This guide will show you how to install all essential components of webtor backend api to local k8s cluster.

Minimum system requirements

vCPU: 4 RAM: 4GB

Short way at Ubuntu

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvbishan/helm-charts/master/scripts/get-webtor.sh | sh

This will install single-node microk8s cluster and setup webtor on it (api + web-ui).

Update

To update webtor components to the latest stable versions just use the following script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webtor-io/helm-charts/master/scripts/update-webtor.sh | sh

Long way [DEPRECATED]

Let's start:

1. Install Minikube and check it:

   % kubectl get no
   NAME       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
   minikube   Ready    master   23h   v1.17.0
   

   (Tested with VirtualBox (Windows/Linux) and HyperKit (Mac) drivers)

2. Install Helm and init it and check it:

   % helm version
   Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.15.1", GitCommit:"cf1de4f8ba70eded310918a8af3a96bfe8e7683b", GitTreeState:"clean"}
   Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.15.1", GitCommit:"cf1de4f8ba70eded310918a8af3a96bfe8e7683b", GitTreeState:"clean"}
   

3. Install Helmfile and check it:

   % helmfile -v
   helmfile version v0.90.2
   

4. Install helm-diff

5. Add Webtor charts repository with:

   helm repo add webtor https://charts.webtor.io
   
   

6. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/webtor-io/helm-charts.git
   

7. Run Helmfile there:

   helmfile apply
   
   

8. Check installation, all pods should be started at webtor namespace

   % kubectl get po -n webtor
   NAME                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   content-prober-ddcfcf847-cmbt9   1/1     Running   0          37s
   magnet2torrent-5df84c855-2c8t6   1/1     Running   0          34s
   redis-master-0                   1/1     Running   0          35s
   torrent-http-proxy-mwktl         1/1     Running   0          37s
   torrent-store-65c6bd4659-jjfqf   1/1     Running   0          34s
   ...
   

9. Get api url at last!

   % minikube service torrent-http-proxy --url -n webtor
   http://192.168.64.3:30749
   

   and check it:

   % curl -I http://192.168.64.3:30749
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:44:43 GMT
   

   it will return "Internal Server Error" for direct calls.

That's all!

For update do next three things:

git pull
helm repo update
helmfile apply

Adjusting components

Every component can be configured separately by providing your own configuration file. For example if you wish to reconfigure web-ui you have to do the following:

1. Add web-ui.yaml file to the same folder where your helmfile.yaml located
2. Adjust configuration in web-ui.yaml
3. helmfile apply

Secure your API

Just put additional file called clients.yaml in the same directory where your helmfile.yaml located with the following content:

clients:
  - name: client1
    apiKey: client1-api-key
    secret: client1-secret

Don't forget to change values of name, apiKey and secret.

Also make sure that you have the latest version of helmfile.yaml.

And do helmfile apply to apply changes.

After this, all requests to the API will require auth-token. It is simple JWT-token. Also it is possible to pass additional params in token payload such as:

1. rate - this will do rate limitting (could be '1M', '10M' and so on, bits per second)
2. agent - User-Agent
3. remoteAddress - remote IP-address
4. sessionID - some generated session ID, it should be provided for more precise rate-limitting

If agent and remoteAddress are defined there will be additional check to prevent user from url-sharing.
