# Installation
This section is still to-do. You will need to figure shit out for some of the apache2 and nginx stuff. Everything else should be OK.
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Install on Apache
2023-08-10 21:54:37 -05:00
2023-07-22 13:41:14 -05:00
Login as root.
```sh
2023-11-27 19:39:20 -05:00
apt install php-mbstring apache2 certbot php-imagick imagemagick php-curl curl php-apcu git libapache2-mod-php python3-certbot-apache
2023-07-22 13:41:14 -05:00
service apache2 start
a2enmod rewrite
```
For all of the files in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`, you must apply the following changes:
- Uncomment `ServerName` directive, put your domain name there
- Change `ServerAdmin` to your email
- Change `DocumentRoot` to `/var/www/html/4get`
- Change `ErrorLog` and `CustomLog` directives to log stuff out to `/dev/null/`
Now open `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf` and change `ErrorLog` and `CustomLog` directives to have `/dev/null/` as a value
This *should* disable logging completely, but I'm not 100% sure since I sort of had to troubleshoot alot of shit while writing this. So after we're done check if `/var/log/apache2/*` contains any personal info, and if it does, call me retarded trough email exchange.
Blindly run the following shit
```sh
cd /var/www/html
git clone https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get
cd 4get
mkdir icons
chmod 777 -R icons/
```
Restart the service for good measure... `service apache2 restart`
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Install on NGINX
Login as root.
Create a file in `/etc/nginx/sites-avaliable/` called `4get.conf` or any name you want and put this into the file:
```
server {
# DO YOU REALLY NEED TO LOG SEARCHES?
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;
# Change this if you have 4get in other folder.
root /var/www/4get;
# Change yourdomain by your domain lol
server_name www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com;
location @php {
try_files $uri.php $uri/index.php =404;
# Change the unix socket address if it's different for you.
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
# Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distro.
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
location / {
try_files $uri @php;
}
location ~* ^(.*)\.php$ {
return 301 $1;
}
listen 80;
}
```
That is a very basic config so you will need to adapt it to your needs in case you have a more complicated nginx configuration. Anyways, you can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)
After you save the file you will need to do a symlink of the `4get.conf` file to `/etc/nignx/sites-enabled/`, you can do it with this command:
```sh
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf
```
Now test the nginx config with `nginx -t`, if it says that everything is good, restart nginx using `systemctl restart nginx`
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Install using Docker (lol u lazy fuck)
```
2024-02-09 04:59:25 -05:00
docker run -d -p 80:80 -e FOURGET_SERVER_NAME="4get.ca" luuul/4get:latest
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
```
...Or with SSL:
```
2024-02-09 04:59:25 -05:00
docker run -d -p 443:443 -v /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld:/etc/4get/certs -e FOURGET_SERVER_NAME="4get.ca" luuul/4get:latest
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
```
if the certificate files are not mounted to /etc/4get/certs the service listens to port 80
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
2024-02-09 04:59:25 -05:00
the certificate directory expects files named `fullchain.pem` and `privkey.pem`
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Install using Docker Compose
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
copy `docker-compose.yaml`
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
to serve custom banners create a directory named `banners` for example with images and mount to `/var/www/html/4get/banner`
to serve captcha images create a directory named `captchas` for example containing subfolders with images and mount to `/var/www/html/4get/data/captcha`
any environment variables prefixed with `FOURGET_` will be added to the generated config
2024-01-09 20:15:22 -05:00
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
the entrypoint will automatically set the `CAPTCHA_DATASET` value for you based on directory names and number of files in each
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
```
version: "3.7"
services:
fourget:
image: luuul/4get:latest
restart: always
environment:
- FOURGET_SERVER_NAME=4get.ca
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
volumes:
- /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld:/etc/4get/certs
- ./banners:/var/www/html/4get/banner
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
- ./captchas:/var/www/html/4get/data/captcha
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
```
2024-01-09 02:25:41 -05:00
Replace relevant values and start with `docker compose up -d`
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Install on Caddy
1. Install dependencies:
`sudo apt install caddy php8.2-dom php8.2-imagick imagemagick php8.2-curl curl php8.2-apcu git`
2. Clone this repository where you want to host this from:
`cd /var/www && sudo git clone https://git.konakona.moe/diowo/4get`
3. Set permission on the `icons` directory inside `4get`
`cd /var/www/4get/ && sudo chmod 777 -R icons/`
4. Add an entry for 4get on your Caddyfile at `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
```sh
4get.konakona.moe {
root * /var/www/4get
file_server
encode gzip
php_fastcgi unix//var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock {
index index.php
}
redir /{path}.php{query} 301
try_files {path} {path}.php
}
```
Caddy deals with SSL certificates automatically so you don't have to mess with anything. Also if needed, a sample of my Caddyfile can be found [here](https://git.konakona.moe/diowo/misc/src/branch/master/etc/caddy/Caddyfile).
