After our first OpenBay release publication on GitHub, over 3700 stars were received from you, more than 1100 forks and 41 commits been created. Surprising for us, OpenBay became one of the most popular GitHub projects in December 2014. To tell the truth, we didn’t expect such results at all but this high attention to our project had only proved to us your keen interest in the project evolution. As a result, our team’s got an idea to conduct an unprecedented campaign in the torrent industry.
We’re giving $50000 for the OpenBay development - let’s build a dream torrent site together!
Anybody can participate. All details of the campaign, tasks and their rewards can be found here. We want to stimulate you this way to input even more efforts to the project as now you can earn some money and not just work together on one huge project.
And, of course, in order to let this idea start we completely renewed the code that will actually become that core we will develop all together. We do realize that some of you are seriously frustrated, unsatisfied and even mad at us for our total OpenBay renewal! You probably think that we care shit about the efforts of those brave developers that found some extra time to improve an old version. However, we think different. Each and any of you can send us an e-mail([email protected]) about your idea or improvement that you’ve made for the old version of OpenBay. If our team finds your suggestion interesting, we are ready to negotiate with you about it’s implementation for OpenBay 2.0 for a reward or to place your idea as a competition task for the developers all over the world on the site:https://oldpiratebay.org/100k/developers
The main update is the migration to Yii2 which will allow us to develop modules maximum independent from each other. This will significantly facilitate the simultaneous development of different modules. Besides, architecture structure is now much better and easier. We hope that you will appreciate our efforts that will definitely make the collaborative work on OpenBay much easier in the future.
- Full migration to Yii2
- Comment module created
- Rating module created
- Complains module created
The installation steps are tested on virtual machine managed by VirtualBox. The virtual PC was configured with 2 network cards, the first one attached to NAT, the second one - Host-only adapter. You'll need the IP of host only-adapter to configure host machine, where you're intending to develop and test openbay. If the second adapter wasn't configured automatically - edit /etc/network/interfaces file by adding
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.56.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
Then restart.
By default VirtualBox Host-only network address is 192.168.56.*. If not - refer to Linux networking and VirtualBox documentation.
Install Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit minimal from here on your virtual pc. To reduce system overhead, do not install packets which are not necessary for you. In this case, to control installation, only Basic Server and OpenSSH Server are chosen. During installation create user named, for example, openpirate. The installation is quite trivial, for details visit official site.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git curl
This will install curl and git to your system.
If you want to checkout to different path - fix path in configs. TODO: Change repo name after merge pull-request
$ mkdir ~/www/
$ cd ~/www/
$ git clone https://github.com/profezz/openbay.git --branch manual
For using OpenBay you need LNMP stack. The installation of nginx, mysql and PHP-fpm will be described in this section. If you want to use other stack (for example LAMP) refer to official documentation.
Nginx is a high performance scalable web-server. Install it by typing
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
Change server run user to openpirate in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
Copy nginx config file from working copy to /etc/nginx/sites-available/opb. Edit paths if necessary.
sudo cp ~/www/openbay/environments/dev/conf/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/opb.conf
Create symlink in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/opb.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/001-opb.conf
Make logs dir
mkdir ~/www/logs
Now restart nginx.
$ sudo service nginx restart
You will need both mysql-server and mysql-client to make Openbay work.
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.5 mysql-client
Root password will be prompted during installation.
This manual describes how to install php-fpm. If you want to use FastCGI refer to PHP documentation.
Install PHP with necessary modules
$ sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php5-memcached php-pear php5-redis php5-dev php5-mysql php5-mcrypt php5-intl
Change FPM user and group and FPM socket owner and group from www-data to openpirate in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
Also, you'll have to install igbinary extension manually.
$ sudo pecl install -Z igbinary
And create and link necessary files:
- create /etc/php5/mods-available/igbinary.ini with following content:
extension=igbinary.so
- Create symlinks for CLI and FPM config files
$ sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/igbinary.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-igbinary.ini
$ sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/igbinary.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/10-igbinary.ini
$ sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-mcrypt.ini
$ sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/10-mcrypt.ini
Now, restart FPM
$ sudo service php5-fpm restart
Sphinx is powerful and flexible search engine used in Openbay.
Download sphinxsearch from official site
$ wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinxsearch_2.2.7-release-0ubuntu12~precise_i386.deb
Install sphinx
$ sudo apt-get install libodbc1 libpq5
$ sudo dpkg -i sphinxsearch_2.2.7-release-0ubuntu12~precise_i386.deb
Stop the daemon
$ sudo searchd --stop
Move sphinx config to /etc/sphinx
$ sudo cp ~/www/openbay/environments/dev/conf/sphinx.conf /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf
The server user for caching.
$ sudo apt-get install redis-server
Now install composer.
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Go to sources folder
$ cd ~/www/openbay/
You need to install composer bower plugin
$ composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0"
And get vendor packages
$ composer update
Due to bower assets it can take long time.
Also, composer can require your github credentials.
Now create database
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> create database opb default character set utf8;
mysql> grant all on opb.* to opb@'%' identified by 'opb';
Initialize project by running
$ cd ~/www/openbay
$ php init
Fill salts and reCaptcha key in ~/www/openbay/frontend/config/main-local.php
Apply migrations
$ ./yii migrate
$ ./yii migrate --migrationPath=@frontend/modules/comment/migrations
$ ./yii migrate --migrationPath=@frontend/modules/complain/migrations
$ ./yii migrate --migrationPath=@frontend/modules/rating/migrations
Now you can rebuild sphinx indices
$ sudo indexer --all
And run sphinx
$ sudo killall searchd
$ sudo searchd
Due to sphinx config it seems that only delta index should be rotated on data change
$ indexer --rotate npbtorrents_delta
And now Openbay is installed. To test it you need some actions on host machine. Append the following line to /etc/hosts file:
192.168.56.101 opb.virt
And you can test your developer copy of Openbay by typing http://opb.virt in your browser.
Thus, we’re refusing to support an old version. However, those wishing to develop an old version of OpenBay by themselves can still access it in the master-1.0 branch.
P.S. Also, all our team wants to bring our sincere apologies to all those who had been waiting so long for our update and to thank all those who was so patient to wait till it was finally released!
