Installation

You need an Ubuntu system for easiest setup. It should probably be a virtual machine hosted somewhere. First SSH to your server like this (or run it locally):

ssh -L 8443:127.0.0.1:443 -L 2368:127.0.0.1:2368 -L 4567:127.0.0.1:4567 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Replace the xxx's with your IP. The extra -L port forwarding flags are for gaining private access to the blog and forum for setting up admin passwords before making the site public.

Then set up Docker:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

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

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

Then set up the blog, forum and database:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/blog
sudo chown --reference ~ /opt/blog
chmod a+rX /opt/blog
cd /opt/blog
git clone https://github.com/charto/blog-setup.git .
sudo ./setup.sh

Finally, you can see it run:

• localhost:2368/blog/
• localhost:4567/forum/

Please see the blog post regarding finishing touches before making it public.
