Installation
|
|
|
|
Commands starting with # are to be is to run as root.
|
|
|
|
1. Get the sources
|
|
Get the source code by running
|
|
$ git clone https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat
|
|
You can also download the latest source tarball from the URL
|
|
"https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/snapshot/bloat-master.tar.gz"
|
|
|
|
2. Build and install
|
|
Install GO from your system's package manager or from https://golang.org/dl,
|
|
then run make to compile the source.
|
|
$ make
|
|
# make install
|
|
This will perform a system wide installation of bloat. By default, it will
|
|
install the binary in /usr/local/bin, data files in /var/bloat and config
|
|
file in /etc. You can change these paths by editing the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
3. Edit the config file
|
|
Comments in the config file describe what each config value does. For most
|
|
cases, you only need to change the value of "client_website".
|
|
# $EDITOR /etc/bloat.conf
|
|
|
|
4. Create a separate user account to run bloat
|
|
It's not required to create a separate user account, but it's a good practice
|
|
to do so.
|
|
# useradd _bloat
|
|
# chown -R _bloat:_bloat /var/bloat
|
|
Replace /var/bloat with the value you specified in the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
5. Run the binary
|
|
# su _bloat -c bloat
|
|
Now you should create an init script to automatically start the service at
|
|
system startup.
|
|
|
|
6. Setup TLS
|
|
You can use an HTTP server as a reverse proxy to serve bloat over HTTPS. Here's
|
|
a config file snippet for nginx:
|
|
`
|
|
server {
|
|
server_name bloat.example.com;
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
server {
|
|
server_name bloat.example.com;
|
|
listen 443 ssl;
|
|
|
|
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/ssl/example.com.crt;
|
|
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/example.com.fullchain.pem;
|
|
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/example.com.key;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
`
|
|
This configuration accepts for connections for bloat.example.com (specified by
|
|
"client_website" in config) over both HTTP and HTTPS and forwards them to
|
|
bloat's listen address (specified by "listen_address" in config).
