# General tips for customizing Pleroma FE
|
||||||
|
There are some configuration scripts for Pleroma BE and FE:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. `config/prod.secret.exs`
|
||||||
|
1. `config/config.exs`
|
||||||
|
1. `priv/static/static/config.json`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `prod.secret.exs` affects first. `config.exs` is for fallback or default. `config.json` is for GNU-social-BE-Pleroma-FE instances.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usually all you have to do is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Copy the section in the `config/config.exs` which you want to activate.
|
||||||
|
1. Paste into `config/prod.secret.exs`.
|
||||||
|
1. Edit `config/prod.secret.exs`.
|
||||||
|
1. Restart the Pleroma daemon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`prod.secret.exs` is for the `MIX_ENV=prod` environment. `dev.secret.exs` is for the `MIX_ENV=dev` environment respectively.

# Hardening your instance
|
||||||
|
Here are some suggestions which improve the security of parts of your Pleroma instance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These changes should go into `prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs`, depending on your `MIX_ENV` value.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `http`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `[ip: {127, 0, 0, 1}]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This sets the Pleroma application server to only listen to the localhost interface. This way, you can only reach your server over the Internet by going through the reverse proxy. By default, Pleroma listens on all interfaces.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `secure_cookie_flag`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This sets the `secure` flag on Pleroma’s session cookie. This makes sure, that the cookie is only accepted over encrypted HTTPs connections. This implicitly renames the cookie from `pleroma_key` to `__Host-pleroma-key` which enforces some restrictions. (see [cookie prefixes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie#Cookie_prefixes))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `:http_security`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will send additional HTTP security headers to the clients, including:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `X-XSS-Protection: "1; mode=block"`
|
||||||
|
* `X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: "none"`
|
||||||
|
* `X-Frame-Options: "DENY"`
|
||||||
|
* `X-Content-Type-Options: "nosniff"`
|
||||||
|
* `X-Download-Options: "noopen"`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A content security policy (CSP) will also be set:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```csp
|
||||||
|
content-security-policy:
|
||||||
|
default-src 'none';
|
||||||
|
base-uri 'self';
|
||||||
|
frame-ancestors 'none';
|
||||||
|
img-src 'self' data: https:;
|
||||||
|
media-src 'self' https:;
|
||||||
|
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
|
||||||
|
font-src 'self';
|
||||||
|
script-src 'self';
|
||||||
|
connect-src 'self' wss://example.tld;
|
||||||
|
manifest-src 'self';
|
||||||
|
upgrade-insecure-requests;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `sts`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An additional “Strict transport security” header will be sent with the configured `sts_max_age` parameter. This tells the browser, that the domain should only be accessed over a secure HTTPs connection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `ct_max_age`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An additional “Expect-CT” header will be sent with the configured `ct_max_age` parameter. This enforces the use of TLS certificates that are published in the certificate transparency log. (see [Expect-CT](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Expect-CT))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `referrer_policy`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `same-origin`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you click on a link, your browser’s request to the other site will include from where it is coming from. The “Referrer policy” header tells the browser how and if it should send this information. (see [Referrer policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## systemd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A systemd unit example is provided at `installation/pleroma.service`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### PrivateTmp
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use private `/tmp` and `/var/tmp` folders inside a new file system namespace, which are discarded after the process stops.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ProtectHome
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `/home`, `/root`, and `/run/user` folders can not be accessed by this service anymore. If your Pleroma user has its home folder in one of the restricted places, or use one of these folders as its working directory, you have to set this to `false`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ProtectSystem
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `full`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mount `/usr`, `/boot`, and `/etc` as read-only for processes invoked by this service.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### PrivateDevices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sets up a new `/dev` mount for the process and only adds API pseudo devices like `/dev/null`, `/dev/zero` or `/dev/random` but not physical devices. This may not work on devices like the Raspberry Pi, where you need to set this to `false`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### NoNewPrivileges
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `true`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensures that the service process and all its children can never gain new privileges through `execve()`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### CapabilityBoundingSet
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Recommended value: `~CAP_SYS_ADMIN`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Drops the sysadmin capability from the daemon.

# How to activate mediaproxy
|
||||||
|
## Explanation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Without the `mediaproxy` function, Pleroma don't store any remote content like pictures, video etc. locally. So every time you open Pleroma, the content is loaded from the source server, from where the post is coming. This can result in slowly loading content or/and increased bandwidth usage on the source server.
|
||||||
|
With the `mediaproxy` function you can use the cache ability of nginx, to cache these content, so user can access it faster, cause it's loaded from your server.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Activate it
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Edit your nginx config and add the following location:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
location /proxy {
|
||||||
|
proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
|
||||||
|
proxy_cache_lock on;
|
||||||
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Also add the following on top of the configuration, outside of the `server` block:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
proxy_cache_path /tmp/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If you came here from one of the installation guides, take a look at the example configuration `/installation/pleroma.nginx`, where this part is already included.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Append the following to your `prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs` (depends on which mode your instance is running):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :media_proxy,
|
||||||
|
enabled: true,
|
||||||
|
redirect_on_failure: true
|
||||||
|
#base_url: "https://cache.pleroma.social"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If you want to use a subdomain to serve the files, uncomment `base_url`, change the url and add a comma after `true` in the previous line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Restart nginx and Pleroma

# How to configure upstream proxy for federation
|
||||||
|
If you want to proxify all http requests (e.g. for TOR) that pleroma makes to an upstream proxy server, edit you config file (`dev.secret.exs` or `prod.secret.exs`) and add the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http,
|
||||||
|
proxy_url: "127.0.0.1:8123"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The other way to do it, for example, with Tor you would most likely add something like this:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 9050}

# How to activate user recommendation (Who to follow panel)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To show the *who to follow* panel, edit `config/prod.secret.exs` in the Pleroma backend. Following code activates the *who to follow* panel:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```elixir
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :suggestions,
|
||||||
|

web: "https://vinayaka.distsn.org/?{{host}}+{{user}}"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`config/config.exs` already includes this code, but `enabled:` is `false`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`/api/v1/suggestions` is also provided when *who to follow* panel is enabled.