5. Restart Caddy
`sudo systemctl restart caddy`

# Encryption setup
2023-07-22 13:41:14 -05:00
I'm schizoid (as you should) so I'm gonna setup 4096bit key encryption. To complete this step, you need a domain or subdomain in your possession. Make sure that the DNS shit for your domain has propagated properly before continuing, because certbot is a piece of shit that will error out the ass once you reach 5 attempts under an hour.
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Encryption setup on Apache
2023-07-22 13:41:14 -05:00
```sh
certbot --apache --rsa-key-size 4096 -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com
```
When it asks to choose a vhost, choose the option with "HTTPS" listed. Don't setup HTTPS for tor, we don't need it (it doesn't even work anyways with let's encrypt)
Edit `000-default-le-ssl.conf`
Add this at the end:
```xml
<Directory /var/www/html/4get>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
```
Now since this file is located in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`, you must change all of the logging shit as to make it not log anything, like we did earlier.
Restart again
```sh
service apache2 restart
```
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Encryption setup on NGINX
Generate a certificate for the domain using:
```sh
certbot --nginx --key-type ecdsa -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com
```
(Remember to install the nginx certbot plugin!!!)
After doing that certbot should deploy the certificate automatically into your 4get nginx config file. It should be ready to use at that point.

# Jesse it is time to configure the server the fucking bots are back
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
Wohoo the awful piece of shit setup and fiddling with 3 gazillion files is GONE. All you need to do to configure your shit is to go in `data/config.php` and edit the self-documenting configuration file. You can also specify proxies in `data/proxies/whatever.txt` and captcha images in `data/captcha/category/1.png`... I further explain how to deal with that garbage in the config file I mentionned.
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
# (Optional) Tor setup
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
1. Install `tor`.
2. Open `/etc/tor/torrc`
3. Go to the line that contains `HiddenServiceDir` and `HiddenServicePort`
4. Uncomment those 2 lines and set them like this:
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/4get
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
```
5. Start the tor service using `systemctl start tor`
6. Wait some seconds...
7. Login as root and execute this command: `cat /var/lib/tor/4get/hostname`
8. That is your onion address.
After you get your onion address you will need to configure your Apache or Nginx config or you will get 404 errors.
I don't know to configure this shit on Apache so here is the NGINX one.
2023-11-07 08:04:56 -05:00
## Tor setup on NGINX
Important Note: Tor onion addresses are significantly longer than traditional domain names. Before proceeding with Nginx configuration, ensure you increase the `server_names_hash_bucket_size` value in your `nginx.conf` file. This setting in your Nginx configuration controls the internal data structure used to manage multiple server names (hostnames) associated with your web server. Each hostname requires a certain amount of memory within this structure. If the size is insufficient, Nginx will encounter errors.
2024-02-06 23:36:21 -05:00
1. Open your `nginx.conf` file (that is under `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`).
2. Find the line containing `# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;`.
3. Uncomment the line and adjust the value. Start with 64, but if you encounter issues, incrementally increase it (e.g., 128, 256) until it accommodates your configuration.
Open your current 4get NGINX config (that is under `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`) and append this to the end of the file:
```
server {
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;
listen 80;
server_name <youronionaddress>;
root /var/www/4get;
location @php {
try_files $uri.php $uri/index.php =404;
# Change the unix socket address if it's different for you.
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
# Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distro.
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
location / {
try_files $uri @php;
}
location ~* ^(.*)\.php$ {
return 301 $1;
}
}
```
Obviously replace `<youronionaddress>` by the onion address of `/var/lib/tor/4get/hostname` and then check if the nginx config is valid with `nginx -t` if yes, then restart the nginx service and try opening the onion address into the Tor Browser. You can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)
