up postgresql database somewhere.
Refer to postgres instructions for how to do that. - Launch
accord-server. It will error something about connecting to the database, but we just need the default config. - Edit the config (probably located in
~/.config/accord-server/config.toml) with correct postgres credentials. - Launch
accord-serveragain, this time it should connect. - Done!
Now clients can connect.