|

# I2P Federation and Accessability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This guide is going to focus on the Pleroma federation aspect. The actual installation is neatly explained in the official documentation, and more likely to remain up-to-date.
|
||||||
|
It might be added to this guide if there will be a need for that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're going to use I2PD for its lightweightness over the official client.
|
||||||
|
Follow the documentation according to your distro: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/install/#installing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How to run it: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/run/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## I2P Federation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are 2 ways to go about this.
|
||||||
|
One using the config, and one using external software (fedproxy). The external software works better so far.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using the Config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Warning:** So far, everytime I followed this way of federating using I2P, the rest of my federation stopped working. I'm leaving this here in case it will help with making it work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Pleroma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 4447}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
And then run the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
su pleroma
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
exit
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
|
||||||
|
systemctl start i2pd.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using Fedproxy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fedproxy passes through clearnet requests direct to where they are going. It doesn't force anything over Tor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use [fedproxy](https://github.com/majestrate/fedproxy) you'll need to install Golang.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt install golang
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Use a different user than pleroma or root. Run the following to add the Gopath to your ~/.bashrc.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
echo "export GOPATH=/home/ren/.go" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Restart that bash session (you can exit and log back in).
|
||||||
|
Run the following to get fedproxy.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
go get -u github.com/majestrate/fedproxy$
|
||||||
|
cp $(GOPATH)/bin/fedproxy /usr/local/bin/fedproxy
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
And then the following to start it for I2P only.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
fedproxy 127.0.0.1:2000 127.0.0.1:4447
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If you want to also use it for Tor, add `127.0.0.1:9050` to that command.
|
||||||
|
You'll also need to modify your Pleroma config.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Pleroma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 2000}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
And then run the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
su pleroma
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
exit
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
|
||||||
|
systemctl start i2pd.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## I2P Instance Access
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make your instance accessible using I2P.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add the following to your I2PD config `/etc/i2pd/tunnels.conf`:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
[pleroma]
|
||||||
|
type = http
|
||||||
|
host = 127.0.0.1
|
||||||
|
port = 14447
|
||||||
|
keys = pleroma.dat
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Restart I2PD:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
|
||||||
|
systemctl start i2pd.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you'll have to find your address.
|
||||||
|
To do that you can download and use I2PD tools.[^1]
|
||||||
|
Or you'll need to access your web-console on localhost:7070.
|
||||||
|
If you don't have a GUI, you'll have to SSH tunnel into it like this:
|
||||||
|
`ssh -L 7070:127.0.0.1:7070 user@ip -p port`.
|
||||||
|
Now you can access it at localhost:7070.
|
||||||
|
Go to I2P tunnels page. Look for Server tunnels and you will see an address that ends with `.b32.i2p` next to "pleroma".
|
||||||
|
This is your site's address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### I2P-only Instance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If creating an I2P-only instance, open `config/prod.secret.exs` and under "config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint," edit "https" and "port: 443" to the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
url: [host: "i2paddress", scheme: "http", port: 80],
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
In addition to that, replace the existing nginx config's contents with the example below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Existing Instance (Clearnet Instance)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If not an I2P-only instance, add the nginx config below to your existing config at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And for both cases, disable CSP in Pleroma's config (STS is disabled by default) so you can define those yourself seperately from the clearnet (if your instance is also on the clearnet).
|
||||||
|
Copy the following into the `config/prod.secret.exs` in your Pleroma folder (/home/pleroma/pleroma/):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http_security,
|
||||||
|
enabled: false
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use this as the Nginx config:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
proxy_cache_path /tmp/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
|
||||||
|
# The above already exists in a clearnet instance's config.
|
||||||
|
# If not, add it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
server {
|
||||||
|

# Easy Onion Federation (Tor)
|
||||||
|
Tor can free people from the necessity of a domain, in addition to helping protect their privacy. As Pleroma's goal is to empower the people and let as many as possible host an instance with as little resources as possible, the ability to host an instance with a small, cheap computer like a RaspberryPi along with Tor, would be a great way to achieve that.
|
||||||
|
In addition, federating with such instances will also help furthering that goal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a guide to show you how it can be easily done.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This guide assumes you already got Pleroma working, and that it's running on the default port 4000.
|
||||||
|
Currently only has an Nginx example.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To install Tor on Debian / Ubuntu:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt -yq install tor
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If using an old server version (older than Debian Stretch or Ubuntu 18.04), install from backports or PPA.
|
||||||
|
I recommend using a newer server version instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To have the newest, V3 onion addresses (which I recommend) in Debian, install Tor from backports.
|
||||||
|
If you do not have backports, uncomment the stretch-backports links at the end of `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
|
||||||
|
Then install:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt update
|
||||||
|
apt -t stretch-backports -yq install tor
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**WARNING:** Onion instances not using a Tor version supporting V3 addresses will not be able to federate with you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create the hidden service for your Pleroma instance in `/etc/tor/torrc`:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
|
||||||
|
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8099
|
||||||
|
HiddenServiceVersion 3 # Remove if Tor version is below 0.3 ( tor --version )
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Restart Tor to generate an adress:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart tor@default.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Get the address:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cat /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/hostname
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Federation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next, edit your Pleroma config.
