Fosscord

-### Notice: **DO NOT** ask for support regarding Slowcord in the Fosscord support server. - -This branch hosts the source for [Slowcord](https://slowcord.understars.dev). It is *vastly* different than standard Fosscord, with many new features, bug fixes and improvements. - -If you would like to host Slowcord yourself, you should know: -* **You will not receive support**. I am a university student, who works on this in my free time because it's fun. What is not fun is helping people with the same 5 problems. -* **Slowcord is configured in a very specific way**. There exists parts of the codebase which assume things about your system's configuration which may not be documented here. You **will** need to edit things here to get them to work. -* **There is no voice/video server, and no admin dashboard** yet. There do not exist on any Fosscord instance. - -Alright, now onto the guide. -# The Guide - -The guide assumes: -* You're using Ubuntu -* You've got a domain name, and you are NOT using ngrok, cloudflare tunnels, hamachi. -* With said domain name, you've got DNS records pointing it to your server - -## Automatic Installation -[Haydaralqassam](https://github.com/haydaralqassam) has created an automatic install script, which basically performs the below guide for you, available [here](https://gist.github.com/haydaralqassam/abdfe619b812d88186cd77802280731e), or by running the below command -``` -wget -qO- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/haydaralqassam/abdfe619b812d88186cd77802280731e/raw/292fdc8e486d8ef0d5763b89fa03e9c6a907b3a7/install.sh | bash -``` - -I, personally, make no guarantees that the above method will work for every user or setup. If you run into issues, you may want to manually go through the below guide instead. - -## Manual Installation - -### Installing Slowcord - -```sh -# deps make, git, gcc, g++, etc -sudo apt install build-essential - -# deps for canvas npm package -sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev -``` - -You also need Node, at least version 16. Just go with the latest. It's easiest if you use [node version manager](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm). - -Now to install Slowcord: -```sh -# TODO: once `slowcord-refactor` has been merged into `slowcord`, replace this line. -git clone -b slowcord-refactor https://github.com/MaddyUnderStars/fosscord-server.git -cd fosscord-server -npm i -npm run build - -# you may now use this last command to start the server -npm run start -``` - -You should probably run the start command in a `screen`, or with systemd, instead. - -### Installing Nginx, getting an SSL cert -```sh -sudo apt install nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx -``` - -Copy the file at `fosscord-server/src-slowcord/nginx/fosscord` to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/fosscord` and edit it how you see fit. That is: -* Edit the `server_name` -* If you're not using the Slowcord login server, remove the `location` block related to it -* Remove the Slowcord SSL cert stuff, you'll generate your own later. -* Also edit the `$host = whatever` line at the bottom., and the server name in that block. - -Now, generate an SSL cert with certbot: -```sh -certbot --nginx -``` -It'll ask you a bunch of questions, generate a cert, and edit your config to match. -You may need to run `sudo systemctl restart nginx`. - -At this point, you can probably start Slowcord using `npm run start` in the project root. - -### Configuration -Almost all config is done through the `config` table of your database. The values are either self explainatory, or have documentation on https://docs.fosscord.com. Slowcord's config provides sane defaults for most things, but you may want to edit: -* `cdn_endpointPublic`: The CDN url given to clients. Change this to your domain. Protocol is `https`, assuming you've got SSL. -* `gateway_endpointPublic` See above, but for the gateway. Protocol is `wss`, with SSL. -* `security_defaultRights` The default rights value is discord.com-like by default. Check the fosscord docs for info about rights. -* `guild_defaultFeatures_X` The default features of a guild. Used to grant premium features to all guilds on Slowcord. You may want to do the same. [List of guild features](https://gist.github.com/Techy/ecc60b12e94f8fc8185f09b82aa91dd2). This value is an array, `X` is a number, starting a `0`. -* `security_captcha_enabled`, and related values. - -The `.env` file in the project root doesn't have any defaults, but I recommend you use this: -``` -THREADS=1 -DATABASE=YOUR DATABASE CONNECTION STRING. -``` - -Not providing a `DATABASE` will set Slowcord to use SQlite, which is not very performant at scale. I recommend Mariadb or Postgresql, as they are quite well-used in the Fosscord community. - -### Some useful scripts -* `npm run generate:client`. Downloads the full Discord.com web client and patches it. Edit the script to change what the patches do, such as changing `Discord` -> `Slowcord` and removing Nitro references. -* `npm run generate:rights`. Shows all-rights values and Discord.com-like rights values. -* `npm run generate:schema`. Generates a new `assets/schemas.json` file. If you edit any schemas, you will need to rerun this. - -### Slowcord additional services -If you want to run the login server for Discord oauth, use the bot, or use the status reporting service? Just look around in the repo. It's 10:30pm, I'm too tired. Theres example .env files, and you can always look at the codebase to see what they do. They're pretty self explanatory though. - -Thanks. \ No newline at end of file +This branch is for MaddyUnderStars' refactor of Fosscord. This is not ready for production use. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit 1.4.1
