## Installation
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
### Dependencies
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
#### Build dependencies
2015-10-18 02:33:02 +00:00
2016-12-03 20:53:39 +00:00
A working Haskell capable environment. For that you will need `ghc` and
`cabal-install`, which you can install with:
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2015-10-14 22:53:22 +00:00
```bash
2016-12-03 20:53:39 +00:00
sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install
2015-10-14 22:53:22 +00:00
```
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
Now you can set up your cabal with `cabal update` and follow its instructions.
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
With this you will have also installed the latest GHC Haskell compiler on your
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
system.
2015-10-14 22:53:22 +00:00
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
Additionally to Haskell and its dependencies you will need the following
software and libraries:
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
* alex
* happy
2018-03-18 22:40:14 +00:00
* unzip
2016-01-05 01:26:20 +00:00
* libpq-dev
* postgresql
2016-05-08 22:09:39 +00:00
* libfftw3-dev
2016-12-03 15:42:22 +00:00
* npm
2016-12-03 16:16:13 +00:00
* nodejs-legacy
2017-10-31 09:01:26 +00:00
* libpoppler-glib-dev
* libcairo2-dev
2017-10-31 09:15:58 +00:00
* libgtk2.0-dev
2018-03-18 22:35:31 +00:00
* libmagic-dev
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
Which can be installed through
2015-10-14 22:53:22 +00:00
```bash
2018-03-18 22:40:14 +00:00
sudo apt-get install alex happy unzip libpq-dev postgresql npm nodejs-legacy libpoppler-glib-dev libcairo2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libfftw3-dev libmagic-dev
2016-12-03 15:42:22 +00:00
```
2016-12-03 16:16:13 +00:00
Additionally you need bower, purescript and pulp:
2016-12-03 15:42:22 +00:00
```bash
npm install -g bower
2016-12-03 16:16:13 +00:00
npm install -g purescript
npm install -g pulp
2015-10-14 22:53:22 +00:00
```
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
For migrations also install:
2016-11-20 06:50:23 +00:00
* libmagic-dev
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
#### Elasticsearch dependencies
2015-10-18 02:33:02 +00:00
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
**WARNING: THIS SECTION IS ONLY VALID FOR VERSIONS >= 0.0.5 and < 0.1.0.0**
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
Since version 0.0.5 there is an Elasticsearch integration for Eidolon. To Be
able to run eidolon , you need to install `elasticsearch` additionally with:
2015-10-18 02:33:02 +00:00
```bash
sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
```
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
On how to configure your elasticsearch server, look into the
[elasticsearch documentation][elasticdocu].

2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
### Building
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
Get the source with
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nek0/eidolon.git
```
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
Build your sandbox with
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
```bash
cabal sandbox init
```
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
Build the source with
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
```bash
2016-12-03 15:42:22 +00:00
make all
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
```
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
Everything should work automagically from there.
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
## Deploying
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
First you need to set up your database, which just needs to be created.
2017-10-20 17:05:30 +00:00
Additionally you connect to your database (with `psql` or similar) and activate
the `pg_trgm` extension to the database with
```sql
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
```
2016-03-02 13:59:28 +00:00
After compiling you will find an executable called `eidolon` in
2016-09-06 15:30:41 +00:00
`dist/build/eidolon/eidolon`. Copy or link it anywhere you
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
want. The executable needs to be accompanied by the folders `config` and
`static` and their contents. It's best to copy them to your desired destination.
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
Also check `config/settings.yml` and set the values there according to your
2016-09-09 19:41:22 +00:00
configuration. The field `contactEmail` is optional, you can comment it out, but
be aware. In certain jurisdictions you are required to give some contact
information.
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-11-01 23:40:56 +00:00
It may also be necessary to create a reverse proxy to your gallery. I would
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
recommend using [nginx](http://nginx.org/).
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
## Customizing
2015-01-18 01:55:49 +00:00
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
Unfortunately the gallery is not highly customizable, but you can change most of
2016-09-06 14:47:43 +00:00
its appearance by changing the files `static/css/main.css`. Especially the
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
default background image can be changed by replacing `static/css/img/bg.jpg`.
2015-01-18 01:55:49 +00:00
2017-03-10 18:01:09 +00:00
## Starting
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
You can start the gallery now by running the executable. You need to provide a
settings file as argument, normally found in `config/settings.yml`
2014-12-26 22:38:25 +00:00
2016-07-22 16:23:59 +00:00
Since eidolon will block your console, I recommend wrapping a init-script around
it. how you can do that is written in my
[blog](http://nek0.eu/posts/2014-10-23-Daemonize-a-yesod-app.html).