|
||||||
|
If running in prod, cd to your Pleroma directory, edit `config/prod.secret.exs`
|
||||||
|
and append this line:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 9050}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
In your Pleroma directory, assuming you're running prod,
|
||||||
|
run the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
su pleroma
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
exit
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
restart Pleroma (if using systemd):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Tor Instance Access
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make your instance accessible using Tor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Tor-only Instance
|
||||||
|
If creating a Tor-only instance, open `config/prod.secret.exs` and under "config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint," edit "https" and "port: 443" to the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
url: [host: "onionaddress", scheme: "http", port: 80],
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
In addition to that, replace the existing nginx config's contents with the example below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Existing Instance (Clearnet Instance)
|
||||||
|
If not a Tor-only instance,
|
||||||
|
add the nginx config below to your existing config at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
For both cases, disable CSP in Pleroma's config (STS is disabled by default) so you can define those yourself seperately from the clearnet (if your instance is also on the clearnet).
|
||||||
|
Copy the following into the `config/prod.secret.exs` in your Pleroma folder (/home/pleroma/pleroma/):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
config :pleroma, :http_security,
|
||||||
|
enabled: false
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use this as the Nginx config:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
proxy_cache_path /tmp/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
|
||||||
|
# The above already exists in a clearnet instance's config.
|

# If not, add it.

```
|
||||||
|
reload Nginx:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl reload nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should now be able to both access your instance using Tor and federate with other Tor instances!

|
|
||||||
|
### Possible Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* In Debian, make sure your hidden service folder `/var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/` and its contents, has debian-tor as both owner and group by using
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ls -la /var/lib/tor/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If it's not, run:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
chown -R debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* Make sure *only* the owner has *only* read and write permissions.
|
||||||
|
If not, run:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
chmod -R 600 /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* If you have trouble logging in to the Mastodon Frontend when using Tor, use the Tor Browser Bundle.

# Small customizations
|
||||||
|
Replace `dev.secret.exs` with `prod.secret.exs` according to your setup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Thumbnail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace `priv/static/instance/thumbnail.jpeg` with your selfie or other neat picture. It will appear in [Pleroma Instances](http://distsn.org/pleroma-instances.html).

|
||||||
|
# Instance-specific panel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

To show the instance specific panel, set `show_instance_panel` to `true` in `config/dev.secret.exs`. You can modify its content by editing `priv/static/instance/panel.html`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Background
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can change the background of your Pleroma instance by uploading it to `priv/static/static`, and then changing `"background"` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Logo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to give a brand to your instance, look no further. You can change the logo of your instance by uploading it to `priv/static/static`, and then changing `logo` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Theme
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All users of your instance will be able to change the theme they use by going to the settings (the cog in the top-right hand corner). However, if you wish to change the default theme, you can do so by editing `theme` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Terms of Service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Terms of Service will be shown to all users on the registration page. It's the best place where to write down the rules for your instance. You can modify the rules by changing `priv/static/static/terms-of-service.html`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Message Visibility
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable message visibility options when posting like in the Mastodon frontend, set

# Installing on Alpine Linux
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This guide is a step-by-step installation guide for Alpine Linux. It also assumes that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/install-alpine-linux-on-your-linode/#configuration). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su -l <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `postgresql`
|
||||||
|
* `elixir`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-parsetools`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-xmerl`
|
||||||
|

|
* `nginx` (preferred, example configs for other reverse proxies can be found in the repo)
|
||||||
|
* `certbot` (or any other ACME client for Let’s Encrypt certificates)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Prepare the system
|
||||||
|

|
* First make sure to have the community repository enabled:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
echo "https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repository
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Then update the system, if not already done:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk update
|
||||||
|
sudo apk upgrade
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install some tools, which are needed later:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add git build-base
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install Elixir and Erlang
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install Erlang and Elixir:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add erlang erlang-runtime-tools erlang-xmerl elixir
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install `erlang-eldap` if you want to enable ldap authenticator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add erlang-eldap
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
### Install PostgreSQL
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install Postgresql server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add postgresql postgresql-contrib
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Initialize database:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enable and start postgresql server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo rc-update add postgresql
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install PleromaBE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Add a new system user for the Pleroma service:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo adduser -S -s /bin/false -h /opt/pleroma -H pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note**: To execute a single command as the Pleroma system user, use `sudo -Hu pleroma command`. You can also switch to a shell by using `sudo -Hu pleroma $SHELL`. If you don’t have and want `sudo` on your system, you can use `su` as root user (UID 0) for a single command by using `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL -c 'command'` and `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL` for starting a shell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Git clone the PleromaBE repository and make the Pleroma user the owner of the directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
sudo chown -R pleroma:pleroma /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Change to the new directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cd /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install the dependencies for Pleroma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu pleroma mix pleroma.instance gen`
|
||||||
|
* Answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `rebar3`.
|
||||||
|
* This may take some time, because parts of pleroma get compiled first.
