Debain 8.5 step-by-step

Everything in this guide is done as root.

FFMPEG install

FFMPEG is non-free or something. There is a guide on how to get it installed here or you can just follow these instructions:

Create a new list for ffmpeg:

# touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ffmpeg.list

And add the repos:

# echo "deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ffmpeg.list
# echo "deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ffmpeg.list

Update the repos:

# apt-get update

Get the key ring:

# apt-get -y install deb-multimedia-keyring

Update the repos, again:

# apt-get update

Make sure ffmpeg is not already installed:

# apt-get remove ffmpeg

Get the library packages and build tools:

# apt-get install -y build-essential libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev libtheora-dev libspeex-dev yasm pkg-config libfaac-dev libopenjpeg-dev libx264-dev

Make some temporary folders we will use to organize the ffmpeg stuff:

# mkdir -p /opt/ffmpeg-build/{software,src} && cd /opt/ffmpeg-build/software

Download the ffmpeg ball:

# wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.7.2.tar.bz2

Extract the ball:

# tar -C ../src -xvjf ffmpeg-2.7.2.tar.bz2

Change to the source directory:

# cd ../src/ffmpeg-2.7.2

Configure:

# ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libx264 --enable-libspeex --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libfaac --enable-nonfree

Make:

# make && make install

Do this thing:

# /sbin/ldconfig

Install redis

If you use your package manager, you will install an old version of redis and you will wonder why nothing works. The full set of instructions is here.

Let's make a build directory:

# mkdir /opt/redis-build && /opt/redis-build

Download the stable ball:

# wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

Make:

# make

Install tcl, so we can make test:

# apt-get install -y install tcl

Make test:

# make test

Then install:

# make install

Now, run the install script. Select the defaults unless you want to diverge from this step-by-step:

# cd utils && ./install_server.sh

Make redis start on boot:

# update-rc.d redis_6379 defaults

It is strongly recommended that you secure redis:

Generate a cute little sha512sum to use as the password. Use your own sufficiently good seed.

# echo "requirepass" $(echo "the ass was fat and i loved the way she cooks her memes" | sha512sum) >> /etc/redis/6379.conf

Restart redis:

# service redis_6379 restart

Install golang

Get the golang binary. Make sure you get an up-to-date version. As of 2016-06-10, the stable version of golang is 1.6.2.

Download the ball:

# wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Extract the ball:

# tar -C /usr/local/ -xvzf go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Add the go path to the global profile:

# echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"' >> /etc/.profile

Now install nntpchan

Do some things:

# sudo apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install imagemagick libsodium-dev sox git ca-certificates

Clone the repo in /opt/nntpchan:

# cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan.git
# cd /opt/nntpchan

Build:

# ./build.sh

Run the setup:

# ./srndv2 setup

Follow the instructions. The ffmpeg command should be changed to /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.

Have fun.
