From scratch updates2023 06 30 (#241)

Browse source 
* reference Ubuntu 22.04, Lemmy 0.18.0, move RUST_LOG to correct service

* Build lemmy_server from github checkout

* fix sudo to be consistent with earlier example, update versions to 0.18.2

* use sudo more where needed, discuss non-privileged account for rustup and cargo compile, upgrade for lemmy_server uses git

* fix typo 'normal', be more explicit about how to upgrade already-running lemmy_server binary

* upgrade lemmy_server refinement

* prettier

# From Scratch
These instructions are written for Ubuntu 20.04.
These instructions are written for Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 22.04.
## Installation
### Lemmy Backend
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.
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 or Ansible install methods.
Install Rust by following the instructions on [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
For the Rust compiles, it is ideal to use a non-privledged Linux account on your system.
Install Rust by following the instructions on [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/) (using a non-privledged Linux account, it will install file in that user's home folder for rustup and cargo).
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. **NOTE: Lemmy-ui will still allow users to attempt uploading images even if pict-rs is not configured, in this situation, the upload will fail and users will receive technical error messages.**
Depending on preference, pict-rs can be installed as a standalone application, or it can be embedded within Lemmy itself (see below). In both cases, 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
sudo apt install ffmpeg exiftool libgexiv2-dev --no-install-recommends
# save the file to a working folder it can be verified before copying to /usr/bin/
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
sudo mv magick /usr/bin/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/magick
```
Compile and install Lemmy, setup database:
Install dependencies and setup database:
```bash
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.
# 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 apt install pkg-config libssl-dev libpq-dev postgresql
# replace db-passwd with a unique password of your choice
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE USER lemmy WITH PASSWORD 'db-passwd';"
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE lemmy WITH OWNER lemmy;"
adduser lemmy --system --disabled-login --no-create-home --group
# NOTE: this may be required by migration, depending on version of Lemmy
# sudo -iu postgres psql -c "ALTER USER lemmy WITH SUPERUSER;"
# create user account on Linux for the lemmy_server application
sudo adduser lemmy --system --disabled-login --no-create-home --group
```

Compile and install Lemmy, given the from-scratch intention, this will be done via GitHub checkout. This can be done by a normal unprivledged user (using the same Linux account you used for rustup).
```bash
# protobuf-compiler may be required for Ubuntu 22.04.2 installs, please report testing in lemmy-docs issues
sudo apt install protobuf-compiler
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy.git lemmy
cd lemmy
git checkout 0.18.2
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive --remote
echo "pub const VERSION: &str = \"$(git describe --tag)\";" > "crates/utils/src/version.rs"
# These instructions assume you build pictrs independent, but it is
# OPTIONAL on next command: --features embed-pictrs
cargo build --release
# copy compiled binary to destination
sudo cp target/release/lemmy_server /usr/bin/lemmy_server

### Lemmy
Compile and install lemmy_server changes. This compile can be done by a normal unprivledged user (using the same Linux account you used for rustup and first install of Lemmy).
```bash
# installs latest release, you can also specify one with --version
cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --features embed-pictrs
systemctl restart lemmy
rustup update
cd lemmy
git checkout main
git pull --tags
git checkout 0.18.2 # replace with version you are updating to
git submodule update --recursive --remote
echo "pub const VERSION: &str = \"$(git describe --tag)\";" > "crates/utils/src/version.rs"
# These instructions assume you build pictrs independent, but it is
# OPTIONAL on next command: --features embed-pictrs
cargo build --release
# copy compiled binary to destination
# the old file will be locked by the already running application, so this sequence is recommended:
sudo -- sh -c 'systemctl stop lemmy && cp target/release/lemmy_server /usr/bin/lemmy_server && systemctl start lemmy'
```
### Lemmy UI
```bash
cd /var/lib/lemmy-ui
sudo -u lemmy
sudo -u lemmy bash
git checkout main
git pull --tags
git checkout 0.12.2 # replace with the version you want to install
git checkout 0.18.2 # replace with the version you are updating to
git submodule update
yarn install --pure-lockfile
