# 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. `your-mobilizon-domain.com`
* 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
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
Install Elixir dependencies
```bash
mix deps.get
```
!!! note
When asked for `Shall I install Hex?` or `Shall I install rebar3?`, hit the enter key to confirm.
Then compile these dependencies and Mobilizon (this can take a few minutes, and can output all kinds of warnings, such as depreciation issues)
```bash
MIX_ENV=prod mix compile
```
Go into the `js/` directory
```bash
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
cd js
```
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
and install the Javascript dependencies
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
```bash
yarn install
```
Finally, we can build the front-end (this can take a few seconds)
```bash
yarn run build
```
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
Let's go back to the main directory
```bash
cd ../
```
## Configuration
Mobilizon provides a command line tool to generate configuration
```bash
MIX_ENV=prod 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.
Exit running as the mobilizon user (as it shouldn't have `root`/`sudo` rights) and execute in the `/home/mobilizon/live` directory:
```bash
sudo -u postgres psql -f setup_db.psql
```
It should output something like:
```
CREATE ROLE
CREATE DATABASE
You are now connected to database "mobilizon_prod" as user "postgres".
CREATE EXTENSION
CREATE EXTENSION
CREATE EXTENSION
```
Let's get back to our `mobilizon` user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
```
!!! 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
We can quit using the `mobilizon` user again.
### Systemd
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
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
```
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
And enable the service
```bash
systemctl enable --now mobilizon.service
```
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
It will run Mobilizon and enable startup on boot. You can follow the logs with
```bash
sudo journalctl -fu mobilizon.service
```
You should see something like this:
```
Running Mobilizon.Web.Endpoint with cowboy 2.8.0 at :::4000 (http)
Access Mobilizon.Web.Endpoint at https://your-mobilizon-domain.com
```
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`.
### Let's Encrypt
The nginx configuration template handles the HTTP-01 challenge with the webroot plugin:
```bash
sudo mkdir /var/www/certbot
```
Run certbot with (don't forget to adapt the command)
```bash
sudo certbot certonly --rsa-key-size 4096 --webroot -w /var/www/certbot/ --email your@email.com --agree-tos --text --renew-hook "/usr/sbin/nginx -s reload" -d your-mobilizon-domain.com
```
Then adapt the nginx configuration `/etc/nginx/sites-available/mobilizon.conf` by uncommenting certificate paths and removing obsolete blocks.
Finish by testing the configuration with `sudo nginx -t` and reloading nginx with `systemctl reload nginx`.
You should now be able to load https://your-mobilizon-domain.com inside your browser.
## Creating your first user
Login back as the `mobilizon` system user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
```
Create a new user:
```
MIX_ENV=prod mix mobilizon.users.new "your@email.com" --admin --password "Y0urP4ssw0rd"
```
!!! danger
Don't forget to prefix the command with an empty space so that the chosen password isn't kept in your shell history.
!!! tip
You can ignore the `--password` option and Mobilizon will generate one for you.
See the [full documentation](./CLI tasks/manage_users.md#create-a-new-user) for this command.
You may now login with your credentials and discover Mobilizon. Feel free to explore [configuration documentation](./configure) as well.
## 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`. Finish by restarting the `mobilizon` service.
Mobilizon will only show a warning at startup if the database is missing, but it isn't required.
