**(Get testing to get the latest mat2 release, stable is a few versions back)**
This is very lightweight, and we recommend doing it from a VM (VM inside a VM) to benefit from Whonix Tor Gateway. While it is possible to put this VM directly behind a Whonix Gateway. Whonix will not easily (AFAIK) allow communications between VMs on its network by default.
You could also just leave it on Clearnet during the install process and then leave it on the Host-Only network later.
Or install it from a VM within a VM then move it to host OS for Host-Only usage:
- Create a new machine with any name like mat2
- Select Linux as Type
- Select Debian (64-bit) as Version
- Leave the default options and click create
- Select the VM and click Settings
- Select System and disable the Floppy disk on the Motherboard tab
- Select the Processor tab and enable PAE/NX
- Select Audio and disable Audio
- Select USB and disable the USB controller
- Select Storage and select the CD drive to mount the Debian Netinst ISO
- Select Network and Attach to NAT
- Launch the VM
- Select Install (not Graphical install)
- Select Language, Location, and Keyboard layout as you wish
- Wait for the network to configure (automatic DHCP)
- Pick a name like "Mat2"
- Leave the domain empty
- Set a Root password as you wish (preferably a good one still)
- Create a new user and password as you wish (preferably a good one still)
- Select the Time Zone of your choice
- Select Guided - Use the entire disk
- Select the only ask available
- Select All files in one partition
- Confirm and write changes to the disk
- Select NO to scan any other CD or DVD
- Select any region and any mirror of your choice and leave proxy blank
- Select no to take part in any survey
- Select only System Standard Utilities (uncheck everything else)
- Select Yes to install GRUB bootloader
- Select /dev/sda and continue
- Complete the install and reboot
- Log in with your user or root (you should never use root directly as a best security practice but in this case, it is "okay")
- Update your install by running ```su apt upgrade``` (but it should be upgraded since it is a net install)
- Install the necessary packages for mat2 by running ```su apt install ffmpeg uwsgi python3-pip uwsgi-plugin-python3 librsvg2-dev git mat2 apache2 libapache2-mod-proxy-uwsgi```
- Go to the /var/www directory by running ```cd /var/www/```
- Clone mat2-web from the mat2-web repository by issuing ```git clone https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2-web.git```
- Create a directory for uploads by running ```mkdir ./mat2-web/uploads/```
- Give permissions to Apache2 to read the files by running ```chown -R www-data:www-data ./mat2-web```
- Enable apache2 uwsgi proxy by running ```/usr/sbin/a2enmod proxy_uwsgi```
- Upgrade pip by running ```python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade```
- Install some python modules by running ```python3 -m pip install flasgger pyyaml flask-restful flask cerberus flask-cors jinja2```
- Move to the config directory of mat2 by running ```cd /var/www/mat2-web/config/```
- Copy the apache2 config file to etc by running ```cp apache2.config /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apache2.conf```
- Remove the default config file by running ```rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf```
- Edit the apache2 config file provided by mat2-web by running ```nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apache2.conf```
- Remove the first line ```Listen 80```
- Change the uwsgi path from ```/var/www/mat2-web/mat2-web.sock``` to ```/run/uwsgi/uwsgi.sock``` and save/exit
- Copy the uwsgi config file to etc by running ```cp uwsgi.config /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/uwsgi.ini```
- Edit the uwsgi config file and change uid and guid to ```nobody``` and ```nogroup```
- Run ```chown -R 777 /var/www/mat2-web```
- Restart uwsgi by running ```systemctl restart uwsgi``` (there should be no errors)
- Restart apache2 by running ```systemctl restart apache2``` (there should be no errors)
- Now change the network settings of the VM to "Host Only Network'
- Reboot the VM
- Log into the VM and type ```ip a``` to note the IP address it was assigned.
- From the VM Host OS open a Browser and go to the IP of your Debian VM (for example http://192.168.1.55)
- You should now see a Mat2-Web website running smoothly
- Shutdown the Mat2 VM by running ```shutdown -h now```
- Take a snapshot of the VM within Virtualbox
- Restart the Mat2 VM and you are ready to use Mat2-web to remove metadata from most files
- After use, shut down the VM and revert to the snapshot to remove traces of the uploaded files
- This VM does not require any internet access unless you want to update it in which case you need to place it back on the NAT network and do the next steps.
- For updates of Debian, start the VM and run ```apt update``` followed by ```apt upgrade```
- For updates of mat2-web, go to /var/www/mat2-web and run ```git pull```
- After updates, shutdown, place it back on the Host Network, take a new snapshot, remove the earlier one.

You could also just leave it on Clearnet during the install process and then leave it on the Host-Only network later, or install it from a VM within a VM then move it to host OS for Host-Only usage like we show below:

54. Reboot the VM via **Machine** > **Reset**. Confirm the reset.
55. Log into the VM as the **user** from **Step 19** and type ```ip a```. Note the IP address it was assigned under link/ether, the one that has **192.168.\*.\***.
56. From the VM Host OS, **open a Browser** and navigate to the IP of your Debian VM. It will be something like: **http://192.168.1.55**.
57. You should now see a Mat2-Web website running smoothly.
58. **Shutdown the Mat2 guest VM** by running ```shutdown -h now``` to halt the machine.
59. **Take a snapshot of the VM** within Virtualbox while the guest VM is shutdown.
**Restart the Mat2 VM* and you are ready to use Mat2-web to remove metadata from most files!**
After use, shut down the VM and revert to the snapshot to remove traces of the uploaded files. This VM does not require any internet access unless you want to update it, in which case, you need to place it back on the **NAT network** and do the next steps.
For updates of Debian, **start the VM** and run ```apt update``` followed by ```apt upgrade```.
For updates of mat2-web, type ```cd /var/www/mat2-web``` and run ```git pull```.
After updates, shutdown, change to the **Host-only Adapter**, take a new snapshot, remove the earlier one.
You are done.
Now you can just start this small mat2 VM when needed, browse to it from your Guest VM and use the interface to remove any metadata from most files.
After each use of this VM, you should revert to the Snapshot to erase all traces.
