Ok, this is an evolution of the tutorial I posted on turtl google groups, with a step-by-step approach and some things corrected (I couldn’t be bothered to revisit the goggle groups post as you can’t edit it); The steps bellow are for installation of the turtl server on a debian minimal install with Apache:
===== Install Turtl in Debian 8 =====
# In Debian 8 i386 with Lamp:
# Start by installing required packages:
apt-get install git wget curl libtool subversion gcc make automake
# 1. Install libuv:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.9.1/libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz
tar -xf libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz
rm libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz
cd libuv-v1.9.1
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
# 2. Install RethinkDB
# Add the repo to your list and install via apt-get:
cd ~
echo “deb http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt lsb_release -cs main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rethinkdb.list
wget -qO- https://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install rethinkdb
# Now configure the default instance:
cp /etc/rethinkdb/default.conf.sample /etc/rethinkdb/instances.d/default.conf
# Restart rethinkdb:
systemctl restart rethinkdb
# 3. Install Common Lisp (ccl or sbcl)
# Move into the directory to host lisp:
cd /usr/local/src
# and download the package (http://ccl.clozure.com/download.html):
svn co http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.11/linuxx86/ccl
# Copy the files to the system folder:
cp /usr/local/src/ccl/scripts/ccl /usr/local/bin
and/or
cp /usr/local/src/ccl/scripts/ccl64 /usr/local/bin
# Can test by starting lisp with the command:
ccl
or
ccl64
(quit)
cd ~
# 4. Install quickLisp
# Create new unpriviledged user for Turtl:
adduser turtl
Create a Data directory to store files:
mkdir -p /var/turtl/data
chown turtl:turtl /var/turtl/data
chmod 0755 /var/turtl/data
# Log in as turtl user:
su turtl
cd ~
# Download and install Quicklisp
wget https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.lisp
curl -O https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
ccl --load quicklisp.lisp
or
ccl64 --load quicklisp.lisp
# Within the Lisp sheel install quicklisp:
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
(ql:add-to-init-file)
(load (compile-file “asdf.lisp”))
(quit)
# Cleanup:
rm asdf.lisp quicklisp.lisp
# 5. Download and Install Turtl
git clone https://github.com/turtl/api.git
cd /home/turtl/api
# Create a file to host lisp commands:
vi launch.lisp
# and copy the bellow:
(pushnew “./” asdf:central-registry :test #'equal)
(load “start”)
# Install a few missing dependencies in quicklisp:
cd /home/turtl/quicklisp/local-projects
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-hash-util
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/vom
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-async
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/cffi
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-rethinkdb
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-libuv
git clone git://github.com/orthecreedence/drakma-async
git clone https://github.com/Inaimathi/cl-cwd.git
# edit the ccl init conf file:
vi /home/turtl/.ccl-init.lisp
# and add the bellow at the end:
(cwd “/home/turtl/api”)
(load “/home/turtl/api/launch”)
# create the default turtl config file:
cp /home/turtl/api/config/config.default.lisp /home/turtl/api/config/config.lisp
# edit as needed:
vi /home/turtl/api/config/config.lisp
# Configure to bind to local host:
(defvar *server-bind* "127.0.0.1"
"The address to bind Turtl to (nil is the same as 0.0.0.0).")
# Also change the *site-url*, *admin-email*, and others - PLACE EVERYTHING BETWEEN " " )
# Change the Storage place to local
(defvar local-upload “/var/turtl/data”
# Start Lisp which should load turtl automatically:
ccl
or
ccl64
# turtl will build and creat db schema and launch - you should be able to access the server through a client by pointing it to http://turtl.yourdomain.com:8181
# ctrl + C to leave and (quit) to end lisp;
# Go back to root/sudo user by exiting turtl
exit
# 6. Start Turtl at boot:
# Create an systemd service:
vi /lib/systemd/system/turtl.service
# Copy/Paste the bellow:
[Unit]
Description=turtl_service
After=network.target mysql.service postgresql.service
[Service]
User=turtl
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ccl
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# Save and Close;
# Give correct permissions:
chmod 0644 /lib/systemd/system/turtl.service
# Enable the service on boot:
systemctl enable turtl
# reboot
# 7. Configure Apache as reverse proxy serving https:
# Start by installing the required mods for apache:
apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-proxy-html libxml2-dev
# Enable with:
a2enmod
# Once you are prompted with the choice of modules, pass the below line listing the module names:
proxy proxy_ajp proxy_http rewrite deflate headers proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_html
# Configure the Virtual Host in Apache:
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/turtl.conf
# Paste the bellow:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName turtl.yourdomain.com
Redirect / https://turtl.yourdomain.com/
ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.com
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/turtl.log combined
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName turtl.yourdomain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.com
