## Introduction

An ecosystem to ease  free software hosting \o/

We are working on bootstrapping an ecosystem of tools to facilitate the hosting of free software.
Think of it as
 - [ISPconfig](https://www.ispconfig.org/)
 - FLOSS [cpanel](https://www.cpanel.net/products/)
 - [cloudron](https://cloudron.io/) with email


  * Libre.sh V1 (Stable) is using docker-compose 
  * Libre.sh V2 (Alpha) is using [kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/).


This ecosystem can be deployed on [Raspberries](https://kubecloud.io/setting-up-a-kubernetes-1-11-raspberry-pi-cluster-using-kubeadm-952bbda329c8) or on popular cloud providers and scale globally or anything in between. 
We can affirm that V2 scales globally because it is based on kubernetes, a tool developped from the experience of Google hosting containers at scale.

## Installation



To install it, follow the instructions in `INSTALL_LINUX.md` : https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose.libre.sh/blob/master/INSTALL_LINUX.md

Or run our installer script 

https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose.libre.sh/raw/master/install.linux.sh

### What is libre.sh

libre.sh is a little framework to host Docker. It is simple and modular and respect the convention over configuration paradigm.

This is aimed at Hosters to manage a huge amount of different web application, and a quantity of domain names related with emails and so on.

It is currently installed at 3 different hosters in production and hosting ~20 different web applications, with ~500 containers.

Once well installed, in one bash command, you'll be able to:
 - buy a domain name
 - configure DNS for it
 - configure email for it
 - configure dkim for that domain
 - configure dmarc for that domain
 - configure autoconfig for that domain
 - install and start a web application on that domain (WordPress, Nextcloud, piwik...)
 - provision a TLS cert on that domain

Amazing, right?

### Modular

The PaaS is really modular, that's why it contains the strict necessary, then you'll probably want to add `system` modules or `applications`.

It contains 2 [unit-files](https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose.libre.sh/tree/master/unit-files) to manage system modules and applications, start them at boot, and load the appropriate environment.

### Support

You can use the following channels to request community support:
 - [mailinglist/forum](https://forum.indie.host/t/about-the-libre-sh-category/71)
 - [chat](https://riot.allmende.io/#/room/#libre.sh:matrix.allmende.io)

All of this is hosted by libre.sh :)

## System modules

Here is a list of modules supported:
 - https proxy:
   - [HAProxy](https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose/haproxy)
   - [Nginx](https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose/nginx)
 - [monitoring](https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose/monitoring)
 - [git-puller](https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose/git-puller)

Go to their respective page for more details.

### To install and start a module:

```
cd /system/
git clone https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/compose/[module]
cd module
libre enable
libre start
```

## Applications

### Installation

To install application `wordpress` on `example.org`, first make point example.org to your server IP, and then, just run:

```
libre provision -a github.com/indiehosters/wordpress -u example.org -s
```

Run `libre provision` for more details on the capabilities of the script.

## To debug a module or an application:

```
libre ps
libre logs -f --tail=100
libre stop
libre restart
```
