Maintaining ethercalc
We are running ethercalc (a spreadsheet/wiki web software) at https://calc.mayfirst.org/.
It depends on node.js.
It was installed by running, as the calc user on mchesney (and in the /home/calc):
npm install ethercalc
That created a directory structure in /home/calc/node_modules.
The init script is handled by runit and is located in /etc/sv/ethercalc. The run file is:
#!/bin/bash exec 2>&1 exec chpst -e ./env -u calc:calc /usr/bin/nodejs /home/calc/node_modules/ethercalc/bin/ethercalc --basepath https://calc.mayfirst.org
And in the env directory, there is a file called NODE_ENV with the contents: production
We running apache which passed through traffic to ethercalc. The apache file (in site-enabled) has the following content:
<VirtualHost 209.234.253.233:443> # web config for calc.mayfirst.org ServerName calc.mayfirst.org # ServerAlias www.calc.mayfirst.org <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> #SSL Stuff SSLEngine On SSLProxyEngine On SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/calc.mayfirst.org/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/calc.mayfirst.org/privkey.pem ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://localhost:8000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8000/ </VirtualHost>
To update to the latest version of ethercalc, run the following command in /home/calc as the ethercalc user:
npm update
Then, restart ethercalc (as root):
sv restart ethercalc
Note: the current version of ethercalc only works because of a patch described here. If updated, you may need to edit the specified file by hand.
