Pyspades for linux

[KomradeKorakoff]

Does anybody have knowledge on compiling pyspades on Linux VPS? Specifically Ubuntu 11.04, if not gentoo or CentOS. A couple methods I've tried on the pyspades wiki for Ubuntu failed.

• Step 1: "sudo aptitude install python-dev build-essential python-pip mercurial screen" (if you don't already have these packages).
• Step 2: Create a new account for hosting the AoS server. "adduser aceofspades" (It is vital that you do this so that if someone manages to compromise pyspades, they won't have root access!!!)
• Step 3: Without logging out of root, you can "sudo su aceofspades" to get directly into your aceofspades account from root.
• Step 4: Run "hg clone https://code.google.com/p/pyspades/"
• Step 5: The following is a direct dump of the python packages installed on Goon Haven 1. If you "pip install" each of these packages, you should be more than good to go (note: you may have to sudo, so type "exit" to return to the root account).
  

  Code: Select all

  Cython
GnuPGInterface
Twisted
command-not-found
distribute
mercurial
pyasn1
pycrypto
python-apt
simple-json
simplejson
ufw
unattended-upgrades
virtualenv
wsgiref
zope.interface


• Step 6: While under the aceofspades account (use the "sudo su aceofspades" command), change directories to your pyspades directory and run build.sh by typing "./build.sh". If it doesn't work, then type "chmod +x build.sh". If you get compile errors, make sure you installed all of the packages listed above.
• Step 7: Now type "chmod +x run_server.sh".
• Step 8: Check to make sure pyspades works. Type "./run_server.sh". If it comes up with errors, exit pyspades by hitting CONTROL-C and check your config or possibly anything else that may impede server execution. Once it runs successfully, exit it again. We're going to use screen to run it now.
• Step 9: Type the following command: "screen -S aos ./run_server.sh". A new console will open up for you with pyspades working. If it just says "[screen has terminated]", then pyspades isn't working correctly, and you should repeat Step 8 until pyspades runs without errors.
• Step 10: Press CONTROL-AD (both A and D at the same time), and you will detach from the console. Now you can safely log out without pyspades terminating when you exit.

Last minute tips:

• If you wish to open up the pyspades console again, type "screen -raAd aos".
• If you wish to terminate pyspades for an update or whatever reason, use the resume command in the previous point and then hit CONTROL-C. This will send a keyboardinterrupt to pyspades and cause it to close.
• To update pyspades, terminate pyspades and run "hg pull && hg update -C" in your pyspades directory. NOTE THAT IF YOU MADE ANY CHANGES TO PYSPADES, THEY'LL BE OVERWRITTEN (this should not overwrite your config, but I would make backups just in case)!
• If you have changes that you don't want to be overwritten, then use this command instead: "hg pull && hg update". This may prompt you to make manual merges with vim, though.

When I try to use *any* screen commands, I get this.

Code: Select all

Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.

Also, half of the packages didn't work while pip install

Whoops. My bad. Use this command to fix: "script /dev/null" before using screen commands.

Also, half of the packages didn't work while pip install

A lot of them are dependencies and get installed when you install other packages in the list.
