EZ Lorea Node Repository

# #

Introduction

The lorea-node repository aims at providing a zero-click setup of a fully functional Elgg installation with the Lorea additions:

SSL support out of the box
The Lorea Framework: a set of Elgg plugins to add social network federation support with privacy in mind, such as
- OStatus protocols for federation support
- GPG-encrypted groups communication
- TLS-only XMPP Server integration
- More…
Desktop integration: scripts and tools to integrate with FreeDesktop.org
- tray applet with drag’n’drop file upload capability and site notifications
An extensible lorea command for CLI

Installation

Get the bootstrap-lorea script and run it on your Debian-based system.

# Ewww vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
wget --no-check-certificate -q -O- \
    https://github.com/lorea/lorea-node/raw/master/bin/bootstrap-lorea | bash

Or clone the repository and run the script from lorea-node/bin/.

git clone https://github.com/lorea/lorea-node.git
./lorea-node/bin/bootstrap-lorea

Requirements

A Debian-based system
sudo privilege

Usage

Once installed, the lorea command will provide an interface to manage the Elgg installation, the Lorea toolset and the nodes themselves.

To create a new node interactively, run lorea node new. The interface is a bit raw but you want to at least:

set 2 LOREA_HOST to the domain of your node (can be anything for a local node, e.g. for testing or development.)
set 4 DB_NAME to the database name you want to use
set 7 DB_PASS to the database user password
set 8 DB_ROOT to the database root password
