<h1 align=center>Installation of 4get in NGINX</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
>I do NOT recommend following this guide, only follow this if you *really* need to use nginx. I recommend you use the apache2 steps instead.

Login as root.
|
||||
> NOTE: As the previous version stated, it is better to follow the <a href="https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get/src/branch/master/docs/apache2.md">Apache2 guide</a> instead of the Nginx one.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file in `/etc/nginx/sites-avaliable/` called `4get.conf` or any name you want and put this into the file:
|
||||
> NOTE: This is going to guess that you're using either a <abbr title="(Arch Linux, Artix Linux, Endeavouros, etc...) ">Arch-based system</abbr> or a <abbr title="(Debian, Ubuntu, Devuan, etc...)">Debian-based system</abbr>, although you can still follow it with minor issues.

</div>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Login as root.
|
||||
2. Upgrade your system:
|
||||
* On Arch-based, run `pacman -Syu`.
|
||||
* On Debian-based, run `apt update`, then `apt upgrade`.
|
||||
3. Install the following dependencies:
|
||||
* `git`: So you can clone <a href="https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get">this</a> repository.
|
||||
* `nginx`: So you can run Nginx. If using a non-systemd distribution, go to <a href=""></a>
|
||||
* `php-fpm`: This is what allows Nginx to run *(and show)* PHP files.
|
||||
* `php-imagick`, `imagemagick`: Image manipulation.
|
||||
* `php-apcu`: Caching module.
|
||||
* `php-curl`, `curl`: Transferring data with URLs.
|
||||
* `php-mbstring`: String utils.
|
||||
* `certbot`, `certbot-nginx`: ACME client. Used to create SSL certificates.
|
||||
* In Arch-based distributions:
|
||||
* `pacman -S nginx certbot php-imagick imagemagick curl php-apcu git`
|
||||
* In Debian-based distributions:
|
||||
* `apt install php-mbstring nginx certbot php-imagick imagemagick php-curl curl php-apcu git`
|
||||
|
||||
<div align=right>
|
||||
|
||||
> IMPORTANT: `php-curl`, `php-mbstring` might be a Debian-only package, but this needs further fact checking.
|
||||
|
||||
> IMPORTANT: `php-apcu` is known to not work on Artix[^1].
|

|

4. `cd` to `/etc/nginx` and make the `conf.d/` if it doesn't exist:
|
||||
* Again, this guesses you're logged in as root.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cd /etc/nginx
|
||||
ls -l conf.d/ # If ls shows conf.d, then it means it exists.
|
||||
# If it does not, run:
|
||||
mkdir conf.d
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Make a file inside `conf.d/` called `4get.conf` and place the following content:
|
||||
* First run `touch conf.d/4get.conf` then `nano conf.d/4get.conf` to open the nano editor: *(Install it if it is not, or use another editor.)*
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
server {
|

# DO YOU REALLY NEED TO LOG SEARCHES?
|

access_log /dev/null;

