# Some Observations About Installing Mastodon on Arch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Nginx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the [Production Guide](https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Production-guide.md)
|
||
|
|
you can copy the example nginx.conf file to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/some_arbitrary.conf`,
|
||
|
|
and then add the following to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` in the http section,
|
||
|
|
this with a fresh install of nginx with the default configuration file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
|
||
|
|
http {
|
||
|
|
include sites-enabled/*;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installing the Dependancies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
pacman -S certbot nginx libxml2 imagemagick ffmpeg git yarn npm python2 oidentd
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# I'm guessing here
|
||
|
|
pacman -S libpqxx libxslt protobuf protobuf-c
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* I'm assuming base-devel is installed
|
||
|
|
* python2 seems to be required to run `yarn install` command later on
|
||
|
|
* oidentd seems to be a usable replacement for pident
|
||
|
|
* libpqxx pulls in postgresql-libs
|
||
|
|
* file is already installed
|
||
|
|
* curl is already installed
|
||
|
|
* ruby-build and rbenv are installable from aur
|
||
|
|
* also postgresql and redis unless, those are in another container or whatever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Other Observations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I discovered that between `gem install bundler` and
|
||
|
|
`bundle install --deployment --without development test`,
|
||
|
|
you have to update your environment, with
|
||
|
|
`eval "$(rbenv init -)"`, i.e.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> .bashrc
|
||
|
|
# and then
|
||
|
|
. ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have to update your environment more than once, during the
|
||
|
|
installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Presumably you don't ever want to delete the `~/live/Public/` directory
|
||
|
|
if that is where assets are being stored, but it seems ok to delete
|
||
|
|
`~/live/node_modules` and then rerun the `yarn install` command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In `~/live/.env.production`, `SINGLE_USER_MODE=false` has to be set
|
||
|
|
to `false` until at least one user is created, or the web service won't
|
||
|
|
even start. (Also `chmod 755 ~/`)
