Requirements

• Hosting with a public IP address
• make sure you have a working DNS hostname that points to your public IP address.
• an email address (LetsEncrypt requires this)
• We recommend you have at least 4GB of free disk space and 512mb of ram (it may runs with less but use at your own risk)

Installation

1. Install docker (debian)

for non-debian-based installation instructions of Docker: https://docs.docker.com/v17.12/install/#server

Use this guide for additional troubleshooting help: https://docs.docker.com/v17.12/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/#set-up-the-repository or https://docs.docker.com/v17.12/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

remove any possibly previously installed docker installations

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

install official docker repo

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common

For Debian

• sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

For Ubuntu

• curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
• sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

install and test docker

• apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install docker-ce
• To check to make sure it's all working: docker run hello-world

2. Install docker-compose

create docker-compose script

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

make sure it's executable

chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

3. Install SOGS

• git clone https://github.com/loki-project/session-open-group-server.git

install SOGS git submodules

• cd session-open-group-server
• git submodule init

make sure permissions on acme.json is correct

start it

Replace your@email.tld with your email address and yourssl.domain.tld with your public facing hostname. These are required for getting an SSL certification from LetsEncrypt which we will attempt to automatically do for you.

EMAIL=your@email.tld DOMAIN=yourssl.domain.tld docker-compose up -d

Upgrade instruction

• make sure you're in the loki-messenger-public-server directory
• EMAIL=your@email.tld DOMAIN=yourssl.domain.tld docker-compose down to stop it from running
• git pull to grab the latest source and configs
• git submodule init to grab any submodule changes
• git submodule update to grab any platform/nodepomf changes
• EMAIL=your@email.tld DOMAIN=yourssl.domain.tld docker-compose build to update the local docker images
