Vervis is still in early development. These instructions may be incomplete
|
|
and/or slightly outdated. At the time of writing, you can get a running Vervis
|
|
instance if you follow the steps below.
|
|
|
|
Check the version of OpenSSL installed on your system. For example:
|
|
|
|
$ apt show openssl
|
|
|
|
Currently Vervis is using a slightly old software configuration, and until I
|
|
fix that, it doesn't build with OpenSSL 1.1 and needs the older 1.0 or 1.0.1
|
|
version. If your distro has 1.1, see if you can grab 1.0 or 1.0.1 in some way,
|
|
either through the distro package or by downloading OpenSSL manually from its
|
|
website, or some alternative package manager such as GNU Guix.
|
|
|
|
Install dependency library development packages. It's very likely you already
|
|
have them all installed, and if you're missing some, the build process will
|
|
inform you. But it's still nice to have a list here. The list below isn't a
|
|
complete list, it's just libraries that people have found missing while
|
|
building, and let me know.
|
|
|
|
- PostgreSQL client library
|
|
- ZLib
|
|
|
|
On Debian based distros, installation can be done like this:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt install libpq-dev zlib1g-dev
|
|
|
|
Install stack. To install stack, go to its [website](https://haskellstack.org)
|
|
and follow the instructions. If you have some old version, such as one
|
|
installed from FPComplete's old debian repo, you may need to upgrade it.
|
|
|
|
Install Darcs. You can grab it from your distro, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt install darcs
|
|
|
|
If you're going to create a Git repository on Vervis, you'll need Git too, you
|
|
can install it from a distro package too, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt install git
|
|
|
|
Clone the Vervis repo:
|
|
|
|
$ darcs clone https://dev.seek-together.space/s/fr33domlover/r/vervis
|
|
$ cd vervis
|
|
|
|
Install GHC. Unless you prefer to use a distro package or PPA or some other
|
|
source, the easiest way is to install via stack:
|
|
|
|
$ stack setup
|
|
|
|
Some of the dependency libraries need to be manually downloaded. Either because
|
|
I've written them and haven't released yet, or because they have unreleased
|
|
changes, or because I'm using a patched version of some library and the patch
|
|
hasn't found its way upstream.
|
|
|
|
In the `stack.yaml` file, under the `packages` field, there is a list of such
|
|
libraris. While `stack` supports fetching dependencies from Git repositories,
|
|
it doesn't support Darcs (if that changes and I haven't noticed, let me know!),
|
|
so we need to download them by ourselves. A line in the `packages` list that
|
|
looks like this needs manual download:
|
|
|
|
` - '../some-library-name'`
|
|
|
|
These details change often because of all the unreleased libraries and patches,
|
|
so until there are sane releases for everything, the instructions here aren't
|
|
always up to date. Basically it works like this:
|
|
|
|
- Those extra repos should be found at the
|
|
[Vervis project page](https://dev.seek-together.space/s/fr33domlover/p/vervis)
|
|
- If something is missing there, try my
|
|
[Darcs Hub page](https://hub.darcs.net/fr33domlover)
|
|
- Use `darcs clone` to grab the library source code
|
|
|
|
As of May 14, 2018, what you need to do is as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ VERVIS='https://dev.seek-together.space/s/fr33domlover/r'
|
|
$ HUB='https://hub.darcs.net/fr33domlover'
|
|
$ darcs clone $HUB/hit-graph
|
|
$ darcs clone $HUB/hit-harder
|
|
$ darcs clone $HUB/hit-network
|
|
$ darcs clone $VERVIS/darcs-rev
|
|
$ darcs clone $VERVIS/ssh
|
|
$ darcs clone $VERVIS/persistent-migration
|
|
$ darcs clone $VERVIS/persistent-email-addres
|
|
$ darcs clone $VERVIS/yesod-mail-send --to-hash 2800294a41daf57cd420710bc79c8c9b06c0d3dd
|
|
|
|
Update `stack.yaml` to specify the paths in the `packages` section if needed:
|
|
|
|
$ vim stack.yml
|
|
|
|
Generate a new SSH key with a blank password:
|
|
|
|
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f config/ssh-host-key
|
|
|
|
Install PostgreSQL. You'll need the server and the client library development
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql libpq-dev
|
|
|
|
Switch to `postgres` system user:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo su - postgres
|
|
|
|
Create a PostgreSQL user.
|
|
|
|
With password:
|
|
|
|
$ createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser --encrypted --pwprompt vervis
|
|
|
|
No password (if you run Vervis as a user by the same name as the DB user):
|
|
|
|
$ createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser vervis
|
|
|
|
Create a PostgreSQL database:
|
|
|
|
$ createdb --encoding=UTF8 --owner=vervis vervis
|
|
|
|
Update the settings to specify correct database connection details and other
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
$ cp config/settings-default.yaml config/settings.yml
|
|
$ vim config/settings.yml
|
|
|
|
Build.
|
|
|
|
$ stack build
|
|
|
|
Run.
|
|
|
|
$ stack exec vervis
|
|
|
|
Browse to `http://localhost:3000` and have fun!
|
|
|
|
`yesod devel` is another way to run the application, useful for rapid
|
|
development, but I haven't been using it and I'm not sure it works, possibly I
|
|
broke something along the way. But feel free to try!
