# Create Your Own Spee.ch!

## 1. Prerequisites

### You will need the following tools installed

- Node (v8 LTS).
- Make sure you install from the **Node** website [link](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
- npm (should come installed with Node).
- Git
- Curl
- Tmux
- Unzip

### Make sure **npm** is up-to-date.

```
$ npm update
```

### Setup a Webserver to serve **Spee.ch** from Port **3000**.

- If you are using a server provided by **lbry**, we will have **caddy** installed already.
- If you are using your own server, make sure to have a web server installed and set up to serve from port **3000**.
- Nginx instructions (recommended).

  - Insert directions for certbot before installing.
  - Install [Nginx](http://nginx.org/en/docs/install.html).
  - Create a config file called `spee.ch` in _/etc/nginx/sites-available_
  - see example: [config file](https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch/blob/master/nginx_example_config).
  - Rename all mentions of _sub.domain.com_ with your subdomain name.
  - Run this command to link the sites-available.

    `$ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/speech /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/speech`

  - Restart Nginx.

    `$ sudo service nginx restart`

  - Try visiting your website.
    - If Nginx is working, you should get a **502** error because there is nothing running on **3000** yet.
    - If you get the default Nginx greeting, you have not properly configured it to serve from port **3000**.
    - You can find logs in _/var/log/nginx/_ too.
  - Caddy tutorial: [https://caddyserver.com/tutorial](https://caddyserver.com/tutorial)

### MySql

- Install MySql
  - [Instructions](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installation-excerpt/5.7/en)
- Create user **root**. \* Note: We are going to access **mysql** as **root** for this setup, but you may want to create a separate user in the future.
  - Keep your password somewhere handy!
- Create a database called **lbry** and make sure you can use it.

      	  `CREATE DATABASE lbry;`

      	  `$ USE lbry;`

      	  `$ exit; (or press ‘ctl + d’)`

- Try logging into mysql.

      	  `$ mysql -u username -p`

- If you are using a **LBRY** server, your **password** is the one provided for **ssh**.
  - Note: If it fails, try using `sudo`.

##2. Install & Run the LBRY Daemon

### Install **lbrynet**

_note: if you have a server from LBRY, lbrynet is already installed, you can skip to 2.4._

```
$ wget --quiet -O ~/latest_daemon.zip https://lbry.com/get/lbrynet.linux.zip
$ unzip -o -u "~/latest_daemon.zip"
```

### Start lbrynet

```
$ tmux
$ ./lbrynet-daemon
```

### Detach (exit) the tmux session and leave **lbrynet** running in the background.

press `ctrl` + `b` then `d` to detach

### Get LBC!

Get a list of your wallets:

```
$ ~/lbrynet-cli wallet_list
```

Send some LBC to one of the addresses from your wallet.

Check your balance again:

```
$ ~/lbrynet-cli wallet_balance
```

You should have **LBC**!

### Install ffmpeg

directions: [here](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html)

## 3. Set up Spee.ch

### Clone the spee.ch repo

```
$ git clone https://github.com/lbryio/www.spee.ch.git
```

Change directory into your site’s folder

```
$ cd <name-of-your-site>` or `$ cd www.spee.ch
```

Install dependencies

```
$ npm install
```

Run the config cli:

```
$ npm run configure

Check your site configs

```
$ cd /site/config/
$ nano siteConfig.json
```

### Build & run

Run the below command to transpile, build, and start your server.

```
$ npm run start
```

_**Note:** if you had to use `sudo` to login to **mysql** above, you may have issues with this step._

Spee.ch should now be running !

Visit your site in the browser. Try publishing an image!

## 4. Bonus:

### Install PM2 and run your server with PM2

Install PM2

```
$ sudo npm i -g pm2

From inside your project’s folder, start your server with PM2.
