Run Oxla on Google Cloud Storage

Over the following steps, we’ll set you up with an Oxla server using the Google Cloud Storage.

Prerequisite

⚠️ Install Docker. Please refer to this page for further details. ⚠️ We recommend you use a Linux OS computer to deploy an Oxla server. ⚠️ Install PostgresSQL-client-14 for psql connection. Please refer to this page.

Installation Steps

1. Open your terminal and execute this command to check if you have installed your docker properly:

docker ps

If it returns “Bad response from Docker engine”, this means there is an issue with your docker engine. Try re-install your docker.

2. Execute the following command to create a file that contains docker compose file:

vim one_node.yml

3. Input the following code into the docker compose file:

version: '3.5'
volumes:
  oxla_data:
services:
  oxla_node:
    image: public.ecr.aws/oxla/release:latest
    security_opt:
      - seccomp:unconfined
    ulimits:
      nofile:
        soft: 40000
        hard: 40000
    volumes:
      - oxla_data:/data
    ports:
      - 5432:5432
    environment:
      - GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS?err}

4. Execute the following command to create and start the docker container:

docker compose -f one_node.yml up

5. Execute the following command to run Oxla:

psql -h localhost

If you encounter an error response “bash: psql: command not found“, this means that you have not installed PostgreSQL.

6. When you get the following result, you are now in the Oxla server✅

psql (14.4, server Oxla 1.0)
