Setup as hosted by a public twister proxy

First we install basic dependecies

apt-get update
apt-get install -y git curl nodejs nodejs-legacy npm
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Now we pull twister-core

git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git

mkdir ~/.twister
echo -e "rpcuser=user\nrpcpassword=pwd\nhtmldir=~/twister-react" > ~/.twister/twister.conf
chmod 600 ~/.twister/twister.conf

Next are this repo and twister-proxy

git clone https://github.com/Tschaul/twister-react.git
git clone https://github.com/digital-dreamer/twister-proxy.git

npm install -g forever

We setup twister-proxy and pull the settings from this repo

cd twister-proxy
npm install
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tschaul/twister-react/master/docker/settings.json > settings.json
cd ..

Next we need the start script from this repo and set the correct rights.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tschaul/twister-react/master/docker/run.sh > run.sh
chmod 777 run.sh

For https to work we need certificates.

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt

./letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone

letsencrypt will ask you to provide an email address and your domain. It will then save your certificates in /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/ where example.com is your domain.

As last step we have to tell twister-proxy where the certificates are

nano twister-proxy/settings.json

Inside "Server" replace example.com by your domain in a the "ssl_*" properties. Press Crtl+O to save and then Crtl+X to exit.

Now we can start it up. When starting for the first time it will pull the twister docker-image.

./run.sh

twisterd now needs a while (10min to 1h depending on your connection) to download the blockchain. You can check top to see if twisterd is still busy.
