## Installation
Installation of Shynet is easy! Follow the [Basic Installation](#basic-installation) guide or the [Basic Installation with Docker Compose](#basic-installation-with-docker-compose) below for a minimal installation, or if you are going to be running Shynet over HTTPS through a reverse proxy. If you'd like to run Shynet over HTTPS without a reverse proxy, skip ahead to [Installation with SSL](#installation-with-ssl) instead.

## Advanced Usage
### Installation with SSL
If you are going to be running Shynet through a reverse proxy, please see [Configuring a Reverse Proxy](#configuring-a-reverse-proxy) instead.
0. We'll be cloning this into the home directory to make this installation easier, so run `cd ~/` if you need to.
1. Instead of pulling from Docker, we will be pulling from GitHub and building using Docker in order to easily add SSL certificates. You will want to run `git clone https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet.git` to clone the GitHub repo to your current working directory.
2. To install `certbot` follow [the guide here](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions) or follow along below
* Ubuntu 18.04
* `sudo apt-get update`
* `sudo apt-get install software-properties-common`
* `sudo add-apt-repository universe`
* `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot`
* `sudo apt-get update`
* `sudo apt-get install certbot`
3. Run `sudo certbot certonly --standalone` and follow the instructions to generate your SSL certificate.
* If you registering the certificate to a domain name like `example.com`, please be sure to point your DNS records to your current server before running `certbot`.
4. We are going to move the SSL certificates to the Shynet repo with with command below. Replace `<domain>` with the domain name you used in step 3.
* `cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/{cert,privkey}.pem ~/shynet/shynet/`
5. With that, we are going to replace the `webserver.sh` with `ssl.webserver.sh` to enable the use of SSL certificates. The original `webserver.sh` will be backed up to `backup.webserver.sh`
* `mv ~/shynet/shynet/webserver.sh ~/shynet/shynet/backup.webserver.sh`
* `mv ~/shynet/shynet/ssl.webserver.sh ~/shynet/shynet/webserver.sh`
6. Now we build the image!
* `docker image build shynet -t shynet-ssl:latest`
7. Have a PostgreSQL server ready to go. This can be on the same machine as the deployment, or elsewhere. You'll just need a username, password, host, and port (default is `5432`). (For info on how to setup a PostgreSQL server on Ubuntu, follow [this guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-18-04)).
8. Follow the [Basic Installation](#basic-installation) guide with just one modification: in step #4, change the local bind port from `80` to `443`, and use `shynet-ssl:latest` as your Docker image instead of `milesmcc/shynet:latest`.
### Configuring a Reverse Proxy
A reverse proxy has many benefits. It can be used for DDoS protection, caching files to reduce server load, routing HTTPS and/or HTTP connections, hosting multiple services on a single server, [and more](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/glossary/reverse-proxy/)!
