## Depreciated commands
### move_participant_stats
Task to move participant stats directly on the `event` table (so there's no need to count event participants each time).
This task should **only be run once** when migrating from `v1.0.0-beta.1` to `v1.0.0-beta.2`.
This task will be removed in version `v1.0.0-beta.3`.
```bash
mix mobilizon.move_participant_stats
```
### setup_search
Task to setup search for existing events.
This task should **only be run once** when migrating from `v1.0.0-beta.1` to `v1.0.0-beta.2`.
This task will be removed in version `v1.0.0-beta.3`.
```bash
mix mobilizon.setup_search
```

# Dependencies
## Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives
This documentation is appropriate for Debian 10 (Buster) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
### Security
We advise to make sure your webserver is secure enough.
For instance you can require authentication through SSH keys and not passwords, install Fail2Ban to block repeated login attempts and block unused ports by installing and configuring a firewall.
### Basic tools
We begin by making sure some basic tools are installed:
```bash
sudo apt install curl unzip vim openssl make git
```
### Web server
We only officially support nginx.
```bash
sudo apt install nginx
```
### HTTPS Certificates
Then we need to install [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/), a tool to ask for free Let's Encrypt HTTPS certificates.
```bash
sudo apt install certbot
```
You can use certbot with web server plugins or manually. See [Certbot's documentation](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions).
### NodeJS
We install the latest NodeJS version by adding NodeSource repos and installing NodeJS:
Head over to [this page](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#table-of-contents) and follow the instructions for `Node.js v12.x`.
!!! info
Unless stated otherwise, Mobilizon always supports only the latest LTS version of NodeJS.
!!! tip
NodeSource repos only gives updates for a specific version of NodeJS (it doesn't upgrade itself to a new major version). When a new major version of NodeJS is released, you need to remove the old repo and add the new one.
### Yarn
Mobilizon uses [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) to manage NodeJS packages, so we need to install it as well.
Follow the instructions on [this page](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#debian-stable) to add Yarn's repository and install it.
!!! info
It is also possible to install `yarn` directly with `npm`:
```bash
npm install -g yarn
```.
You need to make sure npm's binary packages folder in your `$PATH` afterwards to use `yarn`.
### Erlang and Elixir
The packages from Debian or Ubuntu are badly packaged and often out of date, so we need to add one final source repository.
Follow the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian on [this page](https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-and-unix-like) to add Erlang Solutions repo and install Erlang and Elixir.
!!! tip
The Erlang package also wants to install an add-on for Emacs for some reason (but it doesn't install Emacs). If you see a warning, nothing to worry about.
### PostgreSQL and PostGIS
Mobilizon uses the [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) database, and the PostgreSQL [Postgis](https://postgis.net) extension to store geographical data into PostgreSQL.
```bash
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib postgis
```
After that we can enable and start the PostgreSQL service.
```
sudo systemctl --now enable postgresql
```
### Misc
We need the following tools to handle and optimize pictures that are uploaded on Mobilizon.
```bash
sudo apt install imagemagick
```
The following packages are optional, Mobilizon can run without them.
```bash
sudo apt install webp gifsicle jpegoptim optipng pngquant
```
Once finished, let's [head back to the install guide](index.md).
## Arch Linux
Run the following command to install all at once:
```bash
sudo pacman -S nodejs postgresql openssl git wget unzip base-devel yarn nginx elixir postgis imagemagick
```
Now that dependencies are installed, before running Mobilizon you should start PostgreSQL:
```
sudo systemctl --now enable postgresql
```
Once finished, let's [head back to the install guide](index.md).

# Docker
You can quickly get a server running using Docker. You'll need both [Docker](https://www.docker.com/community-edition) and [Docker-Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
Start by cloning the repo
```bash
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon && cd mobilizon
```
Then, just run `make` to build containers.
```bash
make
```
This will start a database container, an API container also containing the front-end running on `localhost`.

