Setup as hosted by a public twister proxy (ubuntu 15.10)

First we install the 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 pull 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. If it's not busy anymore (cpu at around 10%) it's ready to use. Go to https://example.com/index.html where example.com is your domain and start twisting :-).

To stop twisterd and the proxy, run:
