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 |

# 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.
Note that the web application and tracker server needs a storage node nowadays – that's how we do file upload.
apt-get install postgresql-client-8.4 |
Look at the official Django database documentation.
