You will need a server of your own, or you can rent a VPS server on any service you like. Minimum requirements for about 15 users are 2GB of RAM and a Linux Server. It is better if the server is dedicated as whole to Yotter as it will improve performance and security.

Everything that appears between `</>` needs to be changed by you. So for example if you see `<password>` you should change it for `weakDummyPassword` without keeping the `</>`.
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, you will need to set up a new user on the server. For security reasons you should never use a `root` user to set up a service. If you already have a non-root user you can use that one and skip the following steps.
|
||||
|
||||
We will create a user named `ubuntu` as I will be setting this up on an ubuntu machine. So, if you choose a different username make sure you replace it on future commands. We will create and login to the user as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ adduser --gecos "" ubuntu
|
||||
$ usermod -aG sudo ubuntu
|
||||
$ su ubuntu
|
||||
# adduser --gecos "" ubuntu
|
||||
# usermod -aG sudo ubuntu
|
||||
# su ubuntu
|
||||
$ cd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you now type `pwd` and hit enter, you shuould see that the current path is `/home/<user>/`
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should be logged in. Make sure to set up a good password. It is recommended to use ssh keys to log-in remotelly and disable the password login on all users.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Base setup
|
||||
1. Connect to your server via SSH or direct access.
|
||||
- `ssh ubuntu@<ipaddress>`
|
||||
- [x] (Recommended) Set up password-less login with ssh-keys.

SECRET_KEY=<RandomString>
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=mysql+pymysql://yotter:<db-password>@localhost:3306/yotter
|
||||
```
|
||||
Make sure you change `<RandomString>` and `>db-password>`. `<db-password>` should be different from the password of the database root user (the one you set up on step 1.2). This password will be needed later.
|
||||
Make sure you change `<RandomString>` for the previously generated random string. You can paste it as is, without any `"" or ''`. Also change `<db-password>`. `<db-password>` should be different from the password of the database root user (the one you set up on step 1.2). This password will be needed later.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Setting up the MySQL Database:
|
||||
* Open the MySQL prompt line (Use the previously set MySQL root password!)
|
||||
`mysql -u root -p`
|
||||
|
||||
> If you have problems with the root password try running `sudo mysql` and then run this query: `ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';`. This changes the password for the user `root` by `YOUR_PASSWORD`
|
||||
> Note that you are being prompted for the password of the MySQL root user, the one you set up on step 1.2, not the password you wrote on the `.env` file. The password on the `.env` is the password for the MySQL Yotter database.
|
||||
|
||||
> If you still have problems with the root user password try running `sudo mysql` and then run this query: `ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<YOUR_PASSWORD>';`. This changes the password for the MySQL user `root` by `<YOUR_PASSWORD>`
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should be on the MySQL prompt line (`mysql>`). So let's create the databases:

* Run `sudo service nginx reload`
|
||||
You will also need to change the `</path/to>` after `alias` to fit your system. You have to point to the Yotter folder, in this set up it would be `/home/ubuntu` as it is the location where we cloned the Yotter app. This alias is created to handle static files directly, without forwarding to the application.
|

Once done, you can run `sudo service nginx reload`

Now you need to install an SSL certificate on your server so you can use HTTPS:
