## Introduction
Please refer to [the official website](https://www.exograd.com/doc/eventline/handbook.html#_deployment_and_configuration) documentation for an up to date installation guide. This page only lists what I had to do at the time to setup eventline and adapt it to my particular setup.
## Preparing the postgresql database
A Postgresql database version 14 or above is the only dependency, let's install it:
```sh
pkg install postgresql14-server postgresql14-contrib
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql enable
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
```
Now let's provision a database:
```sh
su - postgres
createuser -W eventline
createdb -O eventline eventline
```
Connect to the database and activate the pgcryto extension:
```sql
psql -U eventline -W eventline
CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
```
## Eventline
Exograd (the company behind eventline) maintains a FreeBSD repository, let's use it:
```sh
curl -sSfL -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/exograd-public.conf \
https://pkg.exograd.com/public/freebsd/exograd.conf
pkg update
pkg install eventline
```
Edit the `/usr/local/etc/eventline/eventline.yaml` configuration file:
```yaml
data_directory: "/usr/local/share/eventline"
api_http_server:
address: "localhost:8085"
web_http_server:
address: "localhost:8087"
web_http_server_uri: "http://localhost:8087"
pg:
uri:
"postgres://eventline:XXXXXXXX@localhost:5432/eventline"
# You need to generate a random encryption, for example using OpenSSL:
# openssl rand -base64 32
encryption_key: "YYYYYYYY"
```
Now start eventline with:
```sh
service eventline enable
service eventline start
```
## DNS record
Since all configuration regarding this application is in terraform, so is the dns:
```hcl
resource "cloudflare_record" "eventline-cname" {
zone_id = lookup(data.cloudflare_zones.adyxax-org.zones[0], "id")
name = "eventline"
value = "10.1.2.5"
type = "A"
proxied = false
}
```
This IP is the wireguard endpoint on the server hosting eventline. Having this hostname is important for the ssl certificate validation, otherwise firefox will complain!
## Nginx configuration for the webui
This nginx configuration listens on a wireguard interface:
```cfg
server {
listen 10.1.2.5:80;
server_name eventline.adyxax.org;
location / {
return 308 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
}
# webui
server {
listen 10.1.2.5:443 ssl;
server_name eventline.adyxax.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8087;
include headers_secure.conf;
}
ssl_certificate adyxax.org.fullchain;
ssl_certificate_key adyxax.org.key;
}
# api-server
server {
listen 10.1.2.5:8085 ssl;
server_name eventline.adyxax.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8085;
include headers_secure.conf;
}
ssl_certificate adyxax.org.fullchain;
ssl_certificate_key adyxax.org.key;
}
```
## Admin account's password
Go to the domain you configured (https://eventline.adyxax.org/ for me) and login to your new eventline with username `admin` and password `admin`. Then go to `Account` and click `Change password`.
