Setting up our jackjoe server as dev machine

dev-setup.md

Dev machine setup

This sets up a dev machine to work on. It is setup with the following:

• Ubuntu (to get more cutting edge versions more easily)
• openVPN
• base packages (git, curl, ...)
• node
• Elixir/Erlang
• nginx
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• nvim
• termieter
• mkcert

Installation

Base is a Digital Ocean Ubuntu box (18.04). Always start with an update:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

openVPN

Based on this article. There was a bug when sourceing the openvpn vars file, inside it the backticks around the KEY_CONFIG variable where obsolote, deleting them got rid of the 'Permission denied' error:

export KEY_CONFIG=$EASY_RSA/openssl-1.0.0.cnf

NVIM

Termieter is installed and thus nvim is setup. But on debian there is no XDG_CONFIG_HOME set during installation.

This was then setup manually:

Create the config folder:

mkdir ~/.config

Add the env var to termieter:

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"

Web base

Add the default www folder and chmod it (could be a site in the ansible book?)

cd /var/www
mkdir chino.jackjoe.be/public
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data chino.jackjoe.be

Update the nginx config to have a set of upstreams ready at common ports (4444, 4040, 3000, 5050, 5555)

Also install elixir

wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
sudo apt-get install elixir

Obviously

Add Chino:

mkcert

On Linux, first install certutil.

sudo apt install libnss3-tools
    -or-
sudo yum install nss-tools
    -or-
sudo pacman -S nss

Then you can install using Linuxbrew

brew install mkcert
