How to install your own server (Ubuntu)

1. Install a linux, e.g. Ubuntu
2. Install git sudo apt install git
3. Install nginx sudo apt install nginx
4. Install supervisorctl sudo apt install supervisor
5. Download and unzip mogp model: https://fraenkel.mit.edu/mogp/
6. Download and install miniforge
   • curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
   • bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh
   • MINICONDA_DIR=~/miniforge3
   • ${MINICONDA_DIR}/bin/conda init
   • Logout and login again
   • conda activate alstracker
   • pip install alstracker
7. Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/MPI-Dortmund/ALSTracker
8. cd ALSTracker
9. Create a new conda environment
   • conda env create -f ./conda.yaml
10. Adjust the variables XXX_RUN_DIR_XXX, XXX_MINIFORGE_XXX, XXX_USER_XXX, XXX_GROUP_XXX, XXX_MOGP_PKL_XXX based on the decisions in the previous steps in gunicorn_start.sh
11. Adjust the command, stdout_logfile, user variables in als_tracker.conf.template
12. Copy or link the als_tracker.conf.template to /etc/supervisor/conf.d
    • sudo ln -s $(realpath als_tracker.conf.template) /etc/supervisor/conf.d/als_tracker.conf
13. Start the tracker
    • sudo supervisorctl start als_tracker
14. Adjust the variables XXX_RUN_DIR_XXX, XXX_LOG_DIR_XXX, XXX_SERVERNAME_XXX in the nginx.template
    • Make sure that the XXX_LOG_DIR_XXX directory is writable for the www-data group. For example if you chose a directory in your home directory, make sure to allow r/w to the www-data group. (e.g. sudo chgrp www-data .)
15. Copy or link the nginx.template to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
    • sudo ln -s $(realpath nginx.template) /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/als_tracker.site
16. Get a certificate for the SERVERNAME (This should alter your als_tracker.site file)
    • sudo snap install certbot --classic
    • sudo certbot --nginx
17. Restart nginx
    • sudo systemctl restart nginx
