Create Your Own Spee.ch on Ubuntu 16.x 18.x VPS

Overview

Prerequisites

• UBUNTU 16+ VPS with root access
  • Your login info ready
• Domain name with @ and www pointed at your VPS IP
• Email Address
• Ability to send 5+ LBRY credits to an address
• Noncommercial use
• We recommend that you fork Spee.ch so that you can customize the site.

You'll be installing:

• MYSQL DB
  • Default Port
• NODE v8+
• HTTPS PROXY SERVER
  • Caddy for personal use
  • Exposed ports: 22, 80, 443, 3333, 4444
  • Reverse proxies to App on 3000
• SPEE.CH
• LBRYNET DAEMON

1. Update OS and install packages

OS

sudo apt-get update -y

ulimit -n 8192

Git

sudo apt-get install git -y

NODE v8

wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Curl, Tmux, Unzip, ffmpeg

sudo apt-get install curl tmux unzip ffmpeg -y

Grab config files

git clone https://github.com/jessopb/speechconfigs.git

chmod 640 -R ~/speechconfigs

2 Secure the UFW firewall

UFW

sudo ufw status

sudo ufw allow 80

sudo ufw allow 443

sudo ufw allow 22

sudo ufw allow 3333

sudo ufw allow 4444

sudo ufw default allow outgoing

sudo ufw default deny incoming

sudo ufw show added

sudo ufw enable (yes, you've allowed ssh 22)

sudo ufw status

3 Install Caddy to handle https and reverse proxy

Get Caddy

curl https://getcaddy.com | bash -s personal

Set up Caddy

mkdir -p /opt/caddy/logs/

mkdir -p /opt/caddy/store/

cp ~/speechconfigs/caddy/Caddyfile.speechsample ~/speechconfigs/caddy/Caddyfile

nano ~/speechconfigs/caddy/Caddyfile ( Change {{EXAMPLE.COM}} to YOURDOMAIN.COM )

cp ~/speechconfigs/caddy/Caddyfile /opt/caddy/

Set up Caddy to run as systemd service

cp ~/speechconfigs/caddy/caddy.service /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service

chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service

chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/caddy/

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/caddy

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl start caddy

systemctl status caddy

At this point, navigating to yourdomain.com should give you a 502 bad gateway error. That's good!

4 Set up MySql

Install MySql

sudo apt-get install mysql-server -y ( enter blank password each time ) sudo systemctl status mysql (q to exit)

Secure Setup

sudo mysql_secure_installation

• No to password validation
• Y to all other options
• password abcd1234

Login to mysql from root to complete setup:

mysql to enter mysql> console

mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'abcd1234';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Control+D to exit

Verify:

mysql -u root -p and then entering your password abcd1234 should give you the mysql> shell

5 Get Lbrynet Daemon

TODO: Enable something like sudo systemctl start lbrynet so it runs as www-data

Enter tmux

tmux

• Ctrl+b, d detaches leaving session running.
• ~# tmux, Ctrl+b, ( goes back to that session.

Get the daemon

wget -O ~/latest_daemon.zip https://lbry.io/get/lbrynet.linux.zip

unzip -o -u ~/latest_daemon.zip

Start the daemon

~# ./lbrynet start

Detatch tmux session

Control+b, then d to leave lbrynet daemon running and exit the session

tmux if you want to get back into tmux

Control+b, then ) in tmux to cycle back to your lbrynet session to see output

Display wallet address to which to send 5+ LBC.

These commands work when lbrynet start is already running in another tmux

./lbrynet commands to check out the current commands

./lbrynet address_list to get your wallet address

Ctrl + Shift + C after highlighting an address to copy.

Use a LBRY app or daemon to send LBC to the address. Sending LBC may take a few seconds or longer.

./lbrynet account_balance to check your balance after you've sent LBC.

6 Set up spee.ch

Clone speech either from your own fork, or from the lbryio/spee.ch repo.

Build it

cd spee.ch

~/spee.ch# npm install

cp ~/speechconfigs/speech/chainqueryConfig.json ~/spee.ch/site/config/chainqueryConfig.json

~/spee.ch# npm run configure (once your wallet balance has cleared) * DATABASE: lbry * USER NAME: root * PASSWORD: abcd1234 * PORT: 3000 * Site Title: Your Site Name * Enter your site's domain name: https://freezepeach.fun (this must include https://) * Enter a directory where uploads should be stored: (/home/lbry/Uploads)
