Setup in production

You'll need a redis server and a couchdb server as databases.

Install nodejs (we try to follow the current version so don't use your default distrib package manager) -> https://nodejs.org/

On your server, create a service user : adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --disabled-password --home /home/secretin secretin

Download the last release (dist.tar.gz) https://github.com/secretin/secretin-server/releases and extract the tar.gz

cd dist && npm install --production

Install forever globally : npm install -g forever

Add this script in /etc/init.d/secretin

#! /bin/sh -e

DAEMON_DIR="/home/secretin/dist/"
DAEMON_LOGDIR="/home/secretin/"
DAEMON_UID="secretin"
DAEMON_NAME="secretin"
REDIS_URL="redis://anonymous@your-redis-server:6379"
COUCHDB_HOST="your-couchdb-server"
COUCHDB_DBNAME="secretin"
COUCHDB_USER="user"
COUCHDB_PASS="pass"
BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY=0

case "$1" in
  start)
  echo "Starting $DAEMON_NAME..."
  sudo -H -u secretin BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY=$BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY SECRETIN_SERVER_COUCHDB_USER=$COUCHDB_USER SECRETIN_SERVER_COUCHDB_PASS=$COUCHDB_PASS SECRETIN_SERVER_REDIS_URL=$REDIS_URL \
	SECRETIN_SERVER_COUCHDB_HOST=$COUCHDB_HOST SECRETIN_SERVER_COUCHDB_DBNAME="secretintest" \
	forever start --sourceDir=$DAEMON_DIR --workingDir=$DAEMON_DIR -a -o $DAEMON_LOGDIR"access.log" -e $DAEMON_LOGDIR"error.log" --uid $DAEMON_UID index.js
  ;;

  stop)
  echo "Stoping $DAEMON_NAME..."
  sudo -H -u secretin forever stop $DAEMON_UID
  ;;

  *)
  echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$DAEMON_NAME {start|stop}"
  exit 1
  ;;
esac

exit 0

Then make it executable and add the service at start.

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/secretin && update-rc.d secretin defaults

Start it : /etc/init.d/secretin start

Try to access the ping interface : curl http://your-secretin-ip:3000/ping
