How to install Plume on a Debian stretch:

Basic setup:

apt update
apt install gettext postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
adduser plume
su - plume
cd /home/plume
git clone https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume.git
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh 
cd Plume
rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup toolchain default nightly
rustup update
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres # we dont need to compile anything else than pgsql

Now, if you want to run postgresql on the same server:

service postgresql start
cargo run # this will configure and launch Plume on the server.

If you want to run Plume with a remote DB this time ( Postgresql is not installed on the same server/container):

  • On the DB server:
service postgresql start
su - postgres
createuser -d -P plume
createdb -O plume plume
  • On the Plume server:
cd /home/plume/Plume
diesel migration run --database-url postgres://plume:PASSWORD@DBSERVERIP:DBPORT/plume
DB_URL=postgres://plume:PASSWORD@DBSERVERIP:DBPORT/plume cargo run # the first launch will ask questions to configure the instance. A second launch will not need the DB_URL.

Plume is now accessible as seen on your console. You can have fun now, or configure an nginx proxy with the following excerpt:

location / {
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

    proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;

    client_max_body_size 16m;
}

Caveats:

  • Pgbouncer is not yet supported ( named transactions are used ).

  • Rust nightly is a moving target, dependancies can break and sometimes you need to check a few versions to find the one working.

cd /home/plume/Plume
rustup override set nightly-2018-05-15 # this could be needed for compilation. If errors, try 2018-05-31.
# rustup override unset # remove the override for this directory.
  • Rust nightly 2018-06-28 is known to be failing to compile diesel 1.3.2
