Så här installerade jag firefish!

1. Install dependencies

Make sure that you can use the sudo command before proceeding.

Utilities

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential python3 curl wget git lsb-release

Node.js and pnpm

Instructions can be found at this repository.

NODE_MAJOR=20
curl -fsSL "https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_${NODE_MAJOR}.x" | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs

# check version
node --version

You also need to enable pnpm.

sudo corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

# check version
pnpm --version

PostgreSQL and PGroonga

PostgreSQL install instructions can be found at this page.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql-16

sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

# check version
psql --version

PGroonga install instructions can be found at this page.

wget "https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/$(lsb_release --id --short | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')/apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb"
sudo apt install "./apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb"
wget "https://packages.groonga.org/debian/groonga-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb"
sudo apt install "./groonga-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql-16-pgdg-pgroonga

rm "apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb" "groonga-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb"

Redis

Instructions can be found at this page.

curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis

sudo systemctl enable --now redis-server

# check version
redis-cli --version

FFmpeg

sudo apt install ffmpeg

2. Set up a database

  1. If you forgot the password you typed, you can reset it by executing sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER firefish PASSWORD 'password';".

Create a database

sudo -u postgres createdb --encoding='UTF8' --owner=firefish firefish_db

Create a database user

sudo -u postgres createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser --encrypted --pwprompt firefish

Enable PGronnga extension

sudo -u postgres psql --command='CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga;' --dbname=firefish_db

3. Configure Firefish

Create an user for Firefish and switch user

sudo useradd --create-home --user-group --shell /bin/bash firefish
sudo su --login firefish

# check the current working directory
# the result should be /home/firefish
pwd

Install Rust toolchain

Instructions can be found at this page.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
. "${HOME}/.cargo/env"

# check version
cargo --version

Clone the Firefish repository

git clone --branch=main https://git.hinasense.jp/hinanoaira/firefish

Copy and edit the config file

cd firefish
cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml
nano .config/default.yml
url: https://your-server-domain.example.com  # change here
port: 3000

db:
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  db: firefish_db
  user: firefish
  pass: your-database-password  # and here

4. Build Firefish

Build

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
NODE_ENV=production NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=3072' pnpm run build

Execute database migrations

pnpm run migrate

Logout from firefish user

exit

5. Preparation for publishing a server

1. Set up a firewall

To expose your server securely, you may want to set up a firewall. We use ufw in this instruction.

sudo apt install ufw
# if you use SSH
# SSH_PORT=22
# sudo ufw limit "${SSH_PORT}/tcp"
sudo ufw default deny
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443
sudo ufw --force enable

# check status
sudo ufw status

2. Set up a reverse proxy

In this instruction, we use Caddy to make the Firefish server accesible from internet. However, you can also use Nginx if you want (example Nginx config file).

Install Caddy

sudo apt install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install caddy

# check version
caddy version

Replace the config file

sudo mv /etc/caddy/Caddyfile /etc/caddy/Caddyfile.bak
sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
your-server-domain.example.com {
	reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:3000

	log {
		output file /var/log/caddy/firefish.log
	}
}

Restart Caddy

sudo systemctl restart caddy

6. Publish your Firefish server

Create a service file

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/firefish.service
[Unit]
Description=Firefish daemon
Requires=redis.service caddy.service postgresql.service
After=redis.service caddy.service postgresql.service network-online.target

Start Firefish

sudo systemctl enable --now firefish
