Setup

Build dependencies

  • Git
  • GNU Make
  • C compiler
  • Recent Go toolchain

Build and install

Clone the source code and run make.

Then run make install to install it. By default, it installs to /usr/local/.

Note that setting GOARCH to cross compile does not completely work, since the hooks handler is written in C. You need to customize CC to point to a proper cross compiler.

Runtime dependencies

  • Git
  • PostgreSQL 14 or later

Configuration

Adding a system user

Note that this process may vary depending on your OS distribution.

useradd -rmd /var/lib/lindenii/forge/ lindenii-forge

Allowing the binary to listen to low ports

Since we usually listen on port 22 for SSH, it is necessary to allow the Lindenii Forge binary to use low ports.

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/lindenii-forge

Generating SSH host keys

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f /etc/lindenii/forge/ssh_forge_ed25519_key -N ''

Initializing PostgreSQL

Assuming that you use UNIX-domain socket authentication on a local PostgreSQL instance,

su - postgres
createuser lindenii-forge
createdb -O lindenii-forge lindenii-forge
psql -f /usr/share/lindenii/forge/schema.sql -d lindenii-forge

Editing the configuration file

Copy /usr/share/doc/lindenii/forge/forge.scfg to /etc/lindenii/forge.scfg and edit appropriately.
