Creeate a fork of Gab with step-by-step remote host deployment instructions

I am looking for a step-by step tutorial to successfully deploy Gab’s open source code onto a remote ubuntu host machine. [login to view URL] (repo Password: “JesusChristIsKingTrumpWonTheElection“) takes you to the repository which has instructions ([login to view URL]) for deploying everything locally in a virtual box. The repository includes deployment instructions for **Docker and docker-compose**, but also a few specific platforms like **Heroku**, **Scalingo**, and **Nanobox**. I want these translated into a step-by-step tutorial for deployment on a remote host machine without a virtual box. Deliverables: a fork of the source code that has the “gab” button text changed to “post” (This is the button users press when creating a post/ gab/ tweet/toot) as part of the deliverables. A step-by-step detail on how to properly remotely deploy & configure above fork of gab-open-source to a host machine, based on machine ip and name server address from scratch. Configuration will include proper firewall, ip, dns, and email host deployment instructions. Gab’s open source code is a fork of Mastodon, a federated social media platform. here are instructions for how to deploy a Mastodon Server, which may be useful. Deployment details: Ubuntu 18.04 x64 (I can provide a remote host machine with test domain if needed) I can also provide working SMTP email server credentials to send signup emails from if needed **Tech stack:** - **Ruby on Rails** powers the REST API and other web pages - **React.js** and Redux are used for the dynamic parts of the interface - **Node.js** powers the streaming API **Requirements:** - **PostgreSQL** 9.5+ - **Redis** - **Ruby** 2.4+ - **Node.js** 8+ First few steps in server deployment Fresh boot Update and upgrade system packages apt update && apt upgrade -y create ssh key, push ssh key to server, login via ssh, and Enable SSHD no pw login vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find PasswordAuthentication. Make sure it’s uncommented and set to no. If you made any changes, restart sshd: Alias system and journalctl vim ~/.bashrc and paste to bottom: set -o vi alias s='systemctl' alias j='journalctl -xe' source .bashrc s restart sshd apt-get install fail2ban -y vim /etc/fail2ban/[login to view URL] and put this inside: [DEFAULT] destemail = [login to view URL] sendername = Fail2Ban [sshd] enabled = true port = 22 [sshd-ddos] enabled = true port = 22 Finally restart fail2ban: s restart fail2ban Step 5 firewall setup ( this may requires some modifications to work properly as it is copied from mastodon preconfig instructions ) Install a firewall and only whitelist SSH, HTTP and HTTPS ports apt install -y iptables-persistent select no 2x vim /etc/iptables/[login to view URL] and put this inside: *filter # Allow all loopback (lo0) traffic and drop all traffic to 127/8 that doesn't use lo0 -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT ! -i lo -d [login to view URL] -j REJECT # Accept all established inbound connections -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # Allow all outbound traffic - you can modify this to only allow certain traffic -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT # Allow HTTP and HTTPS connections from anywhere (the normal ports for websites and SSL). -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT # Allow SSH connections # The -dport number should be the same port number you set in sshd_config -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -j ACCEPT # Allow ping -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT # Log iptables denied calls -A INPUT -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7 # Reject all other inbound - default deny unless explicitly allowed policy -A INPUT -j REJECT -A FORWARD -j REJECT COMMIT With iptables-persistent, that configuration will be loaded at boot time. But since we are not rebooting right now, we need to load it manually for the first time: iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/[login to view URL]
