sudo -u postgres createuser samizdat -P
sudo -u postgres createdb -O samizdat -E UTF-8 -T template0 --locale=en_US.UTF-8 samizdat
sudo systemctl enable redis-server postgresql
sudo systemctl start redis-server postgresql

Edit /etc/postgresql/*/main/pg_hba.conf, add: local samizdat samizdat scram-sha-256

Then: sudo systemctl restart postgresql

sudo mkdir -p /sites && cd /sites
sudo git clone https://github.com/FAKEMedium/Samizdat.git && cd Samizdat
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /sites/Samizdat
sudo -u www-data cp samizdat.dist.yml samizdat.yml
sudo -u www-data nano samizdat.yml - Edit config
sudo -u www-data make fetchall && sudo -u www-data bin/samizdat migrate && sudo -u www-data make i18n

Optional Webpack frontend:

For single installation:

For multiple sites (shared node_modules):

System-wide (requires root):

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/samizdat && cd /usr/local/share/samizdat
sudo cp /sites/Samizdat/package.json .
sudo mkdir -p .npm-cache
sudo HOME=/usr/local/share/samizdat npm_config_cache=/usr/local/share/samizdat/.npm-cache npm install

User-level (no root):

Then in each site: make webpack (will auto-detect and link to shared node_modules)

SSL cert (dev):
