Classic setup

1. Install Node.js and postgreSQL

   curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
   apt-get install -y nodejs postgresql
   

   source

2. Install Gancio

   npm install --global gancio
   

3. Create a database (optional as you can use sqlite, but recommended)

   sudo -u postgres psql
   postgres=# create database gancio;
   postgres=# create user gancio with encrypted password 'gancio';
   postgres=# grant all privileges on database gancio to gancio;
   

4. Create a user to run gancio from

   adduser gancio
   su gancio
   

5. Test & launch interactive setup

   gancio --help
   gancio setup --config config.json
   

6. Start

   gancio --help
   gancio start --config config.json
   

7. Point your web browser to http://localhost:13120 or where you selected during setup.

8. Setup nginx as a proxy

9. Deploy in production
   If you don’t use the docker way, in production you should use something like pm2:

sudo npm install --global pm2
pm2 gancio start --config config.json
