# Discourse Install Guide on Ubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Ubuntu 12.04 with the package groups:
|
||||
|
||||
* Basic ubuntu server
|
||||
* OpenSSH server
|
||||
* Mail server
|
||||
* PostgreSQL database (9.1+)
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure the mail server:
|
||||
|
||||
In our example setup, we're going to configure as a 'Satellite system', forwarding all mail to our egress servers for delivery. You'll probably want to do that unless you're handling mail on the same machine as the Discourse software.
|
||||
|
||||
Install necessary packages:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev git libtool libxslt-dev libxml2-dev redis-server libpq-dev gawk curl pngcrush
|
||||
|
||||
## Install nginx
|
||||
|
||||
At Discourse, we recommend the latest version of nginx. To install on Ubuntu:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
# Remove any existing versions of nginx
|
||||
sudo apt-get remove '^nginx.*$'
|
||||
|
||||
# Add nginx repo to sources.list
|
||||
cat <<'EOF' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||||
|
||||
deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
|
||||
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
|
||||
# Add nginx key
|
||||
curl http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -
|
||||
|
||||
# install nginx
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install nginx
|
||||
|
||||
## Install rvm and ruby environment
|
||||
|
||||
### Systemwide installation
|
||||
|
||||
Taken from http://rvm.io/, the commands below installs RVM and users in the 'rvm' group have access to modify state:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
\curl -s -S -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
|
||||
sudo adduser $USER rvm
|
||||
newgrp rvm
|
||||
. /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
|
||||
rvm requirements
|
||||
|
||||
# Build and install ruby
|
||||
rvm install 2.0.0
|
||||
gem install bundler
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Discourse setup
|
||||
|
||||
Create discourse user:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
sudo adduser --shell /bin/bash discourse
|
||||
sudo adduser discourse rvm
|
||||
|
||||
Give postgres DB rights to the `discourse` user:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
sudo -u postgres createuser -s discourse
|
||||
sudo -u postgres psql -c "alter user discourse password 'todayisagooddaytovi';"
|
||||
|
||||
Change to the 'discourse' user:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run this command as your normal login (e.g. "michael"), further commands should be run as 'discourse'
|
||||
sudo su - discourse
|
||||
|
||||
# Pull down the latest release
|
||||
git clone git://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
|
||||
git checkout latest-release
|
||||
|
||||
# Install necessary gems
|
||||
cd discourse
|
||||
bundle install --deployment
|
||||
|
||||
_If you have errors building the native extensions, ensure you have sufficient free system memory. 1GB with no swap won't cut it._
|
||||
|
||||
Configure discourse:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as the discourse user
|
||||
cd ~/discourse/config
|
||||
for i in {database,redis}.yml discourse.pill; do cp $i.sample $i; done
|
||||
cp environments/production.sample.rb environments/production.rb
|
||||
|
||||
Edit discourse/config/database.yml
|
||||
|
||||
- remove profile and development
|
||||
- leave in production and perhaps test
|
||||
- change production db name to: `discourse_prod`
|
||||
- Change `host_names` to the name you'll use to access the discourse site
|
||||
|
||||
Edit discourse/config/redis.yml
|
||||
|
||||
- no changes if this is the only application using redis, but have a look
|
||||
|
||||
Edit discourse/config/discourse.pill
|
||||
|
||||
- change application name from 'your_app' to however you want to distinguish this ('discourse')
|
||||
- Add option to Bluepill.application: `":base_dir => ENV["HOME"] + '/.bluepill'"`
|
||||
- Should end up looking something like: `Bluepill.application("discourse", :base_dir => ENV["HOME"] + '/.bluepill') do |app|`
|
||||
- comment out debug instance (from `app.process("thin-debug")` through to nearest `end`)
|
||||
- search for "host to run on" and change to current hostname
|
||||
- note: clockwork should run on only one host
|
||||
|
||||
Edit discourse/config/initializers/secret_token.rb
|
||||
- uncomment secret_token line
|
||||
- replace SET_SECRET_HERE with secret output from 'rake secret' command in discourse directory
|
||||
- delete the lines below as per instructions in the file
|
||||
|
||||
Edit discourse/config/environments/production.rb
|
||||
- check settings, modify smtp settings if necessary
|
||||
- See http://meta.discourse.org/t/all-of-my-internal-users-show-as-coming-from-127-0-0-1/6607 if this will serve "internal" users
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize the database:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as the discourse user
|
||||
# The database name here should match the production one in database.yml
|
||||
createdb discourse_prod
|
||||
RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=900000000 RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
|
||||
RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=900000000 RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
|
||||
|
||||
# TEMPORARY BUG WORKAROUND:
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/discourse/tmp/sockets
|
||||
|
||||
## nginx setup
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||||
sudo cp ~discourse/discourse/config/nginx.sample.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf
|
||||
|
||||
Edit /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf
|
||||
|
||||
- change socket paths to: "unix:/home/discourse/discourse/tmp/sockets/thin.0.sock;"
|
||||
- edit `server_name`. Example: "server_name cain.discourse.org test.cain.discourse.org;"
|
||||
- modify root location to match installed location: "root /home/discourse/discourse/public;"
|
||||
|
||||
## Bluepill setup
|
||||
|
||||
Configure bluepill:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as the discourse user
|
||||
gem install bluepill
|
||||
echo 'alias bluepill="bluepill --no-privileged -c ~/.bluepill"' >> ~/.bash_aliases
|
||||
rvm wrapper $(rvm current) bootup bluepill
|
||||
rvm wrapper $(rvm current) bootup bundle
|
||||
|
||||
Start Discourse:
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as the discourse user
|
||||
RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=900000000 RAILS_ROOT=~/discourse RAILS_ENV=production NUM_WEBS=4 bluepill --no-privileged -c ~/.bluepill load ~/discourse/config/discourse.pill
|
||||
|
||||
Add the bluepill startup to crontab.
|
||||
|
||||
# Run these commands as the discourse user
|
||||
crontab -e
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following line:
|
||||
|
||||
@reboot RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=900000000 RAILS_ROOT=~/discourse RAILS_ENV=production NUM_WEBS=4 bluepill --no-privileged -c ~/.bluepill load ~/discourse/config/discourse.pill
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations! You've got Discourse installed and running!
