@ -8,14 +8,30 @@ These instructions are written for Ubuntu 20.04.
It is built from source, so this may take a while, especially on slow devices. For example, Lemmy v0.12.2 takes 17 minutes to build on a dual core VPS. If you prefer prebuilt binaries, use Docker.
Install Rust by following the instructions on [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
Lemmy supports image hosting using [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/). We need to install a couple of dependencies for this. You can also skip these steps if you don't require image hosting.
Pict-rs requires the `magick` command which comes with Imagemagick version 7, but Ubuntu 20.04 only comes with Imagemagick 6. So you need to install that command manually, eg from the [official website](https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#linux).
```bash
apt install ffmpeg exiftool libgexiv2-dev --no-install-recommends
wget https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/binaries/magick
# compare hash with the "message digest" on the official page linked above
sha256sum magick
mv magick /usr/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/bin/magick
```
Compile and install Lemmy, setup database:
```bash
apt install pkg-config libssl-dev libpq-dev cargo postgresql
apt install pkg-config libssl-dev libpq-dev postgresql
# installs latest release, you can also specify one with --version
# The --locked argument uses the exact versions of dependencies specified in
# `cargo.lock`at release time. Running it without the flag will use newer minor
# release versions of those dependencies, which are not always guaranteed to compile.
cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked
# Remove the parameter `--features embed-pictrs` if you don't require image hosting.
cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs
# replace db-passwd with a randomly generated password
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE USER lemmy WITH PASSWORD 'db-passwd';"

If you did everything right, the Lemmy logs from `journalctl -u lemmy` should show "Starting http server at 127.0.0.1:8536". You can also run `curl localhost:8536/api/{version}/site` which should give a successful response, looking like `{"site_view":null,"admins":[],"banned":[],"online":0,"version":"unknown version","my_user":null,"federated_instances":null}`.

For pict-rs, run `curl 127.0.0.1:8080` and ensure that it outputs nothing (particularly no errors).

Now open your Lemmy domain in the browser, and it should show you a configuration screen. Use it to create the first admin user and the default community.
### Pict-rs (for image hosting, optional)
Pict-rs requires a newer Rust version than the one available in Ubuntu 20.04 repos. So you need to install [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/) which installs the toolchain for you.
```bash
apt install ffmpeg exiftool libgexiv2-dev --no-install-recommends
adduser pictrs --system --disabled-login --no-create-home --group
mkdir /var/lib/pictrs-source
cd /var/lib/pictrs
git clone https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs.git .
# check docker-compose.yml for pict-rs version used by lemmy
# https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml#L40
git checkout v0.2.6-r2
# or simply add the bin folder to your $PATH
$HOME/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release
cp target/release/pict-rs /usr/bin/
# create folder to store image data
mkdir /var/lib/pictrs
chown pictrs:pictrs /var/lib/pictrs
```
Pict-rs requires the `magick` command which comes with Imagemagick version 7, but Ubuntu 20.04 only comes with Imagemagick 6. So you need to install that command manually, eg from the [official website](https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#linux).
```
wget https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/binaries/magick
# compare hash with the "message digest" on the official page linked above
sha256sum magick
mv magick /usr/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/bin/magick
```
Just like before, place the config below in `/etc/systemd/system/pictrs.service`, then run `systemctl enable pictrs` and `systemctl start pictrs`.
```
[Unit]
Description=pict-rs - A simple image host
After=network.target
[Service]
User=pictrs
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pict-rs
Environment=PICTRS_PATH=/var/lib/pictrs
Environment=PICTRS_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8080
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
If it is working correctly, `curl 127.0.0.1:8080` should output nothing (particularly no errors).
Now add the line `pictrs_url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080"` to `/etc/lemmy/lemmy.hjson` so that Lemmy knows how to reach Pict-rs. Then restart Lemmy with `systemctl restart lemmy`, and image uploads should be working.
## Upgrading
### Lemmy
```bash
# installs latest release, you can also specify one with --version
cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/
cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --features embed-pictrs
systemctl restart lemmy
```
