## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
We show how to deploy a free and open-source ecommerce on the ThreeFold Grid. We will be deploying on a full VM with an IPv4 address.
|
||||
|
||||
[nopCommerce](https://www.nopcommerce.com/en) is an open-source ecommerce platform based on Microsoft's ASP.NET Core framework and MS SQL Server 2012 (or higher) backend Database.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [A TFChain account](../../../dashboard/wallet_connector.md)
|
||||
- TFT in your TFChain account
|
||||
- [Buy TFT](../../../threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.md)
|
||||
- [Send TFT to TFChain](../../../threefold_token/tft_bridges/tfchain_stellar_bridge.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy a Full VM
|
||||
|
||||
We start by deploying a full VM on the ThreeFold Dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
* On the [Threefold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/), go to the [full virtual machine deployment page](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/virtual-machines/full-virtual-machine/)
|
||||
* Deploy a full VM (Ubuntu 22.04) with an IPv4 address and at least the minimum specs for a full VM
|
||||
* IPv4 Address
|
||||
* Minimum vcores: 1vcore
|
||||
* Minimum MB of RAM: 512MB
|
||||
* Minimum storage: 15GB
|
||||
* After deployment, note the VM IPv4 address
|
||||
|
||||
## Create an SSH Tunnel
|
||||
|
||||
We create an SSH tunnel with port 5432:80, as it is this combination that we will set for nopCommerce on the docker-compose file.
|
||||
|
||||
- Open a terminal and create an SSH tunnel
|
||||
```
|
||||
ssh -4 -L 5432:127.0.0.1:80 root@VM_IPv4_address>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Simply leave this window open and follow the next steps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparing the VM
|
||||
|
||||
We prepare the full to run nopCommerce.
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect to the VM via SSH
|
||||
```
|
||||
ssh root@VM_IPv4_address
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Update the VM
|
||||
```
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
```
|
||||
* [Install Docker](../../computer_it_basics/docker_basics.html#install-docker-desktop-and-docker-engine)
|
||||
* Install docker-compose
|
||||
```
|
||||
apt install docker-compose -y
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Set a Firewall
|
||||
|
||||
You can set a firewall to your VM for further security. This should be used in production mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the permissions
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
ufw allow 80
|
||||
ufw allow 443
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Enable the firewall
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
ufw enable
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Verify the fire wall status
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
ufw status verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Download nopCommerce
|
||||
|
||||
* Clone the repository
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce.git
|
||||
cd nopCommerce
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Build the image
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd nopCommerce
|
||||
docker-compose -f ./postgresql-docker-compose.yml build
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Run the image
|
||||
```
|
||||
docker-compose -f ./postgresql-docker-compose.yml up
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access nopCommerce
|
||||
|
||||
You can access the nopCommerce interface on a browser with port 5432 via the SSH tunnel:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
localhost:5432
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For more information on how to use nopCommerce, refer to the [nopCommerce docs](https://docs.nopcommerce.com/en/index.html).
|
||||
|
||||
## Install nopCommerce
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to set your ecommerce store and database information.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enter an email for your website (e.g. `admin@example.com`)
|
||||
- For the database, choose PostgreSQL and check both options `Create a database` and `Enter raw connection`. Enter the following information (as per the docker-compose information)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Server=nopcommerce_database;Port=5432;Database=nop;User Id=postgres;Password=nopCommerce_db_password;
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Note: For production, you will need to set your own username and password.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access the Ecommerce from the Public Internet
|
||||
|
||||
### Set a DNS Record
|
||||
|
||||
* Go to your domain name registrar
|
||||
* In the section **Advanced DNS**, add a **DNS A Record** to your domain and link it to the IP address of the VM you deployed on:
|
||||
* Type: A Record
|
||||
* Host: @
|
||||
* Value: <IPv4_Address>
|
||||
* TTL: Automatic
|
||||
* It might take up to 30 minutes to set the DNS properly.
|
||||
* To check if the A record has been registered, you can use a common DNS checker:
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
https://dnschecker.org/#A/example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Access the Ecommerce
|
||||
|
||||
You can now go on a web browser and access your website via your domain, e.g. `example.com`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### HTTPS with Caddy
|
||||
|
||||
We set HTTPS with Caddy.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install Caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https curl
|
||||
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
|
||||
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
apt install caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Set a reverse proxy on port 80 with your own domain
|
||||
```
|
||||
caddy reverse-proxy -r --from example.com --to :80
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see in the logs that it successfully obtains an SSL certificate, and after that you can try navigating to your site's domain again to verify it's working. Using a private window or adding `https://` specifically might be necessary until your browser drops its cache.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
When you're satisfied that everything looks good, hit `ctl-c` to exit Caddy and we'll proceed to making this persistent.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manage with Systemd
|
||||
|
||||
We create a systemd service to always run the reverse proxy for port 80.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a caddy service
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Set the service with your own domain
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Caddy Service
|
||||
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Restart=always
|
||||
RestartSec=5
|
||||
ExecStart=caddy reverse-proxy -r --from example.com --to :80
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Enable the service
|
||||
```
|
||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
systemctl enable caddy
|
||||
systemctl start caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Verify that the Caddy service is properly running
|
||||
```
|
||||
systemctl status caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Systemd will start up Caddy immediately, restart it if it ever crashes, and start it up automatically after any reboots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access Admin Panel
|
||||
|
||||
You can access the admin panel by clicking on `Log in` and providing the admin username and password set during the nopCommerce installation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In `Add your store info`, you can set the HTTPS address of your domain and enable SSL.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to properly configure your ecommerce instance for your own needs and products. Read the nopCommerce docs for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manage nopCommerce with Systemd
|
||||
|
||||
We create a systemd service to always run the nopCommerce docker-compose file.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a nopcommerce service
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano /etc/systemd/system/nopcommerce.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Set the service with your own domain
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=nopCommerce Service
|
||||
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Restart=always
|
||||
RestartSec=5
|
||||
StandardOutput=append:/root/nopcommerce.log
|
||||
StandardError=append:/root/nopcommerce.log
|
||||
ExecStart=docker-compose -f /root/nopCommerce/postgresql-docker-compose.yml up
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Enable the service
|
||||
```
|
||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
systemctl enable nopcommerce
|
||||
systemctl start nopcommerce
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Verify that the Caddy service is properly running
|
||||
```
|
||||
systemctl status nopcommerce
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Systemd will start up the nopCommerce docker-compose file, restart it if it ever crashes, and start it up automatically after any reboots.
