## adding/deleting users

#### adding a user:

*("www-data" is the group name for website stuff on gandi)*

> *sudo useradd -G* ***www-data*** *-d /home/****username*** *-m -s /bin/bash* ***username***

***-G group*** adds the groups in a comma separated

***-d /home/username*** specifies the home directory to be created (necessary on ubuntu)

***-m*** flag to create scripts (necessary)

***-s /bin/bash*** what shell is to be used (default is none)

#### deleting a user

	userdel -r {username}
	
## IMPORTANT
### set users primary group

**this is critical**

	sudo usermod <username> -g www-data


### setting up ssh authentication

cat ~/.ssh/id\_rsa.pub | ssh **username@remote\_host**  "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized\_keys"

## apt-get commands

**to see the package version:**

	dpkg -s postgresql | grep Version	

# setting up gandi server

## creating the server instance

after logging in, go to the virtual machine setup tab under *services* -> *servers*

[virtual machine](https://www.gandi.net/admin/iaas/vm)

under "servers" click "create a server".   At the setup page you will have the option of either using an public ssh key, a password, or both.  Pick both.

1. generate a password
2. go to ~/.ssh and look for something like *id_rsa.pub*
3. to put in on the clipboard, on OSX type *cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy*
4. paste what's in the clipboard into the ssh input section
5. copy all this information down and start it up


## first steps with server

next follow the links under "gandi"

while you are doing the commands link *"first steps with gandi server"* you may want to do this command:

	su -c 'apt-get install sudo'
	su -c 'apt-get install vim'

after setting up "first steps with gandi server" above, you will want to configure visudo to use vim

### setup visudo

	su -c 'update-alternatives --config editor'
	
	su -c 'visudo'

find this line:
	
	USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
	
replace it with:

	admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
	
(or whatever user name you are mainly using)

## add new user

1. *sudo useradd -G* ***www-data*** *-d /home/****username*** *-m -s /bin/bash* ***username***
2. *mkdir projectdir*

### set users primary group

**this is critical**

	sudo usermod <username> -g www-data
	
### set password

	sudo passwd <username>

### setting up ssh authentication

cat ~/.ssh/id\_rsa.pub | ssh **username@remote\_host**  "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized\_keys"

### apt-get setup

	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get install aptitude

## postgres


#### links fix locale error with postgres

[could not connect to server solution](http://askubuntu.com/questions/50621/cannot-connect-to-postgresql-on-port-5432)

[locale solution](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346581)

[remote connecting](http://www.railszilla.com/postgresql-tcpip-connections-port-5432/coffee-break)

	sudo apt-get install postgresql
	sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib
	sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 hu_HU hu_HU.UTF-8
	sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
	sudo service postgresql restart
	sudo -u postgres psql postgres
	sudo -u postgres createdb **website_dbname**

	sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-X.Y
	sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.3
	
#### change password for db user "postgres"
	sudo -u postgres psql postgres
	
	ALTER USER Postgres WITH PASSWORD '<newpassword>';
		
#### set up postgresql to remote access

######(see "remote connecting" link above)

#####Note: be careful with this, because **anyone** will be able to mess around with it

1. sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf
2. find **listen\_addresses** and change it to **listen\_addresses = '\*'**
3. sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf
4. find **host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust** and change **127.0.0.1/32** to **0.0.0.0/0**
5. sudo service postgresql restart
6. test it by running: *psql -h* ***ip\_address*** *-U* ***username*** *-d* ***database***
7. e.g. psql -h 173.246.107.96 -U postgres postgres

### setup the /var/www directory

	cd /var
	sudo mkdir www
	sudo chgrp www-data www -R
	sudo chmod g+w www -R
	
### install python packages

	sudo apt-get install python-dev
	sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
	
	
## install and set up supervisor

	sudo apt-get install supervisor

make sure www-data is a group for the main user

	vim /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

add the following:

	[unix_http_server]
	file=/var/run//supervisor.sock
	chmod=0770
	chown=nobody:www-data

	[supervisorctl]
	serverurl=unix:///var/run//supervisor.sock
	chmod=0770
	chown=nobody:www-data
	
#### run the following commands:

	sudo service supervisor stop
	sudo service supervisor start
	
### install pip and virtualenv

[virtualenv install](http://roundhere.net/journal/virtualenv-ubuntu-12-10/)

	sudo apt-get install python-pip
	sudo pip install virtualenv
	sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
	
### install nginx
