From 0 to "Hello World"

Goal:

The purpose of this tutorial is to install Walnut and be able to launch a simple "Hello World" app.

Pre-requisites:

  • You have compatible server hardware
    • Daplie Server
    • EspressoBin
    • Raspberry Pi
    • MacBook
    • (pretty much anything, actually)
  • You have compatible software
    • Linux of any sort that uses systemd
    • macOS using launchd
  • You own a domain
    • through Daplie Domains
    • or you understand domains and DNS and all that stuff

Choose a domain

For the purpose of this instruction we'll assume that your domain is example.com, but you can use, say, johndoe.daplie.me for testing through Daplie Domains.

Anyway, go ahead and set the bash variable $my_domain for the purposes of the rest of this tutorial:

my_domain=example.com

You can purchase a domain with daplie tools

npm install -g git+https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/daplie-tools.git

daplie domains:search -n $my_domain

Subodmains

Auth will be loaded with the following domains

provider.example.com
api.provider.example.com

The Hello World app will be loaded with the following domains

example.com
www.example.com
api.example.com
assets.example.com

The domains can be setup through the Daplie Desktop App or with daplie-tools

Replace foodevice with whatever you like to call this device

# hostname
my_device=foodevice

# curl https://api.oauth3.org/api/tunnel@oauth3.org/checkip
my_address=127.0.0.1

# set device address and attach primary domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n $my_domain -a $my_address

# attach all other domains with same device/address
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n provider.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n api.provider.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n www.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n api.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n assets.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n cloud.$my_domain
daplie devices:attach -d $my_device -n api.cloud.$my_domain

Goldilocks Configuration

Walnut must sit behind a proxy that properly terminates https and sets the X-Forwarded-Proto header.

Goldilocks can do this, as well as manage daplie domains, tunneling, etc.

curl https://daplie.me/install-scripts | bash

daplie-install-goldilocks

Example /etc/goldilocks/goldilocks.yml:

tls:
  email: domains@example.com
  servernames:
    - example.com
    - www.example.com
    - api.example.com
    - assets.example.com
    - cloud.example.com
    - api.cloud.example.com
    - provider.example.com
    - api.provider.example.com

http:
  trust_proxy: true
  modules:
    - name: proxy
      domains:
        - '*'
      address: '127.0.0.1:3000'

Basic Walnut Install

curl https://daplie.me/install-scripts | bash

daplie-install-walnut

You could also, of course, try installing from the repository directly (especially if you have goldilocks or some similar already installed)

mkdir -p /srv/walnut/
git clone https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/walnut.js.git /srv/walnut/core
pushd /srv/walnut/core
  git checkout v1
popd
bash /srv/walnut/core/install-helper.sh

Initial Configuration

Once installed and started you can visit https://localhost.daplie.me:3000 to configure the primary domain.

You could also do this manually via curl:

curl -X POST http://api.localhost.daplie.me:3000/api/walnut@daplie.com/init \
  -H 'X-Forwarded-Proto: https' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "domain": "'$my_domain'" }'

Resetting the Initialization

Once you run the app the initialization files will appear in these locations

/srv/walnut/var/com.daplie.walnut.config.sqlite3
/srv/walnut/config/<domain.tld>/config.json

Deleting those files and restarting walnut will reset it to its bootstrap state.

Reset Permissions

Since the app store and package manager are not built yet, you should also change the permissions on the walnut directory for the purposes of this tutorial:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /srv/walnut/
sudo chmod -R +s /srv/walnut/

Install OAuth3 API Package

We need to have a local login system.

For the APIs for that well install the issuer@oauth3.orgAPI package and enable it forapi.provider.example.com`:

# API packaged for walnut
git clone https://git.daplie.com/OAuth3/org.oauth3.provider.git /srv/walnut/packages/rest/issuer@oauth3.org
pushd /srv/walnut/packages/rest/issuer@oauth3.org/
    git checkout v1.2
    npm install
popd

# Give permission for this package to provider.example.com
# the api. prefix is omitted because it is always assumed for APIs
echo "issuer@oauth3.org" >> /srv/walnut/packages/client-api-grants/provider.$my_domain

NOTE: Currently there are some hard-coded values that need to be changed out (TODO use getSiteConfig()). vim /srv/walnut/packages/rest/issuer@oauth3.org/lib/provide-oauth3.js and search for the email stuff and change it.

For the user interface for that we'll install the issuer@oauth3.org site package and enable it

# Frontend
git clone https://git.daplie.com/OAuth3/org.oauth3.git /srv/walnut/packages/pages/issuer@oauth3.org
pushd /srv/walnut/packages/pages/issuer@oauth3.org
  bash ./install.sh
popd

# Tell Walnut to load this site package when provider.example.com is requested
echo "issuer@oauth3.org" >> /srv/walnut/var/sites/provider.$my_domain

OAuth3 Secrets

OAuth3 is currently configured to use mailgun for sending verification emails. It is intended to provide a way to use various mail services in the future, just bear with us for the time being (or open a Merge Request).

vim /srv/walnut/var/$my_domain/config.json
{ "mailgun.org": {
    "apiKey": "key-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  , "apiPublicKey": "pubkey-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  , "auth": {
      "user": "robtherobot@example.com"
    , "pass": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    , "api_key": "key-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    , "domain": "example.com"
    }
  }
, "issuer@oauth3.org": {
    "mailer": {
      "from": "login@example.com"
    , "subject": "Login code request"
    , "text": ":code\n\nis your login code"
    }
  }
}

Install the 'hello@example.com' package

git clone https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/com.example.hello.git /srv/walnut/packages/rest/hello@example.com

echo "hello@example.com" >> /srv/walnut/packages/client-api-grants/provider.$my_domain

What it should look like:

/srv/walnut/packages/rest/hello@example.com/
  package.json
  api.js
  models.js
  rest.js

/srv/walnut/packages/client-api-grants/example.com
  '''
  hello@example.com
  '''

Setup the Seed App (front-end)

Get the Seed App

pushd /srv/walnut/packages/pages/

git clone https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/seed_example.com.git --branch v1 seed@example.com

pushd seed@example.com/
  git clone https://git.daplie.com/OAuth3/oauth3.js.git --branch v1.1 assets/oauth3.org

  mkdir -p .well-known
  ln -sf  ../assets/oauth3.org/.well-known/oauth3 .well-known/oauth3
popd

echo "seed@example.com" >> /srv/walnut/var/sites/$my_domain

popd

You will need to change the authenication provider/issuer URL from oauth3.org to the domain you've selected (i.e. provider.example.com)

vim /srv/walnut/packages/pages/seed@example.com/js/config.js
{ "azp@oauth3.org": { issuer_uri: 'provider.example.com', client_uri: 'example.com' } }

See Hello World

Now visit your site (i.e. https://example.com) and you will be able to login and access the hello world data.