That is a very basic config so you will need to adapt it to your needs in case you have a more complicated nginx configuration. Anyways, you can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)
|
||||
|
||||
After you save the file you will need to do a symlink of the `4get.conf` file to `/etc/nignx/sites-enabled/`, you can do it with this command:
|
||||
|
||||
* The above is a very basic configuration and thus will need tweaking to your personal needs. It should still work as-is, though. A 'real world' example is present in [^2].
|
||||
* After saving the file, check that the `nginx.conf` file inside the main directory includes files inside `conf.d/`:
|
||||
* It should be inside the the http block: *(The following is an example! Don't just Copy and Paste it!)*
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf
|
||||
http {
|
||||
include mime.types;
|
||||
include conf.d/*.conf;
|
||||
types_hash_max_size 4096;
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Now, test your configuration with `nginx -t`, if it says that everything is good, restart *(or start)* the Nginx daemon:
|
||||
* This depends on the init manager, most distributions use `systemd`, but it's better practice to include most.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# systemd
|
||||
systemctl stop nginx
|
||||
systemctl start nginxt
|
||||
# or
|
||||
systemctl restart nginx
|
||||
|
||||
Now test the nginx config with `nginx -t`, if it says that everything is good, restart nginx using `systemctl restart nginx`
|
||||
# openrc
|
||||
rc-service nginx stop
|
||||
rc-service nginx start
|
||||
# or
|
||||
rc-service nginx restart
|
||||
|
||||
# Encryption setup
|
||||
# runit
|
||||
sv down nginx
|
||||
sv up nginx
|
||||
# or
|
||||
sv restart nginx
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a certificate for the domain using:
|
||||
# s6
|
||||
s6-rc -d change nginx
|
||||
s6-rc -u change nginx
|
||||
# or
|
||||
s6-svc -r /run/service/nginx
|
||||
|
||||
# dinit
|
||||
dinitctl stop nginx
|
||||
dinitctl start nginx
|
||||
# or
|
||||
dinitctl restart nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. Clone the repository to `/var/www`:
|
||||
* `git clone --depth 1 https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get 4get` - It clones the repository with the depth of one commit *(so it takes less time to download)* and saves the cloned repository as '4get'.
|
||||
7. That should be it! There are some extra steps you can take, but it really just depends on you.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 align=center>Encryption setup</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Generate a certificate for the domain you're using with:
|
||||
* Note that `certbot-nginx` is needed.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
certbot --nginx --key-type ecdsa -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
(Remember to install the nginx certbot plugin!!!)
|
||||
2. After that, certbot will deploy the certificate automatically to your 4get conf file; It should be ready to use from there.
|
||||
|
||||
After doing that certbot should deploy the certificate automatically into your 4get nginx config file. It should be ready to use at that point.
|
||||
<h2 align=center>Tor Setup</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
# Tor setup on NGINX
|
||||
<div align=right>
|
||||
|
||||
Important Note: Tor onion addresses are significantly longer than traditional domain names. Before proceeding with Nginx configuration, ensure you increase the `server_names_hash_bucket_size` value in your `nginx.conf` file. This setting in your Nginx configuration controls the internal data structure used to manage multiple server names (hostnames) associated with your web server. Each hostname requires a certain amount of memory within this structure. If the size is insufficient, Nginx will encounter errors.
|
||||
> IMPORTANT: Tor onion addresses are very long compared to traditional domains, so, Before doing anything, edit `nginx.conf` and increase <abbr title="This setting in your Nginx configuration controls the internal data structure used to manage multiple server names (hostnames) associated with your web server.

|
||||
|
||||
1. Open your `nginx.conf` file (that is under `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`).
|
||||
2. Find the line containing `# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;`.
|
||||
3. Uncomment the line and adjust the value. Start with 64, but if you encounter issues, incrementally increase it (e.g., 128, 256) until it accommodates your configuration.
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Open your current 4get NGINX config (that is under `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`) and append this to the end of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. `cd` to `/etc/nginx` *(if you haven't)* and open your `nginx.conf` file.
|
||||
2. Find the line containing `# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;` inside said file.
|
||||
3. Uncomment the line and adjust the value; start with 64, but if you encounter issues, incrementally increase it *(e.g., 128, 256)* until it accommodates your configuration.
|
||||
4. Open *(or duplicate the configuration)* and edit it:
|
||||
* Example configuration, again:
|

A real world example is present in [^2].
|

5. Once done, check the configuration with `nginx -t`. If everything's fine and dandy, refer to <a href="https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get/src/branch/master/docs/tor.md">the Tor guide</a> to setup your onion site.
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously replace `<youronionaddress>` by the onion address of `/var/lib/tor/4get/hostname` and then check if the nginx config is valid with `nginx -t` if yes, then restart the nginx service and try opening the onion address into the Tor Browser. You can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)

<h2 align=center>Known issues</h2>
|
||||
1. `php-apcu` not working in Artix[^1], this might be because of it being a systemd daemon, but the binary isn't present. This might apply to Arch Linux as well, since it is from where the package was gotten. Read more in the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: lolcat/4get#40, It might be needed to create a boot entry, but the binary is unknown.
