# 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
2019-05-19 11:38:09 +02:00
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
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
NODE_ENV=production 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 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
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
```
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.
