|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Rust 1.56+ (when building from source)
|
|
- PostgreSQL 12+
|
|
- IPFS node (optional, see [guide](./docs/ipfs.md))
|
|
- Ethereum node (optional)
|
|
- Monero node and Monero wallet (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Building from source
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo build --release --features production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will produce two binaries in `target/release` directory, `mitra` and `mitractl`.
|
|
|
|
Install PostgreSQL and create the database:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE USER mitra WITH PASSWORD 'mitra';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE mitra OWNER mitra;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create configuration file by copying `contrib/mitra_config.yaml` and configure the instance. Default config file path is `/etc/mitra/config.yaml`, but it can be changed using `CONFIG_PATH` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Put any static files into the directory specified in configuration file. Building instructions for `mitra-web` frontend can be found at https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web#project-setup.
|
|
|
|
Start Mitra:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./mitra
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An HTTP server will be needed to handle HTTPS requests. See the example of [nginx configuration file](./contrib/mitra.nginx).
|
|
|
|
To run Mitra as a systemd service, check out the [systemd unit file example](./contrib/mitra.service).
|
|
|
|
### Debian package
|
|
|
|
Download and install Mitra package:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dpkg -i mitra.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install PostgreSQL and create the database:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE USER mitra WITH PASSWORD 'mitra';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE mitra OWNER mitra;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open configuration file `/etc/mitra/config.yaml` and configure the instance.
|
|
|
|
Start Mitra:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
systemctl start mitra
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An HTTP server will be needed to handle HTTPS requests. See the example of [nginx configuration file](./contrib/mitra.nginx).
|
|
|
|
### Monero
|
|
|
|
Install Monero node or choose a [public one](https://monero.fail/).
|
|
|
|
Configure and start [monero-wallet-rpc](https://monerodocs.org/interacting/monero-wallet-rpc-reference/) daemon. Add `disable-rpc-login=1` to your `monero-wallet-rpc` config (currently RPC auth is not supported in Mitra).
|
|
|
|
Create a wallet for your instance.
|
|
|
|
Add blockchain configuration to `blockchains` array in your configuration file.
|
|
|
|
### Ethereum
|
|
|
|
Install Ethereum client or choose a JSON-RPC API provider.
|
|
|
|
Deploy contracts on the blockchain. Instructions can be found at https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-contracts.
|
|
|
|
Add blockchain configuration to `blockchains` array in your configuration file.
