.. highlight:: none ********** Deployment ********** There are different ways to deploy ILMO. We support an ansible+docker based deployment and manual installation. Ansible deployment ================== ILMO can be deployed with the `ilmo-ansible-role `_ that is based on the official ILMO docker image. This role will only install ilmo itself. If you want a complete setup that includes a database and a webserver with minimal configuration you can use the `mash-playbook `_ by following `it's documentation on ILMO `_. Manual Deployment ================= This guide describes the installation of a installation of ILMO from source. It is inspired by this great guide from pretix_. .. warning:: Even though this guide tries to make it as straightforward to run ILMO, it still requires some Linux experience to get it right. If you're not feeling comfortable managing a Linux server, check out a managed service_. This guide is tested on **Ubuntu20.04** but it should work very similar on other modern systemd based distributions. Requirements ------------ Please set up the following systems beforehand, it will not be explained here in detail (but see these links for external installation guides): * A SMTP server to send out mails, e.g. `Postfix`_ on your machine or some third-party server you have credentials for * A HTTP reverse proxy, e.g. `nginx`_ or Traefik to allow HTTPS connections * A `PostgreSQL`_ database server Also recommended is, that you use a firewall, although this is not a ILMO-specific recommendation. If you're new to Linux and firewalls, it is recommended that you start with `ufw`_. .. note:: Please, do not run ILMO without HTTPS encryption. You'll handle user data and thanks to `Let's Encrypt`_ SSL certificates can be obtained for free these days. Unix user --------- As we do not want to run ilmo as root, we first create a new unprivileged user:: # adduser ilmo --disabled-password --home /var/ilmo In this guide, all code lines prepended with a ``#`` symbol are commands that you need to execute on your server as ``root`` user (e.g. using ``sudo``); all lines prepended with a ``$`` symbol should be run by the unprivileged user. Database -------- Having the database server installed, we still need a database and a database user. We can create these with any kind of database managing tool or directly on our database's shell. Please make sure that UTF8 is used as encoding for the best compatibility. You can check this with the following command:: # sudo -u postgres psql -c 'SHOW SERVER_ENCODING' For PostgreSQL database creation, we would do:: # sudo -u postgres createuser ilmo # sudo -u postgres createdb -O ilmo ilmo # su ilmo $ psql > ALTER USER ilmo PASSWORD 'strong_password'; Package dependencies -------------------- To build and run ilmo, you will need the following debian packages:: # apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python3-venv python3 python3-pip \ python3-dev Config file ----------- We now create a config directory and config file for ilmo:: # mkdir /etc/ilmo # touch /etc/ilmo/ilmo.cfg # chown -R ilmo:ilmo /etc/ilmo/ # chmod 0600 /etc/ilmo/ilmo.cfg Fill the configuration file ``/etc/ilmo/ilmo.cfg`` with the following content (adjusted to your environment):: [ilmo] instance_name=My library url=https://ilmo.example.com [database] backend=postgresql name=ilmo user=ilmo [locations] static=/var/ilmo/static [mail] ; See config file documentation for more options ; from=ilmo@example.com ; host=127.0.0.1 ; user=ilmo ; password=foobar ; port=587 [security] ; See https://securitytxt.org/ for reference ;Contact= ;Expires= ;Encryption= ;Preferred-Languages= ;Scope= ;Policy= Install ilmo as package ------------------------ Now we will install ilmo itself. The following steps are to be executed as the ``ilmo`` user. Before we actually install ilmo, we will create a virtual environment to isolate the python packages from your global python installation:: $ python3 -m venv /var/ilmo/venv $ source /var/ilmo/venv/bin/activate (venv)$ pip3 install -U pip setuptools wheel We now clone and install ilmo, its direct dependencies and gunicorn:: (venv)$ git clone https://github.com/moan0s/ILMO2 (venv)$ cd ILMO2/src/ (venv)$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt (venv)$ pip3 install -e . Note that you need Python 3.6 or newer. You can find out your Python version using ``python -V``. Finally, we compile static files and create the database structure:: (venv)$ ./manage.py collectstatic (venv)$ ./manage.py migrate (venv)$ django-admin compilemessages --ignore venv Start ilmo as a service ------------------------- You should start ilmo using systemd to automatically start it after a reboot. Create a file named ``/etc/systemd/system/ilmo-web.service`` with the following content:: [Unit] Description=ilmo web service After=network.target [Service] User=ilmo Group=ilmo Environment="VIRTUAL_ENV=/var/ilmo/venv" Environment="PATH=/var/ilmo/venv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" ExecStart=/var/ilmo/venv/bin/gunicorn ilmo.wsgi \ --name ilmo --workers 5 \ --max-requests 1200 --max-requests-jitter 50 \ --log-level=info --bind=127.0.0.1:8345 WorkingDirectory=/var/ilmo Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target You can now run the following commands to enable and start the services:: # systemctl daemon-reload # systemctl enable ilmo-web # systemctl start ilmo-web SSL --- The following snippet is an example on how to configure a nginx proxy for ilmo:: server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; if ($scheme = http) { return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } # listen 443 ssl; listen [::]:443 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/ilmo.example.com/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/ilmo.example.com/privkey.pem; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5; # Set header add_header X-Clacks-Overhead "GNU Terry Pratchett"; add_header Permissions-Policy interest-cohort=(); #Anti FLoC add_header Referrer-Policy same-origin; add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; server_name ilmo.example.com; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8345; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; } location /static/ { alias /var/ilmo/static/; access_log off; expires 365d; add_header Cache-Control "public"; } } We recommend reading about setting `strong encryption settings`_ for your web server. Next steps ---------- Yay, you are done! You should now be able to reach ilmo at https://ilmo.example.com/ Updates ------- .. warning:: While we try hard not to break things, **please perform a backup before every upgrade**. To upgrade to a new ilmo release, pull the latest code changes and run the following commands:: $ source /var/ilmo/venv/bin/activate (venv)$ git pull (venv)$ pg_dump ilmo > ilmo.psql (venv)$ python manage.py migrate (venv)$ django-admin compilemessages --ignore venv # systemctl restart ilmo-web .. _Postfix: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-as-a-send-only-smtp-server-on-ubuntu-16-04 .. _nginx: https://botleg.com/stories/https-with-lets-encrypt-and-nginx/ .. _Let's Encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/ .. _MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/linux-installation-apt-repo.html .. _PostgreSQL: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-20-04 .. _redis: https://blog.programster.org/debian-8-install-redis-server/ .. _ufw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall .. _strong encryption settings: https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/ .. _service: hyteck.de/services .. _pretix: https://docs.pretix.eu/en/latest/admin/installation/manual_smallscale.html
