eb-gitea

Install a ready-to-use self-hosted Git service. Only AMD64 architecture is supported for this template. Please contact me if you need eb-gitea for an other architecture.

Main components of eb-gitea

• Gitea
• Git
• MariaDB
• Nginx

To install eb-gitea

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emrahcom/emrah-buster-base/master/installer/eb
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emrahcom/emrah-buster-templates/master/installer/eb-gitea.conf
bash eb eb-gitea

After installing eb-gitea

There is one more step to finish the installation. It's needed to fill the initial configuration form of Gitea. Only two fields will be changed: SSH Server Domain and Gitea Base URL.

Very easy!

• Access https://<IP_ADDRESS>/install to fill the Gitea config form.

• SSH Server Domain: Write your host FQDN or IP address. Examples:
  git.mydomain.com
  123.2.3.4

• Gitea Base URL: Write your URL. HTTP and HTTPS are OK. Examples:
  https://git.mydomain.com/
  https://123.2.3.4/

• Don't change the other fields. They are all OK.

• The first registered user will be the administrator.

Customizing eb-gitea

Edit /home/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini file and restart the service to customize Gitea. These are the customized settings of my private server. See cheat-sheet for more details.

• PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY = lower,upper,digit
• FORCE_PRIVATE = true
• DEFAULT_PRIVATE = true
• DISABLE_REGISTRATION = true
• REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = true
• DEFAULT_KEEP_EMAIL_PRIVATE = true
• [mailer] ENABLED = true
• [mailer] HOST = my-smtp-server.domain.com:587
• [mailer] FROM = [email protected]
• [mailer] USER = [email protected]
• [mailer] PASSWD = my-secret

eb-jitsi

Install a ready-to-use self-hosted Jitsi/Jibri service.

Thanks to Ave and Fatih for their support.

Main components of eb-jitsi

• Jitsi
• Jibri
• Nginx

Before installing eb-jitsi

• Jibri needs snd_aloop kernel module, therefore it's not OK with the cloud kernel. Install the standard Linux kernel first if this is the case.

• It's needed a resolvable host address for your server and this address has to point to your server. Therefore add the DNS A record first if you didn't add yet. This host address will be used as JITSI_HOST in the installer config file.

To install eb-jitsi

Download the installer

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emrahcom/emrah-buster-base/master/installer/eb
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emrahcom/emrah-buster-templates/master/installer/eb-jitsi.conf

Open eb-jitsi.conf file with an editor and change the JITSI_HOST value.

vim eb-jitsi.conf

Write the host address of your server as JITSI_HOST, save it and close the file.

export JITSI_HOST=jitsi.mydomain.com

And run the installer

bash eb eb-jitsi

Customizing eb-jitsi

You may want to change the following values in /etc/jitsi/meet/YOUR_HOST_ADDRESS-config.js. This file is on the eb-jitsi container, not on the host.

• startAudioMuted
• resolution
• startVideoMuted
• channelLastN
• requireDisplayName
• defaultLanguage
• disableAudioLevels

Jitsi cluster

See Jitsi cluster document

Let's Encrypt support

To set the Let's Encrypt certificate, run the following commands on the host:

FQDN="your.host.fqdn"
set-letsencrypt-cert $FQDN

Requirements

emrah-buster requires a Debian Buster (version 10) host with a minimal install and the Internet access during the installation. It's not a good idea to use your desktop machine or an already in-use production server as a host machine. Please, use one of the followings as a host:

• a cloud computer from a hosting/cloud service (DigitalOcean's droplet, Amazon EC2 instance etc)

• a virtual machine (VMware, VirtualBox etc)

• a Debian Buster container (with the nesting support)

  lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/nesting.conf
  lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined
  lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1
  

• a physical machine with a fresh installed Debian 10 Buster
