Welcome to our virtual box application with Minds installed and ready to play with!
Thank you all for the high interest in this project, as suggested by a few users we are releasing this as a blog now the appliance is up and running :)
Looking to try out Minds on a local server? We have you all set-up and ready with our VirtualBox application, install script or install guide :)
Just download what you need from and use VirtualBox to install and run Minds!
The Virtualbox application is using Linux Mint as the operating system. To use this application you must have Virtualbox installed on your system.
To install the application on Linux simply open the application with Virtualbox after downloading it.
* This is the most stable package.
Once you have downloaded the Virtualbox application just open it with VirtualBox.
You can also run our Minds Installer to Minds on your current Ubuntu or Mint computer make sure to read the read me.
* Unzip Installer in home folder
* Launch installer
If you wish to install the program yourself on a ubuntu based system or are having issues with our launcher follow this layout in your terminal :)

cd minds

docker-compose up -d nginx
docker-compose up installer
docker-compose up front-build
docker-compose up sync-engine
docker-compose up sync-front
echo " Install Complete, Open http://localhost:8080/login"
firefox http://localhost:8080/login/
Troubleshooting
"Minds is already installed"
- Ensure engine/settings.php does not exist and re-run:
docker-compose up installer
"Cassandra will not boot"
- Ensure thrift is enabled
- Cassandra requires at least 4GB of memory to operate. You can start Cassandra manually by running:
docker-compose up cassandra
Thank you all again for the interest and I hope you have a fun time using and playing around with the program, please remember to try to host the file yourself as well if you can for other with any noted changes to the box :)
