Sopel

The Current Guide is mainly SpiceBot related, and runs in a proxmox container.

Proxmox

Update Template Listing

pveam update

Install Template

debian-8-turnkey-nginx-php-fastcgi_14.2-1_amd64.tar

I use this template specifically because it saves some time/headache getting php and nginx to cooperate.

Start Template

Go through the containers initial setup.

Upgrade Jessie to Stretch

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

nano *

Comment out ALL of the lines.

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add:

 deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main
 deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
 deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main
 

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Answer all the defaults.

reboot

Re-add MySQL

Clear mysql and mariadb for safety.

 apt remove maria*
 apt remove mysql*
 

Add source for MySQL and install.

 echo -e "deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/ stretch mysql-5.7\ndeb-src http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/ stretch mysql-5.7" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list
 wget -O /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql
 apt-key add /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql
 apt update
 apt install mysql-server
 

Create Sudo Bot User

 
 apt install sudo
 
 adduser spicebot
 usermod -aG sudo spicebot
 
 sudo visudo
 spicebot ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
 
 nano /etc/passwd
 spicebot:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/spicebot:/bin/bash
 

Python

 apt install python-dev python-pip -y
 pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
 pip install backports.ssl_match_hostname
 apt-get install python-dateutil 
 apt-get install python-git
 apt-get install python-simplejson
 pip install BeautifulSoup
 pip install fake_useragent

Arrow from source

 pip uninstall arrow
 pip install git+https://github.com/crsmithdev/arrow.git
 
 OR
 
 pip uninstall arrow
 git clone https://github.com/crsmithdev/arrow.git
 cd arrow
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 pip install -e
 

Node.js

 curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
 apt-get install -y nodejs
 

Other Handy Dependencies

 apt install bc build-essential libssl-dev libperl-dev pkg-config -y
 

Nginx

We need to make sure nginx is on an alternate port from 80, as Pi-hole needs it.

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Delete All Content and replace with:

 server {
         listen 81;
 
         #root /home/spicebot/.sopel/spicebot/web;
 
         index index.html index.php;
 
 }
 
 

Then restart nginx:

service nginx restart

Pi-hole

Install Pi-hole

 curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
 pihole -a -p
 

shutdown container and change dns setting to

127.0.0.1

Stikked

 mysql -u root -p
 CREATE DATABASE stikked;
 exit
 

ZNC

Download and install

 sudo wget https://znc.in/releases/znc-1.7.0.tar.gz
 sudo tar -xzvf znc-1.7.0.tar.gz
 cd znc-1.7.0
 ./configure
 sudo make
 sudo make install
 

Create the service file

 nano /lib/systemd/system/znc.service

 systemctl enable znc.service
 

 cd /home/spicebot/.znc/configs/
