(N.B: Things are reported not to work with newer versions.) This guide assumes, you have sudo, bash and an editor of your choice installed. Reserve around 2GB space for the jail. If you're using a different shell, use ``setenv`` to configure the environment variables set by ``export`` in this guide. Send feedback to `erdgeist `_. Many regards to `this guide `_, it helped me a lot. ---- Install Scala + Java ==================== Since etherpad does not build under the version of scala that is shipped with FreeBSD-8.2 (i.e. scala-2.8.0), we have to manually install scala-2.7.7. However, scala brings nice dependencies that help with the manual installation of the jdk. So we install scala-2.8.0 to get the dependencies, then deinstall it and install java and scala. * Fetch jdk here: ``_ * Fetch scala-2.7.7 here: ``_ Then type:: pkg_add -r scala pkg_delete -f scala\* pkg_add jdk-1.6.0.3p4_15.tbz scala-2.7.7.tbz ---- Install mysql, fastjar and java connector ========================================= Type:: pkg_add -r mysql55-server mysql-connector-java fastjar echo mysql_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start ---- Prepare mysql ============= Connection in a jail comes from the jail IP, not from 127.0.0.1, so enter IPADDRESS accordingly ``mysql -u root`` and in the mysql shell:: create database etherpad; grant all privileges on etherpad.* to 'etherpad'@'IPADDRESS' identified by 'MYSQLPASS_CHANGEME'; ---- Checkout etherpad ================= Type:: pkg_add -r git cd /usr/local git clone git://github.com/ether/pad.git known good commit 94d5b2dfd65abbee5a06d80d94cdb00a7947d9b1, otoh: you might want to check `my issue about this commit `_, overlay windows are broken atm. ---- Configure etherpad ================== Type:: cd /usr/local/pad/etherpad cp etc/etherpad.localdev-default.properties etc/etherpad.local.properties and in your ``etc/etherpad.local.properties`` do: * Change: devMode = false * Change: etherpad.isProduction = true * Change: etherpad.proAccounts = true * Change: etherpad.adminPass = ADMINPASS_CHANGEME * Change: etherpad.isProduction = true * Change: etherpad.SQL_PASSWORD = MYSQLPASS_CHANGEME * Change: listen = 0.0.0.0:9000 * Change: topdomains = pads.domain.tld,localhost * Change: customEmailAddress = admin@pads.domain.tld * Change: transportUseWildcardSubdomains = false * Change: useHttpsUrls = true Remember the passwords well, take special care about trailing spaces! Now setup your domain in the following files: * src/main.js * src/static/crossdomain.xml * src/etherpad/pro/pro_utils.js * src/etherpad/control/pad/pad_control.js * src/etherpad/control/global_pro_account_control.js To disable a per-pad quota, comment out the call to _checkPadQuota in src/etherpad/control/pad/pad_control.js ---- Rebuild the JAR =============== Type:: export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/" export JAVA="/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin/java" export SCALA="/usr/local/share/scala-2.7.7/bin/scala" export SCALA_HOME="/usr/local/share/scala-2.7.7/" export SCALA_LIBRARY_JAR="/usr/local/share/scala-2.7.7/lib/scala-library.jar" export PATH=/usr/local/share/scala-2.7.7/bin/:$PATH export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/local/share/java/classes/mysql-connector-java.jar" export mysql=mysql Rebuild the ace dependency -------------------------- This is especially important if you see this (google hint): ``net.appjet.bodylock.JSRuntimeException: Error: Neither module exists: etherpad.collab.ace.easysync2, etherpad.collab.ace.easysync2.``:: cd /usr/local/pad/infrastructure/ace bin/make normal etherpad Rebuild the JAR with correct settings ------------------------------------- Type:: cd /usr/local/pad/etherpad bin/rebuildjar.sh ---- Install nginx ============= Type:: cd /usr/ports/www/nginx make install clean and be sure to select HTTPS. ---- Create Self Signed Certificates =============================== For whatever your domain is, substitute it in the following commands:: openssl genrsa -out pads.domain.tld.key 1024 openssl req -new -key pads.domain.tld.key -out pads.domain.tld.csr echo "subjectAltName=DNS:pads.domain.tld,DNS:*.pads.domain.tld" >pads.domain.tld.conf openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in pads.domain.tld.csr -signkey pads.domain.tld.key -text -extfile pads.domain.tld.conf -out pads.domain.tld.crt cat pads.domain.tld.crt pads.domain.tld.key >/usr/local/etc/nginx/pads.domain.tld.pem ---- Configure nginx =============== Nginx configs were provided by cryx. Thank you. Fetch ``nginx.conf`` here: ``_ and put it to ``/usr/local/etc/nginx/``. Then in your local ``nginx.conf`` do: * Change: server_name pads.domain.tld \*.pads.domain.tld; take special care to include the wildcard subdomains * Change: ssl_certificate pads.domain.tld.pem; as created above Fetch ``nginx-etherpad.conf`` here: ``_ and put it to ``/usr/local/etc/nginx/``. Then in your local ``nginx-etherpad.conf`` do: * Change: server_name pads.domain.tld \*.pads.domain.tld; take special care to include the wildcard subdomains * Change: proxy_pass http://pads.domain.tld:9000/; Type:: mkdir /var/log/www/; chown www:www /var/log/www echo nginx_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf ---- Install start script ==================== Fetch rc script here: ``_ and put it to ``/usr/local/etc/rc.d/``. Type:: chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/etherpad echo etherpad_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf mkdir /var/run/etherpad; chown etherpad /var/run/etherpad chown -R etherpad:etherpad /usr/local/pad ---- Install openoffice ================== If you want to export word and pdf documents, you need to install openoffice and run it as a headless service. Fetch the libreoffice package here: http://wiki.bsdforen.de/anwendungen/libreoffice_aus_inoffiziellen_paketen#freebsd_amd64i386_87-stable_kamikaze or, a know working mirror for ``_, MD5 (libreoffice-3.3.3.tbz) = 028d259735b361e46af8a9e253f168a8.
