# Install
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Docker"
|
|
|
|
Docker production installation is not yet supported. See [issue #352](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/issues/352).
|
|
|
|
## Pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
* A Linux machine with **root access**
|
|
* A **domain name** (or subdomain) for the Mobilizon server, e.g. `example.net`
|
|
* An **SMTP server** to deliver emails
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Mobilizon requires Elixir, NodeJS and PostgreSQL among other things.
|
|
|
|
Installing dependencies depends on the system you're using. Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
We're going to use a dedicated `mobilizon` user with `/home/mobilizon` home:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo adduser --disabled-login mobilizon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
|
|
On FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
sudo pw useradd -n mobilizon -d /home/mobilizon -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m
|
|
sudo passwd mobilizon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then let's connect as this user:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -i -u mobilizon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's start by cloning the repository in a directory named `live`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon live && cd live
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install Elixir dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mix deps.get
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then compile these dependencies and Mobilizon (this can take a few minutes)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mix compile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go into the `js/` directory
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and install the Javascript dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, we can build the front-end (this can take a few seconds)
|
|
```bash
|
|
NODE_ENV=production yarn run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's go back to the main directory
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ../
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Mobilizon provides a command line tool to generate configuration
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mix mobilizon.instance gen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ask you questions about your setup and your instance to generate a `prod.secret.exs` file in the `config/` folder, and a `setup_db.psql` file to setup the database.
|
|
|
|
### Database setup
|
|
|
|
The `setup_db.psql` file contains SQL instructions to create a PostgreSQL user and database with the chosen credentials and add the required extensions to the Mobilizon database.
|
|
|
|
Execute
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u postgres psql -f setup_db.psql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
|
|
When it's done, don't forget to remove the `setup_db.psql` file.
|
|
|
|
### Database Migration
|
|
|
|
Run database migrations:
|
|
```bash
|
|
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
|
|
Note the `MIX_ENV=prod` environment variable prefix in front of the command. You will have to use it for each `mix` command from now on.
|
|
|
|
You will have to do this again after most updates.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
If some migrations fail, it probably means you're not using a recent enough version of PostgreSQL, or that you haven't installed the required extensions.
|
|
|
|
## Services
|
|
|
|
### Systemd
|
|
|
|
Copy the `support/systemd/mobilizon.service` to `/etc/systemd/system`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cp support/systemd/mobilizon.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reload Systemd to detect your new file
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And enable the service
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemctl enable --now mobilizon.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will run Mobilizon and enable startup on boot. You can follow the logs with
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo journalctl -fu mobilizon.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Mobilizon server runs on port 4000 on the local interface only, so you need to add a reverse-proxy.
|
|
|
|
## Reverse proxy
|
|
|
|
### Nginx
|
|
|
|
Copy the file from `support/nginx/mobilizon.conf` to `/etc/nginx/sites-available`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cp support/nginx/mobilizon.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then symlink the file into the `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled` directory.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mobilizon.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit the file `/etc/nginx/sites-available` and adapt it to your own configuration.
|
|
|
|
Test the configuration with `sudo nginx -t` and reload nginx with `systemctl reload nginx`.
|
|
|
|
## Optional tasks
|
|
|
|
### Geolocation databases
|
|
|
|
Mobilizon can use geolocation from MMDB format data from sources like [MaxMind GeoIP](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/) databases or [db-ip.com](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-city-lite) databases. This allows showing events happening near the user's location.
|
|
|
|
You will need to download the City database and put it into `priv/data/GeoLite2-City.mmdb`.
|
|
|
|
Mobilizon will only show a warning at startup if the database is missing, but it isn't required. |