|
||||||
|
* After that it will ask you a few questions about your instance and generates a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Pleroma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The previous command creates also the file `config/setup_db.psql`, with which you can create the database:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu postgres psql -f config/setup_db.psql
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Now run the database migration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Now you can start Pleroma already
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Finalize installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to open your newly installed instance to the world, you should run nginx or some other webserver/proxy in front of Pleroma and you should consider to create an OpenRC service file for Pleroma.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install nginx, if not already done:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add certbot
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and then set it up:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/
|
||||||
|
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --standalone
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If that doesn’t work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesn’t work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Copy the example nginx configuration to the nginx folder
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/conf.d/pleroma.conf
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Before starting nginx edit the configuration and change it to your needs (e.g. change servername, change cert paths)
|
||||||
|
* Enable and start nginx:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo rc-update add nginx
|
||||||
|
sudo service nginx start
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need to renew the certificate in the future, uncomment the relevant location block in the nginx config and run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### OpenRC service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Copy example service file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/init.d/pleroma /etc/init.d/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Make sure to start it during the boot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo rc-update add pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Create your first user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
|
||||||
|
```

sudo yum install erlang erlang-parsetools erlang-xmerl
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Download [latest Elixir release from Github](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/releases/tag/v1.8.1) (Example for the newest version at the time when this manual was written)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell

```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install PostgreSQL
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Add the Postgresql repository:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos11-11-2.noarch.rpm
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install the Postgresql server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo yum install postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Initialize database:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo /usr/pgsql-11/bin/postgresql-11-setup initdb
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Open configuration file `/var/lib/pgsql/11/data/pg_hba.conf` and change the following lines from:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```plain
|
||||||
|
# IPv4 local connections:
|
||||||
|
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
|
||||||
|
# IPv6 local connections:
|
||||||
|
host all all ::1/128 ident
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```plain
|
||||||
|
# IPv4 local connections:
|
||||||
|
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
|
||||||
|
# IPv6 local connections:
|
||||||
|
host all all ::1/128 md5
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enable and start postgresql server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql-11.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install PleromaBE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Add a new system user for the Pleroma service:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m -d /var/lib/pleroma -U pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note**: To execute a single command as the Pleroma system user, use `sudo -Hu pleroma command`. You can also switch to a shell by using `sudo -Hu pleroma $SHELL`. If you don’t have and want `sudo` on your system, you can use `su` as root user (UID 0) for a single command by using `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL -c 'command'` and `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL` for starting a shell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Git clone the PleromaBE repository and make the Pleroma user the owner of the directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
sudo chown -R pleroma:pleroma /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Change to the new directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cd /opt/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install the dependencies for Pleroma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu pleroma mix pleroma.instance gen`
|
||||||
|
* Answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `rebar3`.
|
||||||
|
* This may take some time, because parts of pleroma get compiled first.
|
||||||
|
* After that it will ask you a few questions about your instance and generates a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Pleroma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The previous command creates also the file `config/setup_db.psql`, with which you can create the database:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu postgres psql -f config/setup_db.psql
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Now run the database migration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Now you can start Pleroma already
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Finalize installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to open your newly installed instance to the world, you should run nginx or some other webserver/proxy in front of Pleroma and you should consider to create a systemd service file for Pleroma.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Install nginx, if not already done:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo yum install nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo yum install certbot-nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and then set it up:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/
|
||||||
|
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --standalone
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If that doesn’t work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesn’t work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Copy the example nginx configuration to the nginx folder
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/conf.d/pleroma.conf
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Before starting nginx edit the configuration and change it to your needs (e.g. change servername, change cert paths)
|
||||||
|
* Enable and start nginx:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need to renew the certificate in the future, uncomment the relevant location block in the nginx config and run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Other webserver/proxies
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can find example configurations for them in `/opt/pleroma/installation/`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Systemd service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Copy example service file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Edit the service file and make sure that all paths fit your installation
|
||||||
|
* Enable and start `pleroma.service`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable --now pleroma.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Create your first user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
|
||||||

|
This guide will assume you are on Debian Stretch. This guide should also work with Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. It also assumes that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-delete-and-grant-sudo-privileges-to-users-on-a-debian-vps). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `postgresql` (9.6+, Ubuntu 16.04 comes with 9.5, you can get a newer version from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/))
|
||||||
|
* `postgresql-contrib` (9.6+, same situtation as above)
|
||||||
|
* `elixir` (1.5+, [install from here, Debian and Ubuntu ship older versions](https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-and-unix-like) or use [asdf](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) as the pleroma user)
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-dev`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-tools`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-parsetools`
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-eldap`, if you want to enable ldap authenticator
|
||||||
|
* `erlang-xmerl`
|
||||||
|
* `git`
|
||||||
|
* `build-essential`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Optional packages used in this guide
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `nginx` (preferred, example configs for other reverse proxies can be found in the repo)
|
||||||
|
* `certbot` (or any other ACME client for Let’s Encrypt certificates)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Prepare the system

|
||||||
|
## インストール
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
