Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0+ and Docker Compose with a version 1.6.0 or later.

If you don't have Docker installed and are running Ubuntu or Debian, you may use the setup script, setup-docker.sh. It will install Docker and Docker Compose for you.

bash setup-docker.sh

Getting Started

Fresh OS Install

SSH into your fresh server as the root user. Clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/strues/swerpbox.git.

Edit the config.sh file in the bootstrap/lib directory and adjust the settings as you see fit, namely the following variables:

• SERVER_IP
• SERVER_HOSTNAME
• USER_LOGIN
• USER_PASS

Note: for the minimum amount of potential problems, I recommend leaving the USER_LOGIN as swerp.

Run ./bootstrap/bootstrap.sh and let it do its thing.

The script will create a mostly complete .env file for you in the home directory of the user defined by the USER_LOGIN variable. All of the SwerpBox files will be placed in the home directory as well.

See the README for detailed instructions.

Existing System

Clone this repository or upload the contents of the repository to your web server. Where you place the SwerpBox files is where all the fun happens. I recommend working out of your home directory.

Example: /home/<USER>/swerpbox

Create a copy of the environment variables file with cp env_example .env and fill in the information to match with your environment.

The variables PGID, PUID, PLEX_UID, and PLEX_GUID must be set to the ids of the user running SwerpBox. If you aren't sure what the values of your user account are, you can find them by typing id $(whoami) on your server.

The output will look like this:

uid=1000(swerp) gid=1000(swerp) groups=1000(swerp)

It is crucial to set PGID and PUID variables to the values matching the user running SwerpBox.

Note: The file buildall.sh is meant for CI services. To start everything just run, make start or docker-compose up -d

The create-user.sh script will create a user and group named swerp, set the GID and UID, and create the .env file for you.

Running make help lists all commands available to you.

Resilio-Sync

Sync uses peer-to-peer technology to provide fast, private file sharing for teams and individuals. By skipping the cloud, transfers can be significantly faster because files take the shortest path between devices.

I give credit where it's due and would like to give a shoutout to LinuxServer.io. Parts of their Dockerfiles were borrowed and modified for this seedbox setup.
