Setup self-hosted gBridge without Docker

[ilyaroot]

Can you provide some example how to setup self-hosted gBridge without Docker? I have all other prerequisites, like own HTTPS server with Let’s Encrypt certificate.

Sure - but probably not this week anymore.

As a short summary:

A Redis server, as well as a MQTT broker, needs to be available in your network.

gBridge consists of two main services.

1. • gBridge Web provides the interface for the Google API and the mangement web interface. Its source is in this repository under /web.
   • You need to configure your webserver to serve /web/public/index.php for your own gBridge URL.
   • mod_rewrite needs to be enable for Apache. Nginx and others might need different, special config.
   • You need to copy .env.example to .env in the web-Directory and fill in your information there.
2. • The redis worker is doing some magic in the background. It is a NodeJS application.
   • Copy config.sample.js to config.js in the /redis-worker-directory. Fill in the appropriate information in the new config.
   • Now you should only need to run npm install and npm start

Hi,

Not being able to install gBridge with Docker (no error, but cannot reach URL), i'm trying to install without docker.

I have a conf file for apache2 :

<VirtualHost *:8082>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName gbridge.home

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /home/pi/gBridge/web/public

        <Directory  /home/pi/gBridge/web/public>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride all
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
        # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
        # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
        # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
        # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
        #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

I have three folders :

• redis-work : npm install and npm start works
• rs-work : npm install and npm start works
• web : .env file is fill up.

I'm blocked here : I start "npm start" in redis-work. The only thing I see is the index.php page in full text : http://127.0.0.1:8082

*/ define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true)); /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Register The Auto Loade... etc...

I ask myself several questions :

• how building my database (equiv docker-compose exec web php artisan migrate) ?
• why index.php is not exec ?
• do i use well "npm start" ?

Thank you for your help
