Installation

This installation guide covers installing the requirments, if you already have the requirements skip to step Step 3 - Nginx Configuration.

The installation guide uses Ubuntu (Linux) as the method of installation as The Bot Portfolio can run smoother and more efficient on a Linux system.

Step 1 - Installing a LEMP stack

This step will cover installing most of the requirements needed to operate The Bot Portfolio. We used this guide as reference.

This step is a quick run through of the installation. For detailed steps view the referenced guide.

Ensure your system is up to date and install Nginx

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

Install MySQL Server

sudo apt install mysql-server

Setup your SQL server

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 2 - Installing Node & NPM

View this guide for further detail.

Run the below commanmds by themselves and not together

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm

Step 3 - Nginx Configuration

As The Bot Portfolio uses Node.Js to operate we need a proxy in Nginx so we can direct it to the webserver. In your Nginx confiuration file; /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

server {
    
  server_name example.com; # Change domain to yours
    
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; # Change the port if needed
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  }    
}

Now restart Nginx

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Once saved use certbot to create an SSL.

Run below commands one by one. From this guide.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt install python-certbot-nginx

sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com

Then pick the second option (2) to ensure everything is redirected to HTTPS.

Run sudo certbot renew --dry-run to make sure your SSL auto-renews.

Step 4 - Installing packages.

Extract your copy of The Bot Portfolio to /home/botportfolio.

Now in a screen session navigate to your Bot Portfolio directory with the CD command.

cd /home/botportfolio`

Install the packages required to run The Bot Portfolio

npm i