# Install
## Pre-requisites
* A Linux machine with **root access**
* A **domain name** (or subdomain) for the Mobilizon server, e.g. `example.net`
* An **SMTP server** to deliver emails
!!! tip
You can also install Mobilizon [with Docker](docker.md).
## Dependencies
Mobilizon requires Elixir, NodeJS and PostgreSQL among other things.
Installing dependencies depends on the system you're using. Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
## Setup
We're going to use a dedicated `mobilizon` user with `/home/mobilizon` home:
```bash
sudo adduser --disabled-login mobilizon
```
!!! tip
On FreeBSD
``` bash
sudo pw useradd -n mobilizon -d /home/mobilizon -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m
sudo passwd mobilizon
```
Then let's connect as this user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
```
Let's start by cloning the repository in a directory named `live`:
```bash
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon live && cd live
```
## Installing dependencies
Install Elixir dependencies
```bash
mix deps.get
```
Then compile these dependencies and Mobilizon (this can take a few minutes)
```bash
mix compile
```
Go into the `js/` directory
```bash
cd js
```
and install the Javascript dependencies
```bash
yarn install
```
Finally, we can build the front-end (this can take a few seconds)
```bash
yarn run build
```
Let's go back to the main directory
```bash
cd ../
```
## Configuration
Mobilizon provides a command line tool to generate configuration
```bash
mix mobilizon.instance gen
```
This will ask you questions about your instance and generate a `.env.prod` file.
### Migration
Run database migrations: `mix ecto.migrate`. You will have to do this again after most updates.
!!! tip
If some migrations fail, it probably means you're not using a recent enough version of PostgreSQL, or that you haven't installed the required extensions.
## Services
### Systemd
Copy the `support/systemd/mobilizon.service` to `/etc/systemd/system`.
```bash
sudo cp support/systemd/mobilizon.service /etc/systemd/system/
```
Reload Systemd to detect your new file
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
And enable the service
```bash
systemctl enable --now mobilizon.service
```
It will run Mobilizon and enable startup on boot. You can follow the logs with
```bash
sudo journalctl -fu mobilizon.service
```
The Mobilizon server runs on port 4000 on the local interface only, so you need to add a reverse-proxy.
## Reverse proxy
### Nginx
Copy the file from `support/nginx/mobilizon.conf` to `/etc/nginx/sites-available`.
```bash
sudo cp support/nginx/mobilizon.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available
```
Then symlink the file into the `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled` directory.
```bash
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mobilizon.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```
Edit the file `/etc/nginx/sites-available` and adapt it to your own configuration.
Test the configuration with `sudo nginx -t` and reload nginx with `systemctl reload nginx`.

title: Upgrading to a new release
---
# Preparing
The release page contains a changelog, and below it, upgrade instructions. **Read and understand** the release instructions.
Some tasks (like database migrations) can take a while, so we advise you to run commands inside a `tmux` or `screen`.
# Backup
Always make sure your database and `.env.production` file are properly backuped before performing upgrades.
Unless stated otherwise in the release notes, the following steps are enough to upgrade Mobilizon.
# Steps
### Fetch latest code
Switch to the `mobilizon` user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
```
And navigate to the Mobilizon root directory:
```bash
cd /home/mobilizon/live
```
Fetch the latest tags
```bash
git fetch --tags
```
And checkout the tag you want to switch to. For instance, if I want to upgrade to version `v1.1`:
```bash
git checkout v1.1
```
### Fetch new dependencies
Fetch new and/or updated Elixir and NodeJS dependencies
```bash
mix deps.get
```
```bash
cd js
yarn install
```
### Rebuild Mobilizon's front-end
```bash
yarn run build
cd ../
```
### Recompile Mobilizon
```bash
mix compile
```
Let's switch back to your regular user.
### Stop running Mobilizon processes
```bash
sudo systemctl stop mobilizon
```
### Perform database migrations
Go back to the `mobilizon` user.
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
mix ecto.migrate
```
### Restart Mobilizon
Let's switch back one last time to your regular user.
```bash
sudo systemctl restart mobilizon
```
You can follow the Mobilizon logs to check that everything works properly.
```bash
sudo journalctl -u mobilizon -f
```
**Thats all!** Youre running the new version of Mobilizon now.
If you have issues after upgrading, try reviewing upgrade steps and release notes.
Then feel free to [contact us](../about.md#discuss) or file an issue on [our Gitlab](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/issues)