このガイドはDebian Stretchを仮定しています。Ubuntu 16.04でも可能です。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 必要なソフトウェア
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- PostgreSQL 9.6+ (postgresql-contrib-9.6 または他のバージョンの PSQL をインストールしてください)
|
||||||
|
- Elixir 1.5 以上 ([Debianのリポジトリからインストールしないこと！！！ ここからインストールすること！](https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-and-unix-like))。または [asdf](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) を pleroma ユーザーでインストール。
|
||||||
|
- erlang-dev
|
||||||
|
- erlang-tools
|
||||||
|
- erlang-parsetools
|
||||||
|
- erlang-xmerl (Jessieではバックポートからインストールすること！)
|
||||||
|
- git
|
||||||
|
- build-essential
|
||||||
|
- openssh
|
||||||
|
- openssl
|
||||||
|
- nginx prefered (Apacheも動くかもしれませんが、誰もテストしていません！)
|
||||||
|
- certbot (または何らかのACME Let's encryptクライアント)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### システムを準備する
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* まずシステムをアップデートしてください。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt update && apt dist-upgrade
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 複数のツールとpostgresqlをインストールします。あとで必要になるので。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt install git build-essential openssl ssh sudo postgresql-9.6 postgresql-contrib-9.6
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
(postgresqlのバージョンは、あなたのディストロにあわせて変えてください。または、バージョン番号がいらないかもしれません。)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ElixirとErlangをインストールします
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Erlangのリポジトリをダウンロードおよびインストールします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
wget -P /tmp/ https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i /tmp/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* ElixirとErlangをインストールします、
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt update && apt install elixir erlang-dev erlang-parsetools erlang-xmerl erlang-tools
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Pleroma BE (バックエンド) をインストールします
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 新しいユーザーを作ります。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
adduser pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
(Give it any password you want, make it STRONG)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 新しいユーザーをsudoグループに入れます。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
usermod -aG sudo pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 新しいユーザーに変身し、ホームディレクトリに移動します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
su pleroma
|
||||||
|
cd ~
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Gitリポジトリをクローンします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 新しいディレクトリに移動します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd pleroma/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Pleromaが依存するパッケージをインストールします。Hexをインストールしてもよいか聞かれたら、yesを入力してください。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* コンフィギュレーションを生成します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mix pleroma.instance gen
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* rebar3をインストールしてもよいか聞かれたら、yesを入力してください。
|
||||||
|
* この処理には時間がかかります。私もよく分かりませんが、何らかのコンパイルが行われているようです。
|
||||||
|
* あなたのインスタンスについて、いくつかの質問があります。その回答は `config/generated_config.exs` というコンフィギュレーションファイルに保存されます。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**注意**: メディアプロクシを有効にすると回答して、なおかつ、キャッシュのURLは空欄のままにしている場合は、`generated_config.exs` を編集して、`base_url` で始まる行をコメントアウトまたは削除してください。そして、上にある行の `true` の後にあるコンマを消してください。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* コンフィギュレーションを確認して、もし問題なければ、ファイル名を変更してください。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* これまでのコマンドで、すでに `config/setup_db.psql` というファイルが作られています。このファイルをもとに、データベースを作成します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo su postgres -c 'psql -f config/setup_db.psql'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* そして、データベースのミグレーションを実行します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Pleromaを起動できるようになりました。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### インストールを終わらせる
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
あなたの新しいインスタンスを世界に向けて公開するには、nginxまたは何らかのウェブサーバー (プロクシ) を使用する必要があります。また、Pleroma のためにシステムサービスファイルを作成する必要があります。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* まだインストールしていないなら、nginxをインストールします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt install nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* SSLをセットアップします。他の方法でもよいですが、ここではcertbotを説明します。
|
||||||
|
certbotを使うならば、まずそれをインストールします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
apt install certbot
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
そしてセットアップします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/.well-known
|
||||||
|
% certbot certonly --email your@emailaddress --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ -d yourdomain
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
もしうまくいかないときは、先にnginxを設定してください。ssl "on" を "off" に変えてから再試行してください。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* nginxコンフィギュレーションの例をnginxフォルダーにコピーします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* nginxを起動する前に、コンフィギュレーションを編集してください。例えば、サーバー名、証明書のパスなどを変更する必要があります。
|
||||||
|
* nginxを再起動します。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl reload nginx.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Systemd サービス
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* サービスファイルの例をコピーします。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/pleroma.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* サービスファイルを変更します。すべてのパスが正しいことを確認してください。また、`[Service]` セクションに以下の行があることを確認してください。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Environment="MIX_ENV=prod"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `pleroma.service` を enable および start してください。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl enable --now pleroma.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### モデレーターを作る
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
新たにユーザーを作ったら、モデレーター権限を与えたいかもしれません。以下のタスクで可能です。
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mix set_moderator username [true|false]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
モデレーターはすべてのポストを消すことができます。将来的には他のことも可能になるかもしれません。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### メディアプロクシを有効にする
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`generate_config` でメディアプロクシを有効にしているなら、すでにメディアプロクシが動作しています。あとから設定を変更したいなら、[How to activate mediaproxy](How-to-activate-mediaproxy) を見てください。
|
||||||

# Installing on NetBSD
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Required software
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pkgin should have been installed by the NetBSD installer if you selected
|
||||||
|
the right options. If it isn't installed, install it using pkg_add.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that `postgresql11-contrib` is needed for the Postgres extensions
|
||||||
|
Pleroma uses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `mksh` shell is needed to run the Elixir `mix` script.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# pkgin install acmesh elixir git-base git-docs mksh nginx postgresql11-server postgresql11-client postgresql11-contrib sudo`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also build these packages using pkgsrc:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
databases/postgresql11-contrib
|
||||||
|
databases/postgresql11-client
|
||||||
|
databases/postgresql11-server
|
||||||
|
devel/git-base
|
||||||
|
devel/git-docs
|
||||||
|
lang/elixir
|
||||||
|
security/acmesh
|
||||||
|
security/sudo
|
||||||
|
shells/mksh
|
||||||
|
www/nginx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy the rc.d scripts to the right directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/nginx /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/pgsql /etc/rc.d
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add nginx and Postgres to `/etc/rc.conf`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
nginx=YES
|
||||||
|
pgsql=YES
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuring postgres
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, run `# /etc/rc.d/pgsql start`. Then, `$ sudo -Hu pgsql -g pgsql createdb`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuring Pleroma
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create a user for Pleroma:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# groupadd pleroma
|
||||||
|
# useradd -d /home/pleroma -m -g pleroma -s /usr/pkg/bin/mksh pleroma
|
||||||
|
# echo 'export LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8"' >> /home/pleroma/.profile
|
||||||
|
# su -l pleroma -c $SHELL
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clone the repository:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ cd /home/pleroma
|
||||||
|
$ git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma.git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configure Pleroma. Note that you need a domain name at this point:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ cd /home/pleroma/pleroma
|
||||||
|
$ mix deps.get
|
||||||
|
$ mix pleroma.instance gen # You will be asked a few questions here.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since Postgres is configured, we can now initialize the database. There should
|
||||||
|
now be a file in `config/setup_db.psql` that makes this easier. Edit it, and
|
||||||
|
*change the password* to a password of your choice. Make sure it is secure, since
|
||||||
|
it'll be protecting your database. Now initialize the database:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ sudo -Hu pgsql -g pgsql psql -f config/setup_db.psql
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Postgres allows connections from all users without a password by default. To
|
||||||
|
fix this, edit `/usr/pkg/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf`. Change every `trust` to
|
||||||
|
`password`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once this is done, restart Postgres with `# /etc/rc.d/pgsql restart`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run the database migrations.
