# Lago
|
|
|
|
[Lago](https://www.getlago.com/) is an open-source metering and usage-based billing solution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
This service requires the following other services:
|
|
|
|
- a [Postgres](postgres.md) database
|
|
- a [Redis](redis.md) data-store, installation details [below](#redis)
|
|
- a [Traefik](traefik.md) reverse-proxy server
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
|
|
lago_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
lago_hostname: lago.example.com
|
|
|
|
# Generate this using `openssl genrsa 2048 | base64 --wrap=0`
|
|
lago_api_environment_variable_lago_rsa_private_key: ''
|
|
|
|
# WARNING: remove this after you create your user account,
|
|
# unless you'd like to run a server with public registration enabled.
|
|
lago_front_environment_variable_lago_disable_signup: false
|
|
|
|
# Redis configuration, as described below
|
|
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# /lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### URL
|
|
|
|
In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at `https://lago.example.com`.
|
|
|
|
Hosting Lago under a subpath (by configuring the `lago_path_prefix` variable) does not seem to be possible right now, due to Lago limitations.
|
|
|
|
Our setup hosts the Lago frontend at the root path (`/`) and the Lago API at the `/api` prefix.
|
|
This seems to work well, except for [PDF invoices failing due to a Lago bug](https://github.com/getlago/lago/issues/221).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
|
|
Public registration can be enabled/disabled using the `lago_front_environment_variable_lago_disable_signup` variable.
|
|
|
|
We recommend installing with public registration enabled at first, creating your first user account, and then disabling public registration (unless you need it).
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that disabling public signup with this variable merely disables the Sign-Up page in the web interface, but [does not actually disable signups due to a Lago bug](https://github.com/getlago/lago/issues/220).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Redis
|
|
|
|
As described on the [Redis](redis.md) documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require Redis on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate Redis instance for each service. See [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-lago).
|
|
|
|
If you're only running Lago on this server and don't need to use Redis for anything else, you can [use a single Redis instance](#using-the-shared-redis-instance-for-lago).
|
|
|
|
#### Using the shared Redis instance for Lago
|
|
|
|
To install a single (non-dedicated) Redis instance (`mash-redis`) and hook Lago to it, add the following **additional** configuration:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# redis #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
|
|
redis_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# /redis #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################

# lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
|
|
# Base configuration as shown above
|
|
|
|
# Point Lago to the shared Redis instance
|
|
lago_redis_hostname: "{{ redis_identifier }}"
|
|
|
|
# Make sure the Lago service (mash-lago.service) starts after the shared Redis service (mash-redis.service)
|
|
lago_api_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
|
|
- "{{ redis_identifier }}.service"
|
|
|
|
# Make sure the Lago container is connected to the container network of the shared Redis service (mash-redis)
|
|
lago_api_container_additional_networks_custom:
|
|
- "{{ redis_identifier }}"
|
|
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# /lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create a `mash-redis` Redis instance on this host.
|
|
|
|
This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require Redis. Alternatively, go for [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-lago).
|
|
|
|
#### Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago
|
|
|
|
The following instructions are based on the [Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host](../running-multiple-instances.md) documentation.
|
|
|
|
Adjust your `inventory/hosts` file as described in [Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts](../running-multiple-instances.md#re-do-your-inventory-to-add-supplementary-hosts), adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if `lago.example.com` is your main one, create `lago.example.com-deps`).
|
|
|
|
Then, create a new `vars.yml` file for the
|
|
|
|
`inventory/host_vars/lago.example.com-deps/vars.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|

|
########################################################################
|
|
|
|
# Put a strong secret below, generated with `pwgen -s 64 1` or in another way
|
|
# Various other secrets will be derived from this secret automatically.
|
|
mash_playbook_generic_secret_key: ''
|
|
|
|
# Override service names and directory path prefixes
|
|
mash_playbook_service_identifier_prefix: 'mash-lago-'
|
|
mash_playbook_service_base_directory_name_prefix: 'lago-'
|
|
|
|
########################################################################

########################################################################
|
|
|
|
redis_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# /redis #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create a `mash-lago-redis` instance on this host with its data in `/mash/lago-redis`.
|
|
|
|
Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (`inventory/host_vars/lago.example.com/vars.yml`) like this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
|
|
# Base configuration as shown above
|
|
|
|
# Point Lago to its dedicated Redis instance
|
|
lago_redis_hostname: mash-lago-redis
|
|
|
|
# Make sure the Lago service (mash-lago.service) starts after its dedicated Redis service (mash-lago-redis.service)
|
|
lago_api_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
|
|
- "mash-lago-redis.service"
|
|
|
|
# Make sure the Lago container is connected to the container network of its dedicated Redis service (mash-lago-redis)
|
|
lago_api_container_additional_networks_custom:
|
|
- "mash-lago-redis"
|
|
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
# #
|
|
# /lago #
|
|
# #
|
|
########################################################################
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
After installation, you can go to the Lago URL, as defined in `lago_hostname`.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in [Authentication](#authentication) above, you can create the first user from the web interface.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to prevent other users from registering, consider disabling public registration by removing the `lago_front_environment_variable_lago_disable_signup` references from your configuration and re-running the playbook (`just install-service lago`).
