# Installing on Alpine Linux
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
This guide is a step-by-step installation guide for Alpine Linux. The instructions were verified against Alpine v3.10 standard image. You might miss additional dependencies if you use `netboot` instead.
|
||
|
||
It 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`
|
||
* `git`
|
||
* `file-dev`
|
||
* Development Tools
|
||
* `cmake`
|
||
|
||
#### 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)
|
||
* `ImageMagick`
|
||
* `ffmpeg`
|
||
* `exiftool`
|
||
|
||
### Prepare the system
|
||
|
||
* The community repository must be enabled in `/etc/apk/repositories`. Depending on which version and mirror you use this looks like `http://alpine.42.fr/v3.10/community`. If you autogenerated the mirror during installation:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
awk 'NR==2' /etc/apk/repositories | sed 's/main/community/' | tee -a /etc/apk/repositories
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* 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 cmake file-dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 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 media / graphics packages (optional, see [`docs/installation/optional/media_graphics_packages.md`](../installation/optional/media_graphics_packages.md))
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo apk add ffmpeg imagemagick exiftool
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Install PleromaBE
|
||
|
||
* Add a new system user for the Pleroma service:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo addgroup pleroma
|
||
sudo adduser -S -s /bin/false -h /opt/pleroma -H -G pleroma 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 -b stable 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_ENV=prod 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
|
||
sudo -Hu pleroma 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. You must change change `server_name` and the paths to the certificates. You can use `nano` (install with `apk add nano` if missing).
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
server {
|
||
server_name your.domain;
|
||
listen 80;
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
server {
|
||
server_name your.domain;
|
||
listen 443 ssl http2;
|
||
...
|
||
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/chain.pem;
|
||
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/fullchain.pem;
|
||
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/privkey.pem;
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* 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
|
||
```
