SmartOS
========
Requirements
----------------
NodeBB requires the following software to be installed:
* A version of Node.js at least 0.8 or greater.
* Redis, version 2.6 or greater (steps to install from Joyent's package repository given below).
* nginx, version 1.3.13 or greater (**only if** intending to use nginx to proxy requests to a NodeBB server).
Server Access
----------------
1. Sign in your Joyent account: `Joyent.com <http://joyent.com>`_
2. Select: ``Create Instance``
3. Create the newest ``smartos nodejs`` image.
**Note:** The following steps have been tested with image: ``smartos nodejs 13.1.0``
4. Wait for your instance to show `Running` then click on its name.
5. Find your ``Login`` and admin password. If the ``Credentials`` section is missing, refresh the webpage.
**Example:** ``ssh root@0.0.0.0`` ``A#Ca{c1@3``
6. SSH into your server as the admin not root: ``ssh admin@0.0.0.0``
**Note:** For Windows users that do not have ssh installed, here is an option: `Cygwin.com <http://cygwin.com>`_
Installation
----------------
1. Install NodeBB's software dependencies:
.. code:: bash
$ sudo pkgin update
$ sudo pkgin install scmgit nodejs build-essential ImageMagick redis
If any of these failed:
.. code:: bash
$ pkgin search *failed-name*
$ sudo pkgin install *available-name*
2. **If needed** setup a redis-server with default settings as a service (automatically starts and restarts):
**Note:** These steps quickly setup a redis server but does not fine-tuned it for production.
**Note:** If you ran `redis-server` manually then exit out of it now.
.. code:: bash
$ svcadm enable redis
$ svcs
*-* If `svcs` shows "/pkgsrc/redis:default" in maintenance mode then:
.. code:: bash
$ scvadm clear redis
*-* To shut down your redis-server and keep it from restarting:
.. code:: bash
$ scvadm disable redis
*-* To start up your redis-server and have it always running:
.. code:: bash
$ scvadm enable redis
3. Move to where you want to create the nodebb folder:
.. code:: bash
$ cd /parent/directory/of/nodebb/
4. Clone NodeBB's repository:
.. code:: bash
$ git clone git://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
5. Install NodeBB's npm dependencies:
.. code:: bash
$ cd nodebb/
$ npm install
6. Run NodeBB's setup script:
.. code:: bash
$ node app --setup
A. `URL of this installation` is either your public ip address from your ssh `Login` or your domain name pointing to that ip address.
**Example:** `http://0.0.0.0` or `http://example.org`
B. `Port number of your NodeBB` is the port needed to access your site:
**Note:** If you do not proxy your port with something like nginx then port 80 is recommended for production.
C. If you used the above steps to setup your redis-server then use the default redis settings.
7. Start NodeBB process:
**Run NodeBB manually:**
**Note:** This should not be used for production.
.. code:: bash
$ node app
8. Visit your app!
**Example:** With a port of 4567: ``http://0.0.0.0:4567`` or ``http://example.org:4567``
**Note:** With port 80 the `:80` does not need to be entered.
