|
| 5 |
0) Prerequisite
|
| 6 |
Follow README.md under [leafok_bbs](https://github.com/leafok/leafok_bbs) to initialize the database structure shared by both web version and telnet version.
|
| 7 |
It is highly recommended to finish the configuration steps of web version first and make sure those features could work properly.
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1) Common requirements
|
| 10 |
gcc >= 14.2
|
| 11 |
autoconf >= 2.68

|
| 15 |
php >= 8.2
|
| 16 |
mysql >= 8.4
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3) Extract the source files from a tarball or export from GitHub
|
| 19 |
Run the following command to set up the autoconf/automake environment,
|
| 20 |
autoreconf --install --force
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
4) Compile source files
|
| 23 |
export LBBS_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/lbbs
|
| 24 |
./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR
|
| 25 |
make
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
5) Create user and group
|
| 28 |
sudo useradd bbs
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
6) Install binary files and data files
|
| 31 |
sudo make install
|
| 32 |
chown -R bbs:bbs $LBBS_HOME_DIR
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
7) Modify following configuration files
|
| 35 |
Default configuration files is saved as *.default, you should rename them first.
|
| 36 |
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/bbsd.conf
|
| 37 |
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/badwords.conf
|
| 38 |
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/conf/db_conn.conf.php
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
8) Generate menu configuration file with section data by running the script
|
| 41 |
sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_section_menu.php
|
| 42 |
sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_ex_list.php
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
9) Create SSH2 RSA certificate
|
| 45 |
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Your Server Name" -f $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/ssh_host_rsa_key
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
10) Startup
|
| 48 |
sudo -u bbs $LBBS_HOME_DIR/bin/bbsd
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
11) (Optional) Set up systemd
|
| 51 |
Enable systemd related feature during config, by running:
|
| 52 |
./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --enable-systemd
|
| 53 |
Create your own /usr/lib/systemd/system/lbbs.service from the sample at conf/lbbs.service, and make any change if necessary.
|
| 54 |
Reload daemon config and start the service.
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
12) (Optional) Set up logrotate
|
| 57 |
Create your own /etc/logrotate.d/lbbs from the sample at conf/lbbs.logrotate, and make any change if necessary.
|
| 58 |
Restart logrotate service.
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
13) Cleanup on abnormal service termination
|
| 61 |
In case of any unexpected failure or improper operation which results in abnormal termination of lbbs process, manual cleanup of shared memory / semaphore might be required before re-launch the process. Run the following command to check first:
|
| 62 |
sudo -u bbs ipcs
|
| 63 |
There should be no item owned by bbs. Otherwise, run the following command to cleanup:
|
| 64 |
sudo -u bbs ipcrm -a
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
For Cygwin User
|
| 68 |
==================
|
| 69 |
Installation of LBBS on Cygwin is similar to the above steps for Linux, except that:
|
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
a. Use additional config switches to keep compatible with the Cygwin environment.
|
| 72 |
./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --with-mariadb --without-epoll
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
b. Enable Cygserver with optimized parameters (as large as possible) of XSI semaphore and shared memory in /etc/cygserver.conf
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
c. Skip those steps not supported by Cygwin (e.g. systemd and logrotate).
