CentOS Installation
It's recommended to update all packages before proceeding.
sudo yum update
sudo yum upgrade
sudo reboot
Now install all dependencies.
sudo yum install xxxxxxx
replacing the x's with the list of packages.
Make sure redis is running before continuing:
systemctl enable redis.service
systemctl start redis.service
For security and permissions, it's highly recommended you create a user to install under who is not the root account.
sudo adduser allianceserver
sudo passwd allianceserver
This user needs sudo powers. Add them by editing the sudoers file:
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
Find the line which says root ALL=(ALL) ALL - beneath it add another line allianceserver ALL=(ALL) ALL - now reboot.
From this point on you need to be logged in as the allianceserver user
Start your mariadb server sudo systemctl start mariadb
Secure your MYSQL / Maria-db server by typing mysql_secure_installation
AllianceAuth needs a MySQL user account. Create one as follows, replacing PASSWORD with an actual secure password:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER 'allianceserver'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'allianceserver'@'localhost';
Now we need to make the requisite databases.
create database alliance_auth;
create database alliance_forum;
create database alliance_jabber;
create database alliance_mumble;
create database alliance_killboard;
Ensure you are in the allianceserver home directory by issuing cd
Now we clone the source code:
git clone https://github.com/allianceauth/allianceauth.git
Enter the folder by issuing cd allianceauth
Ensure you're on the latest version with the following:
git checkout v1.15.7
Python package dependencies can be installed from the requirements file:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
The settings file needs configuring. See this lengthy guide for specifics.
Django needs to install models to the database before it can start.
python manage.py migrate
AllianceAuth needs to generate corp and alliance models before it can assign users to them.
python manage.py shell < run_alliance_corp_update.py
Now we need to round up all the static files required to render templates. Answer ‘yes’ when prompted.
python manage.py collectstatic
Test the server by starting it manually.
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
If you see an error, stop, read it, and resolve it. If the server comes up and you can access it at yourip:8000, you're golden. It's ok to stop the server if you're going to be installing apache.
