Get Lobber from git.nordu.net and check out the latest stable version.
git clone git@git.nordu.net:lobber.git cd lobber git checkout bud-light
Create the a log directory and symlink the environment directory and Django admin media directory in to the lobber directory.
/path/to/lobber/ mkdir logs cd src ln -s /path/to/lobber_env env ln -s env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media admin-media
Edit paths and other options in settings.py.
APP_ADDR = 'host_ip'
TRACKER_ADDR = 'host_ip'
ADMINS = (
('Your name', 'your@email.net'),
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2'
DATABASE_NAME = 'lobber'
DATABASE_USER = 'lobber'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'secret_password'
DATABASE_HOST = 'database host'
DATABASE_PORT = 'database port'
DROPBOX_DIR = '/dir/writable/by/apache/user/dropbox'
# Make this unique, and don't share it with anybody.

)
Synchronize the database.
./dev-django-admin.sh syncdb
Setup Orbited by creating /etc/orbited.cfg:
[listen] http://:9001 stomp://:61613 [access] * -> localhost:61613 [static] [global] session.ping_interval = 300 user=www-data [logging] debug=STDERR,debug.log info=STDERR,info.log access=STDERR,info.log warn=STDERR,error.log error=STDERR,error.log #Don't enable debug by default enabled.default=info,access,warn,error
and make sure that orbited is started like this automatically at boot: echo "orbited -c /etc/orbited.cfg" >> /etc/rc.local
You might need:
pip install stompservice
Activate some Apache modules:
# a2enmod shib2 # a2enmod headers # a2enmod rewrite # a2enmod proxy # a2enmod proxy_http
Set up cron jobs for expiring old torrents, keys and peers.
# m h dom mon dow command */5 * * * * cd /path/to/lobber/src/ && ./dev-django-admin.sh expire_peers 5 /dev/null 2>&1 0 0 * * * cd /path/to/lobber/src/ && ./dev-django-admin.sh expire_torrents >/dev/null 2>&1 5 0 * * * cd /path/to/lobber/src/ && ./dev-django-admin.sh expire_keys >/dev/null 2>&1
To be able to accept file uploads in the Lobber web application you need to install a Lobber storage node on the web application and tracker server.
Storage node
Note that the web application and tracker server needs a storage node nowadays – that's how we do file upload.
Database server
apt-get install postgresql-client-8.4