|
||||

## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
We show how to deploy a free and open-source ecommerce on the ThreeFold Grid. We will be deploying on a micro VM with an IPv4 address.
|
||||
|
||||
[WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/) is the open-source ecommerce platform for [WordPress](https://wordpress.com/). The platform is free, flexible, and amplified by a global community. The freedom of open-source means you retain full ownership of your store’s content and data forever.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [A TFChain account](../../../dashboard/wallet_connector.md)
|
||||
- TFT in your TFChain account
|
||||
- [Buy TFT](../../../threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.md)
|
||||
- [Send TFT to TFChain](../../../threefold_token/tft_bridges/tfchain_stellar_bridge.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy Wordpress
|
||||
|
||||
We start by deploying Wordpress on the ThreeFold Dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
* On the [Threefold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/), go to the [Wordpress deloyment page](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/#/deploy/applications/wordpress/)
|
||||
* Deploy a Wordpress with an IPv4 address and sufficient resources to run Wordpress
|
||||
* IPv4 Address
|
||||
* Minimum vcores: 2vcore
|
||||
* Minimum MB of RAM: 4GB
|
||||
* Minimum storage: 50GB
|
||||
* After deployment, note the VM IPv4 address
|
||||
|
||||
## Set a DNS Record
|
||||
|
||||
* Go to your domain name registrar
|
||||
* In the section **Advanced DNS**, add a **DNS A Record** to your domain and link it to the IP address of the VM you deployed on:
|
||||
* Type: A Record
|
||||
* Host: @
|
||||
* Value: <IPv4_Address>
|
||||
* TTL: Automatic
|
||||
* It might take up to 30 minutes to set the DNS properly.
|
||||
* To check if the A record has been registered, you can use a common DNS checker:
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
https://dnschecker.org/#A/example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## HTTPS with Caddy
|
||||
|
||||
We set HTTPS with Caddy.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install Caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https curl
|
||||
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
|
||||
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
apt install caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Set a reverse proxy on port 80 with your own domain
|
||||
```
|
||||
caddy reverse-proxy -r --from example.com --to :80
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see in the logs that it successfully obtains an SSL certificate, and after that you can try navigating to your site's domain again to verify it's working. Using a private window or adding `https://` specifically might be necessary until your browser drops its cache.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're satisfied that everything looks good, hit `ctl-c` to exit Caddy and we'll proceed to making this persistent.
|
||||
|
||||
### Adjust the Firewall
|
||||
|
||||
By default, ufw is set on Wordpress application from the Dashboard. To use Caddy and set HTTPS, we want to allow port 443.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the permissions
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
ufw allow 443
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manage with zinit
|
||||
|
||||
We manage Caddy with zinit.
|
||||
|
||||
- Open the file for editing
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano /etc/zinit/caddy.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Insert the following line with your own domain and save the file
|
||||
```
|
||||
exec: caddy reverse-proxy -r --from example.com --to :80
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Add the new Caddy file to zinit
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
zinit monitor caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Zinit will start up Caddy immediately, restart it if it ever crashes, and start it up automatically after any reboots. Assuming you tested the Caddy invocation above and used the same form here, that should be all there is to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some other Zinit commands that could be helpful to troubleshoot issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- See status of all services (same as "zinit list")
|
||||
```
|
||||
zinit
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Get logs for a service
|
||||
```
|
||||
zinit log caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Restart a service (to test configuration changes, for example)
|
||||
```
|
||||
zinit stop caddy
|
||||
zinit start caddy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access Admin Panel
|
||||
|
||||
You can access the admin panel by clicking on `Admin panel` under `Actions` on the Dashboard. You can also use the following template on a browser with your own domain:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
example.com/wp-admin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you've forgotten your credentials, just open the Wordpress info window on the Dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install WooCommerce
|
||||
|
||||
On the Wordpress admin panel, go to `Plugins` and search for WooCommerce.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once this is done, you can open WooCommerce on the left-side menu.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can then set your store and start your online business!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
You might need to deactivate some plugins that aren't compatible with WooCommerce, such as `MailPoet`.
|
||||