|
||||||
|
You will need to do this whenever you update with `git pull`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuring nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install the example configuration file
|
||||||
|
`/home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx` to
|
||||||
|
`/usr/pkg/etc/nginx.conf`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it will need to be wrapped in a `http {}` block. You should add
|
||||||
|
settings for the nginx daemon outside of the http block, for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
user nginx nginx;
|
||||||
|
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
|
||||||
|
worker_processes 4;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
events {
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit the defaults:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Change `ssl_certificate` and `ssl_trusted_certificate` to
|
||||||
|
`/etc/nginx/tls/fullchain`.
|
||||||
|
* Change `ssl_certificate_key` to `/etc/nginx/tls/key`.
|
||||||
|
* Change `example.tld` to your instance's domain name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuring acme.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We'll be using acme.sh in Stateless Mode for TLS certificate renewal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, get your account fingerprint:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx acme.sh --register-account
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need to add the following to your nginx configuration for the server
|
||||||
|
running on port 80:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
location ~ ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ {
|
||||||
|
default_type text/plain;
|
||||||
|
return 200 "$1.6fXAG9VyG0IahirPEU2ZerUtItW2DHzDzD9wZaEKpqd";
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace the string after after `$1.` with your fingerprint.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start nginx:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# /etc/rc.d/nginx start
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It should now be possible to issue a cert (replace `example.com`
|
||||||
|
with your domain name):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx acme.sh --issue -d example.com --stateless
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's add auto-renewal to `/etc/daily.local`
|
||||||
|
(replace `example.com` with your domain):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
/usr/pkg/bin/sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx \
|
||||||
|
/usr/pkg/sbin/acme.sh -r \
|
||||||
|
-d example.com \
|
||||||
|
--cert-file /etc/nginx/tls/cert \
|
||||||
|
--key-file /etc/nginx/tls/key \
|
||||||
|
--ca-file /etc/nginx/tls/ca \
|
||||||
|
--fullchain-file /etc/nginx/tls/fullchain \
|
||||||
|
--stateless
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Creating a startup script for Pleroma
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy the startup script to the correct location and make sure it's executable:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/netbsd/rc.d/pleroma /etc/rc.d/pleroma
|
||||||
|
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/pleroma
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add the following to `/etc/rc.conf`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pleroma=YES
|
||||||
|
pleroma_home="/home/pleroma"
|
||||||
|
pleroma_user="pleroma"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run `# /etc/rc.d/pleroma start` to start Pleroma.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Restart nginx with `# /etc/rc.d/nginx restart` and you should be up and running.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need further help, contact niaa on freenode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure your time is in sync, or other instances will receive your posts with
|
||||||
|
incorrect timestamps. You should have ntpd running.

# Installing on OpenBSD
|
||||||
|
This guide describes the installation and configuration of pleroma (and the required software to run it) on a single OpenBSD 6.4 server.
|
||||||
|
For any additional information regarding commands and configuration files mentioned here, check the man pages [online](https://man.openbsd.org/) or directly on your server with the man command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Required software
|
||||||
|
The following packages need to be installed:
|
||||||
|
* elixir
|
||||||
|
* gmake
|
||||||
|
* ImageMagick
|
||||||
|
* git
|
||||||
|
* postgresql-server
|
||||||
|
* postgresql-contrib
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To install them, run the following command (with doas or as root):
|
||||||
|
`pkg_add elixir gmake ImageMagick git postgresql-server postgresql-contrib`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pleroma requires a reverse proxy, OpenBSD has relayd in base (and is used in this guide) and packages/ports are available for nginx (www/nginx) and apache (www/apache-httpd). Independently of the reverse proxy, [acme-client(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client) can be used to get a certificate from Let's Encrypt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Creating the pleroma user
|
||||||
|
Pleroma will be run by a dedicated user, \_pleroma. Before creating it, insert the following lines in login.conf:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pleroma:\
|
||||||
|
:datasize-max=1536M:\
|
||||||
|
:datasize-cur=1536M:\
|
||||||
|
:openfiles-max=4096
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
This creates a "pleroma" login class and sets higher values than default for datasize and openfiles (see [login.conf(5)](https://man.openbsd.org/login.conf)), this is required to avoid having pleroma crash some time after starting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create the \_pleroma user, assign it the pleroma login class and create its home directory (/home/\_pleroma/): `useradd -m -L pleroma _pleroma`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Clone pleroma's directory
|
||||||
|
Enter a shell as the \_pleroma user. As root, run `su _pleroma -;cd`. Then clone the repository with `git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma.git`. Pleroma is now installed in /home/\_pleroma/pleroma/, it will be configured and started at the end of this guide.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Postgresql
|
||||||
|
Start a shell as the \_postgresql user (as root run `su _postgresql -` then run the `initdb` command to initialize postgresql:
|
||||||
|
If you wish to not use the default location for postgresql's data (/var/postgresql/data), add the following switch at the end of the command: `-D <path>` and modify the `datadir` variable in the /etc/rc.d/postgresql script.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When this is done, enable postgresql so that it starts on boot and start it. As root, run:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
rcctl enable postgresql
|
||||||
|
rcctl start postgresql
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
To check that it started properly and didn't fail right after starting, you can run `ps aux | grep postgres`, there should be multiple lines of output.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### httpd
|
||||||
|
httpd will have three fuctions:
|
||||||
|
* redirect requests trying to reach the instance over http to the https URL
|
||||||
|
* serve a robots.txt file
|
||||||
|
* get Let's Encrypt certificates, with acme-client
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Insert the following config in httpd.conf:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# $OpenBSD: httpd.conf,v 1.17 2017/04/16 08:50:49 ajacoutot Exp $

|
||||||
|

|
||||||

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
listen on $ext_inet port 80 # Comment to disable listening on IPv4
|
||||||
|
listen on $ext_inet6 port 80 # Comment to disable listening on IPv6
|
||||||
|
listen on 127.0.0.1 port 80 # Do NOT comment this line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|

|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
request strip 2
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
location "/robots.txt" { root "/htdocs/local/" }
|
||||||
|
location "/*" { block return 302 "https://$HTTP_HOST$REQUEST_URI" }
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
types {
|
||||||
|
include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Do not forget to change *\<IPv4/6 address\>* to your server's address(es). If httpd should only listen on one protocol family, comment one of the two first *listen* options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create the /var/www/htdocs/local/ folder and write the content of your robots.txt in /var/www/htdocs/local/robots.txt.
