Nearly any Operating system is supported but for this tutorial I'm gonna presume you're using a Debian-based OS. You'll also need a domain name pointing to your server's IP address <a href="https://landchad.net/dns.html">which is explained in this tutorial.</a> + </p> +<h2>Installation</h2> +<h3>Setting Up and Configuring</h3> +<p>First things first you'll need to make sure that you've hardened you SSH so that password authentication is disabled and you'll also want to setup Fail2Ban. +There's a great tutorial on how to do this <a href="https://landchad.net/sshkeys.html">which can be read here.</a> +</p> +<p> +Next we'll install the required packages: +</p> +<pre><code>apt install -y curl unzip nginx certbot php-fpm php-mysql php-cli php7.3-mbstring php7.3-curl php7.3-xml php7.3-sqlite3 php7.3-json</code></pre> +<p>We now have to create the website configuration file. Create/open the a file below:</p> +<pre><code>nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge</code></pre> +<p>And add the following content:</p> +<pre><code>server { + root /var/www/rss-bridge; + index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html; + server_name rss-bridge.<strong>example.org</strong>; + location / { + try_files $uri $uri/ =404; + } + location ~ \.php$ { + include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; + fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock; + } + location ~ /\.ht { + deny all; + } +} +</code></pre> +<p>After you have saved the file, you need to create a symlink so the server actually will read the file.</p> +<pre><code>ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/rss-bridge</code></pre> +<p>Then we have to create the folder where the service will reside in.</p> +<pre><code>mkdir -p /var/www/rss-bridge +cd /var/www/rss-bridge +</code></pre> +<p>Lets download the latest version of RSS-Bridge in the directory.</p> +<p>The newest version can be found <a href="https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/releases">here</a>, at the time of writing that is "RSS-Bridge 2021-04-25."</p> + <pre><code>wget https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/archive/refs/tags/<strong>2021-04-25.zip</strong></code></pre> +<p>Unzip the file:</p> +<pre><code>unzip <strong>2021-04-25.zip</strong></code></pre> +<p>This will create a directory called rss-bridge-version-number, we now want to move all the file contents of the newly created directory to the one we are in</p> +<pre><code>mv <strong>rss-bridge-2021-04-25</strong>/* . +rm -rf <strong>rss-bridge-2021-04-25 2021-04-25.zip</strong> +</code></pre> +<p>Now all we need to do is grant read/write permissions and reload the web server.</p> +<pre><code>chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rss-bridge +systemctl reload nginx +</code></pre> +<p>That's it, you should now have a working rss-bridge installed. But you should definately get an SSL certifcate installed <a href="https://landchad.net/certbot.html">which is done briefly here</a>.</p> +<ul> + <li><a href="https://handskemager.xyz">handskemager.xyz</a></li> + <li>Bitcoin: <code class=crypto>bc1qhfjgwjzksf2auqjefwpvq20wvyugq3lhqgkxvu</code></li> + <li>Monero: <code class=crypto>88cPx6Gzv5RWRRJLstUt6hACF1BRKPp1RMka1ukyu2iuHT7iqzkNfMogYq3YdDAC8AAYRqmqQMkCgBXiwdD5Dvqw3LsPGLU</code></li> +</ul> + </main> + +]]></description> +</item> + + +<item> +<title>Rsync: Upload and Sync Files and Websites</title> +<guid>https://landchad.net/rsync.html</guid> +<link>https://landchad.net/rsync.html</link> +<pubDate>Sat, 03 Jul 2021 08:58:29 -0400</pubDate> +<description><![CDATA[ +<header><h1>Rsync: Upload and Sync Files and Websites</h1></header> +<main> + <p>rsync is a simple way to copy files and folders between your local computer and server.</p> + <p>It not only makes file-transfer easy, but it allows you to build and maintain your website offline, then easily upload it to the proper directory on your server so you don't need to constantly be logged into your server to modify your site.</p> +<h2 id="installing-rsync">Installing rsync</h2> +<p>Run the following on your server <em>and</em> on your local machine.</p> +<pre><code>apt install rsync</code></pre> +<h2 id="uploading-files-with-rsync">Uploading files with rsync</h2> +<p>From your local machine you can upload files to your server like this:</p> +<pre><code>rsync -ruvzP <strong>/path/to/file</strong> <strong>root@example.org:/path/on/the/server</strong></code></pre> +<p>You will be prompted for the root password and then uploading will commence.</p> +<p>If you omit <strong>root@</strong>, rsync will not attempt to log in as root, but whatever your local username is.</p> +<h3>Options to rsync</h3> +<p>In this command, we give several options to rsync:</p> +<ul> + <li><code>-r</code> – run recurssively (include directories)</li> + <li><code>-u</code> – update files (do not reupload files that are not changed since last upload)</li> + <li><code>-v</code> – visual, show files uploaded</li> + <li><code>-z</code> – compress files for upload</li> + <li><code>-P</code> – if uploading a large file and upload breaks, pick up where we left off rather than reuploading the entire file</li> +</ul> +<p>Avoid using the commonly used <code>-a</code> option when uploading. It changes can transfer your local machine's user and group permissions to your server, which might cause breakage.</p> +<h3>Scriptability</h3> +<p>It's a good idea to build your website offline, then make an rsync script or bash alias like the one above to upload the edited files when you have made updates.</p> +<h3>Password-less authentication</h3> +<p>To avoid having to manually input your password each upload, you can set up <a href="sshkeys.html">SSH keys</a> to securely idenitify yourself and computer as a trusted.</p> +<h3>Picky trailing slashes</h3> +<p>rsync is very particular about trailing slashes. This is useful, but can be confusing to some new users. Suppose we run the following wanting to mirror our offline copy of our website in the directory we use on our server (<code>/var/www/websitefiles/</code>):</p> +<pre><code>rsync -ruvzP ~/<strong>websitefiles/</strong> root@example.org:/var/www/<strong>websitefiles/</strong></code></pre> +<p>This will <em>not actually do quite what we want</em>. It will take our local <code>websitefiles</code> directory and put it <em>inside</em> <code>websitefiles</code> on the remote machine, ending up with: <code>/var/www/websitefiles/websitefiles</code>.</p> +<p>Instead, remove the trailing slash from the remote server location:</p> +<pre><code>rsync -ruvzP ~/<strong>websitefiles/</strong> root@example.org:/var/www/<strong>websitefiles</strong></code></pre> +<p><code>websitefiles/</code> has been replaced with <code>websitefiles</code>, and this will do what we want.</p> +<h2 id="downloading-file-with-rsync">Downloading files with rsync</h2> +<p>You may just as easily download files and directories from your server with rsync:</p> +<pre><code>rsync -urvzP <strong>root@example.org:/path/to/file</strong> <strong>/path/to/file</strong></code></pre> +<h2 id="contribution">Contribution</h2> +<ul><li>el3ctr0lyte: <a href="https://github.com/el3ctr0lyte">github</a>, XMR: <code class=crypto>86DBJdiG83ZDea6kJgsbVN5tMae5ScfuhJ3PihEMTHatCrGEw2gctyUB92V2fz4R4YhwRaQeAGL5M4gPRXvVvtkULJi4ayk</code></li><li>Substantial revisions by <a href="https://lukesmith.xyz">Luke</a></li></ul> +</main> +]]></description> +</item> + + +<item> <title>Setup a Pleroma Server</title> <guid>https://landchad.net/pleroma.html</guid> <link>https://landchad.net/pleroma.html</link> |
