- Installation
- 1. Get the source
- Get the source code by running
- $ git clone https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat
- You can also download the latest source tarball from the URL
- "https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/snapshot/bloat-master.tar.gz"
- 2. Build and install
- Install GO from your system's package manager or from https://golang.org/dl.
- Then run make to compile the source.
- $ make
- # make install
- This will perform a system wide installation of bloat. By default, it will
- install the binary in /usr/local/bin and data files in /usr/local/share/bloat.
- You can change these paths by editing the Makefile.
- 3. Edit the config file
- bloat looks for a file named bloat.conf in the working directory and
- /etc/bloat in that order. You can also specify another file by using the -f
- flag. Comments in the config file describe what each config value does. For
- most cases, you only need to change the value of "client_website".
- # $EDITOR /etc/bloat.conf
- 4. Create database directory
- Create a directory to store session information. Optionally, create a user
- to run bloat and change the ownership of the database directory accordingly.
- # mkdir /var/bloat
- # useradd _bloat
- # chown -R _bloat:_bloat /var/bloat
- Replace /var/bloat with the value you specified in the config file.
- 5. Run the binary
- # su _bloat -c bloat
- Now you should create an init script to automatically start bloat at system
- startup.
- Update
- Either run git pull to fetch the updated source or download the latest tarball
- from the URL mentioned in the installation step. Then run make to install the
- updated binary and data files
- $ git pull
- $ make
- # make install
- Note: Commands starting with # are to be is to run as root.