|
||||||
|
Check the configuration with `httpd -n`, if it is OK enable and start httpd (as root):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
rcctl enable httpd
|
||||||
|
rcctl start httpd
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### acme-client
|
||||||
|
acme-client is used to get SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt.
|
||||||
|
Insert the following configuration in /etc/acme-client.conf:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# $OpenBSD: acme-client.conf,v 1.4 2017/03/22 11:14:14 benno Exp $
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
authority letsencrypt-<domain name> {
|
||||||
|
#agreement url "https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf"
|
||||||
|
api url "https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
|
||||||
|
account key "/etc/acme/letsencrypt-privkey-<domain name>.pem"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
domain <domain name> {
|
||||||
|
domain key "/etc/ssl/private/<domain name>.key"
|
||||||
|
domain certificate "/etc/ssl/<domain name>.crt"
|
||||||
|
domain full chain certificate "/etc/ssl/<domain name>.fullchain.pem"
|
||||||
|
sign with letsencrypt-<domain name>
|
||||||
|
challengedir "/var/www/acme/"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Replace *\<domain name\>* by the domain name you'll use for your instance. As root, run `acme-client -n` to check the config, then `acme-client -ADv <domain name>` to create account and domain keys, and request a certificate for the first time.
|
||||||
|
Make acme-client run everyday by adding it in /etc/daily.local. As root, run the following command: `echo "acme-client <domain name>" >> /etc/daily.local`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Relayd will look for certificates and keys based on the address it listens on (see next part), the easiest way to make them available to relayd is to create a link, as root run:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ln -s /etc/ssl/<domain name>.fullchain.pem /etc/ssl/<IP address>.crt
|
||||||
|
ln -s /etc/ssl/private/<domain name>.key /etc/ssl/private/<IP address>.key
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
This will have to be done for each IPv4 and IPv6 address relayd listens on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### relayd
|
||||||
|
relayd will be used as the reverse proxy sitting in front of pleroma.
|
||||||
|
Insert the following configuration in /etc/relayd.conf:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Again, change *\<IPv4/6 address\>* to your server's address(es) and comment one of the two *listen* options if needed. Also change *wss://CHANGEME.tld* to *wss://\<your instance's domain name\>*.
|
||||||
|
Check the configuration with `relayd -n`, if it is OK enable and start relayd (as root):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
rcctl enable relayd
|
||||||
|
rcctl start relayd
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### pf
|
||||||
|
Enabling and configuring pf is highly recommended.
|
||||||
|
In /etc/pf.conf, insert the following configuration:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# Macros
|
||||||
|
if="<network interface>"
|
||||||
|
authorized_ssh_clients="any"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Skip traffic on loopback interface
|
||||||
|
set skip on lo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Default behavior
|
||||||
|
set block-policy drop
|
||||||
|
block in log all
|
||||||
|
pass out quick
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Security features
|
||||||
|
match in all scrub (no-df random-id)
|
||||||
|
block in log from urpf-failed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Rules
|
||||||
|
pass in quick on $if inet proto icmp to ($if) icmp-type { echoreq unreach paramprob trace } # ICMP
|
||||||
|
pass in quick on $if inet6 proto icmp6 to ($if) icmp6-type { echoreq unreach paramprob timex toobig } # ICMPv6
|
||||||
|
pass in quick on $if proto tcp to ($if) port { http https } # relayd/httpd
|
||||||
|
pass in quick on $if proto tcp from $authorized_ssh_clients to ($if) port ssh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Replace *\<network interface\>* by your server's network interface name (which you can get with ifconfig). Consider replacing the content of the authorized\_ssh\_clients macro by, for exemple, your home IP address, to avoid SSH connection attempts from bots.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check pf's configuration by running `pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf`, load it with `pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf` and enable pf at boot with `rcctl enable pf`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Configure and start pleroma
|
||||||
|
Enter a shell as \_pleroma (as root `su _pleroma -`) and enter pleroma's installation directory (`cd ~/pleroma/`).
|
||||||
|
Then follow the main installation guide:
|
||||||
|
* run `mix deps.get`
|
||||||
|
* run `mix pleroma.instance gen` and enter your instance's information when asked
|
||||||
|
* copy config/generated\_config.exs to config/prod.secret.exs. The default values should be sufficient but you should edit it and check that everything seems OK.
|
||||||
|
* exit your current shell back to a root one and run `psql -U postgres -f /home/_pleroma/config/setup_db.psql` to setup the database.
|
||||||
|
* return to a \_pleroma shell into pleroma's installation directory (`su _pleroma -;cd ~/pleroma`) and run `MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As \_pleroma in /home/\_pleroma/pleroma, you can now run `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server` to start your instance.
|
||||||
|
In another SSH session/tmux window, check that it is working properly by running `ftp -MVo - http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/v1/instance`, you should get json output. Double-check that *uri*'s value is your instance's domain name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### Starting pleroma at boot
|
||||||
|
An rc script to automatically start pleroma at boot hasn't been written yet, it can be run in a tmux session (tmux is in base).

