+ USB drive for backups
Software
+ Fresh installation of Debian 10 (Stretch)
+ Router with open ports 80 and 443 for your web server
+ Some form of email server or email gateway such that PHP mail() works.

## Optional - Set path to imagemagick

+ create a script for daily maintenance
- backup to external disk (certificates, database, /var/www/)
- renew certfificate (letsencrypt)
- update of Hubzilla
- update of Debian
- restart
+ create cron jobs for
- DynDNS (selfHOST.de or freedns.afraid.org) every 5 minutes
- Master.php for Zap/Hubzilla every 10 minutes
- daily maintenance script every day at 05:30
The script is known to work without adjustments with
+ Hardware
- Mini-PC with Debian 10 (stretch), or
- Rapberry 3 with Raspbian, Debian 10
+ DynDNS
- selfHOST.de
- freedns.afraid.org
The script can install both [Hubzilla](https://zotlabs.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project) and [Zap](https://zotlabs.com/zap/). Make sure to use the correct GIT repositories.
+ Hubzilla
- core: git clone https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core.git html (in this readme)
- addons: util/add_addon_repo https://framagit.org/hubzilla/addons.git hzaddons (in hubzilla-setup.sh)
+ Zap
- core: git clone https://framagit.org/zot/zap.git html (in this readme)
- addons: util/add_addon_repo https://framagit.org/zot/zap-addons.git zaddons (in hubzilla-setup.sh)
# Step-by-Step - some Details
## Preparations
## Configure your Router
Your web has to be visible in the internet.
Open the ports 80 and 443 on your router for your Debian. Make sure your web server is marked as "exposed host".
## Preparations Dynamic IP Address
Follow the instructions in .homeinstall/hubzilla-config.txt.
In short...
Your Hubzilla must be reachable by a domain that you can type in your browser
cooldomain.org
You can use subdomains as well
my.cooldomain.org
There are two ways to get a domain...
### Method 1: Buy a Domain
...for example buy at selfHOST.de
The cost is 1,50 € per month (2019).
### Method 2: Register a free subdomain
...for example register at freedns.afraid.org
## Note on Rasperry
The script was tested with an Raspberry 3 under Raspian, Debian 10.
It is recommended to run the Raspi without graphical frontend (X-Server). Use...
sudo raspi-config
to boot the Rapsi to the client console.
DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORD FOR USER PI!
