== Get the source
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository, enter the directory and then get the submodules with the
|
|
following command
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
--------
|
|
git submodule update --init libbitdht/ libretroshare/ openpgpsdk/
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Compilation
|
|
|
|
Short of comprehensive and updated documentation on how to build RetroShare
|
|
(for the many supported platforms it runs on), scripts and recipes are provided
|
|
in the aim of creating packages for the supported platforms (and more)
|
|
in the `build_scripts` directory of this repository.
|
|
|
|
Those packaging receipts together with the continuous integration files
|
|
`.travis.yml` and `appveyor.yml` are a good source of knowledge on how to
|
|
compile RetroShare on different platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Using RetroShare on a headless computer with web UI
|
|
|
|
WARNING: This section is outdated need to be adapted to the new web UI
|
|
|
|
The web UI needs to be enabled as a parameter option to the retroshare-service:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
--------
|
|
./retroshare-nogui --webinterface 9090 --docroot /usr/share/retroshare/webui/
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The web UI is only accessible on localhost:9090. It is advised to keep it that way so that your RS
|
|
cannot be controlled using an untrusted connection.
|
|
|
|
To access your web UI from a distance, just open a SSH tunnel to it:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
--------
|
|
distant_machine:~/ > ssh rs_host -L 9090:localhost:9090 -N
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
"rs_host" is the machine running `retroshare-nogui`. Then on the distant machine, access your web UI on
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:9090
|
|
|
|
(This can also be done from the RetroShare GUI.)
