Important Notes

Before installing, read the Hubzilla installation instructions for important information about

  • SSL certificate validation requirement (now with support for Let's Encrypt!). See Installation section below.
  • Dedicated domain (must install under web root like https://hub.example.com/ not https://example.com/hub/ )
  • Required packages (all of these are not yet installed by this YunoHost installer package). This YunoHost package installs the following additional packages:
    • php5-cli
    • php5-imagick
    • php5-gd
    • php5-mcrypt
  • This package requires a system-wide change to php.ini that enables the exec() perimission. See the PHP manual for more information.

Installation

Register a new domain and add it to YunoHost

Hubzilla requires a dedicated domain, so obtain one and add it using the YunoHost admin panel. Domains -> Add domain. As Hubzilla uses the full domain and is installed on the root, you can create a subdomain such as hubzilla.domain.tld. Don't forget to update your DNS if you manage them manually.

Hubzilla requires browser-approved SSL certificates. If you have certificates not issued by Let's Encrypt, install them manually as usual.

YunoHost >= 2.5 :

Once the dedicated domain has been added to YunoHost, go again to the admin panel, go to domains then select your domain and click on "Install Let's Encrypt certificate".

Yunohost < 2.5 :

For older versions of YunoHost, once you have added the new domain, SSH into your YunoHost server and perform the following steps:

  1. Install certbot to make installing free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt simple.

  2. Stop nginx

     service nginx stop

  3. Run the certbot utility with the certonly option

     certbot certonly

  4. Copy the generated certificate and key into the appropriate location for YunoHost to use

     cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/fullchain.pem /etc/yunohost/certs/YOUR_DOMAIN/crt.pem
 cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/privkey.pem /etc/yunohost/certs/YOUR_DOMAIN/key.pem

  5. Restart nginx

     service nginx start

Install the Hubzilla application

Use the YunoHost admin panel to install Hubzilla by entering the GitHub repo address in the custom app URL

	https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/hubzilla_ynh

Make sure to select your domain from the previous section as the application domain.

When installation is complete, you will need to visit your new hub's page and login with the admin account which was entered at the time of installation process. You should then be able to create your first channel and have the admin rights for the hub.
For normal YunoHost users:Normal LDAP users can login through Ldap authentication and create there channels.
If admin don't see the admin rights:If admin don't see the admin rights in your nav bar drop down menu or want to grant admin rights to any other user(s) on the hub then you have to manually add 4096 to the account_roles under accounts for that user in the database through phpMYAdmin.
