.
Install PostgreSQL and create the database.
Create configuration file by copying contrib/mitra_config.yaml
and configure the instance. Default config file path is /etc/mitra/config.yaml
, but it can be changed using CONFIG_PATH
environment variable.
Start Mitra:
./mitra
An HTTP server will be needed to handle HTTPS requests and serve the frontend. See the example of nginx configuration file.
