Installing AutoWeb

Requirements

Be sure to read the requirements hints before beginning.

Setup a blank Debian server with appropriate partitions.

Log into your server
Install the following packages: git python python3 python3-pip mariadb-server mariadb-client quota quotatool
Install Ansible from PIP: pip3 install ansible pymysql
Secure the MySQL installation with the command mysql_secure_installation
Edit /etc/fstab to add the following to the /data partition options (after the defaults defaults keyword): defaults,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0
Remount and enable quotas: mount -o remount /data && quotaon -a
Create Ansible MySQL user:
1. Login to MySQL prompt as root
2. Run CREATE USER ansible@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '...'; make sure to replace ...with a password.
3. Run GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'ansible'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Clone the repository to /opt, you should end up with a folder named /opt/autoweb containing two folders : interfaces et robot.
Copy /opt/autoweb/robot/data-exemple to /opt/autoweb/robot/data and edit the file according to your needs. The file is commented to help you change the values accordingly.
Finally, install the software by running the playbook: ansible-playbook /opt/autoweb/robot/install.yml

The initial AutoWeb interface setup is not (yet) automated.

In order to create the initla tables and admin user, execute the two SQL files located in /opt/autoweb/interface/lib.

You can now log into your web interface with the login admin and the password admin.

If The installation looks stuck with Jailkit configuration, install it manually: https://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/