||||||
|
Tarvitset:

|
* Oman domainin
|

|
* OpenBSD 6.3 -serverin
|
||||||
|
* Auttavan ymmärryksen unix-järjestelmistä
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Komennot, joiden edessä on '#', tulee ajaa käyttäjänä `root`. Tämä on
|
||||||
|
suositeltavaa tehdä komennon `doas` avulla, katso `doas (1)` ja `doas.conf (5)`.
|
||||||
|
Tästä eteenpäin oletuksena on, että domain "esimerkki.com" osoittaa
|

|
||||||
|
Jos asennuksen kanssa on ongelmia, IRC-kanava #pleroma Freenodessa tai

|
(englanniksi), `/msg eal kukkuu` jos haluat välttämättä puhua härmää.
|
||||||
|
|

|
Asenna tarvittava ohjelmisto:
|

|
|
||||||
|
`# pkg_add git elixir gmake postgresql-server-10.3 postgresql-contrib-10.3`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Luo postgresql-tietokanta:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# su - _postgresql`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ mkdir /var/postgresql/data`
|

|
||||||
|
`$ initdb -D /var/postgresql/data -E UTF8`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ createdb`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Käynnistä tietokanta ja aseta se käynnistymään automaattisesti.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# rcctl start postgresql`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# rcctl enable postgresql`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Luo käyttäjä pleromaa varten (kysyy muutaman kysymyksen):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# adduser pleroma`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Vaihda pleroma-käyttäjään ja mene kotihakemistoosi:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# su - pleroma`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lataa pleroman lähdekoodi:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma.git`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ cd pleroma`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Asenna tarvittavat elixir-kirjastot:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ mix deps.get`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ mix deps.compile`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Luo tarvittava konfiguraatio:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ mix generate_config`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ cp config/generated_config.exs config/prod.secret.exs`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Aja luodut tietokantakomennot:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`# su _postgres -c 'psql -f config/setup_db.psql'`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Käynnistä pleroma-prosessi:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix compile`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tässä vaiheessa on hyvä tarkistaa että asetukset ovat oikein. Avaa selaimella,
|
||||||
|
curlilla tai vastaavalla työkalulla `esimerkki.com:4000/api/v1/instance` ja katso
|
||||||
|
että kohta "uri" on "https://esimerkki.com".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Huom! Muista varmistaa että muuttuja MIX_ENV on "prod" mix-komentoja ajaessasi.
|
||||||
|
Mix lukee oikean konfiguraatiotiedoston sen mukaisesti.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ohessa enimmäkseen toimivaksi todettu rc.d-skripti pleroman käynnistämiseen.
|
||||||
|
Kirjoita se tiedostoon /etc/rc.d/pleroma. Tämän jälkeen aja

# Introduction to Pleroma
|
||||||
|
**What is Pleroma?**
|
||||||
|
Pleroma is a federated social networking platform, compatible with GNU social, Mastodon and other OStatus and ActivityPub implementations. It is free software licensed under the AGPLv3.
|
||||||
|
It actually consists of two components: a backend, named simply Pleroma, and a user-facing frontend, named Pleroma-FE. It also includes the Mastodon frontend, if that's your thing.
|
||||||
|
It's part of what we call the fediverse, a federated network of instances which speak common protocols and can communicate with each other.
|
||||||
|
One account on a instance is enough to talk to the entire fediverse!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**How can I use it?**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pleroma instances are already widely deployed, a list can be found here:
|
||||||
|
http://distsn.org/pleroma-instances.html
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't feel like joining an existing instance, but instead prefer to deploy your own instance, that's easy too!
|
||||||
|
Installation instructions can be found here:
|
||||||
|
[main Pleroma wiki](/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**I got an account, now what?**
|
||||||
|
Great! Now you can explore the fediverse!
|
||||||
|
- Open the login page for your Pleroma instance (for ex. https://pleroma.soykaf.com) and login with your username and password.
|
||||||
|
(If you don't have one yet, click on Register) :slightly_smiling_face:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At this point you will have two columns in front of you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
***left column***
|
||||||
|
- first block: here you can see your avatar, your nickname a bio, and statistics (Statuses, Following, Followers).
|
||||||
|
Under that you have a text form which allows you to post new statuses. The icon on the left is for uploading media files and attach them to your post. The number under the text form is a character counter, every instance can have a different character limit (the default is 5000).
|
||||||
|
If you want to mention someone, type @ + name of the person. A drop-down menu will help you in finding the right person. :slight_smile:
|
||||||
|
To post your status, simply press Submit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- second block: Here you can switch between the different timelines:

- Timeline: all the people that you follow
|
||||||
|
- Mentions: all the statutes where you are mentioned
|
||||||
|
- Public Timeline: all the statutes from the local instance
|
||||||
|
- The Whole Known Network: everything, local and remote!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- third block: this is the Chat block, where you communicate with people on the same instance in realtime. It is local-only, for now, but we're planning to make it extendable to the entire fediverse! :sweat_smile:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- fourth block: This is the Notifications block, here you will get notified whenever somebody mentions you, follows you, repeats or favorites one of your statuses.

This is where the interesting stuff happens! :slight_smile:
|
||||||
|
Depending on the timeline you will see different statuses, but each status has a standard structure:
|
||||||
|
- Icon + name + link to profile. An optional left-arrow if it's a reply to another status (hovering will reveal the replied-to status).
|
||||||
|
- A + button on the right allows you to Expand/Collapse an entire discussion thread. It also updates in realtime!
|
||||||
|
- A binocular icon allows you to open the status on the instance where it's originating from.
|
||||||
|
- The text of the status, including mentions. If you click on a mention, it will automatically open the profile page of that person.
|
||||||
|
- Four buttons (left to right): Reply, Repeat, Favorite, Delete.

||||||

**Mastodon interface**
|
||||||
|
If the Pleroma interface isn't your thing, or you're just trying something new but you want to keep using the familiar Mastodon interface, we got that too! :smile:
|
||||||
|
Just add a "/web" after your instance url (for ex. https://pleroma.soycaf.com/web) and you'll end on the Mastodon web interface, but with a Pleroma backend! MAGIC! :fireworks:
|
||||||
|
For more information on the Mastodon interface, please look here:
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/User-guide.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Remember, what you see is only the frontend part of Mastodon, the backend is still Pleroma.
