Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Commands starting with # are to be is to run as root.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the sources
|
||||
Get the source code by running
|
||||
$ git clone https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat
|
||||
You can also download the latest source tarball from the URL
|
||||
"https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/snapshot/bloat-master.tar.gz"
|
||||
|
||||
2. Build and install
|
||||
Install GO from your system's package manager or from https://golang.org/dl,
|
||||
then run make to compile the source.
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
# make install
|
||||
This will perform a system wide installation of bloat. By default, it will
|
||||
install the binary in /usr/local/bin, data files in /var/bloat and config
|
||||
file in /etc. You can change these paths by editing the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Edit the config file
|
||||
Comments in the config file describe what each config value does. For most
|
||||
cases, you only need to change the value of "client_website".
|
||||
# $EDITOR /etc/bloat.conf
|
||||
|
||||
4. Create a separate user account to run bloat
|
||||
It's not required to create a separate user account, but it's a good practice
|
||||
to do so.
|
||||
# useradd _bloat
|
||||
# chown -R _bloat:_bloat /var/bloat
|
||||
Replace /var/bloat with the value you specified in the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Run the binary
|
||||
# su _bloat -c bloat
|
||||
Now you should create an init script to automatically start the service at
|
||||
system startup.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Setup TLS
|
||||
You can use an HTTP server as a reverse proxy to serve bloat over HTTPS. Here's
|
||||
a config file snippet for nginx:
|
||||
`
|
||||
server {
|
||||
server_name bloat.example.com;
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
server {
|
||||
server_name bloat.example.com;
|
||||
listen 443 ssl;
|
||||
|
||||
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/ssl/example.com.crt;
|
||||
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/example.com.fullchain.pem;
|
||||
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/example.com.key;
|
||||
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
`
|
||||
This configuration accepts for connections for bloat.example.com (specified by
|
||||
"client_website" in config) over both HTTP and HTTPS and forwards them to
|
||||
bloat's listen address (specified by "listen_address" in config).

You can now access the frontend at http://localhost:8080, which is the default
|

listen address. You can also setup a reverse HTTP proxy to serve the frontend over
|

TLS connection.

listen address. See the INSTALL file for more details.
