Installation

For Docker User

The docker image is already available, you can use the following command to run the bark server:

docker run -dt --name bark -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`/bark-data:/data finab/bark-server

If you use the docker-compose tool, you can copy docker-copose.yaml under this project to any directory and run it:

mkdir bark-server && cd bark-server
curl -sL https://git.io/JvSRl > docker-compose.yaml
docker-compose up -d

For General User

• 1、Download precompiled binaries from the releases page
• 2、Add executable permissions to the bark-server binary: chmod +x bark-server
• 3、Start bark-server: ./bark-server --addr 0.0.0.0:8080 --data ./bark-data
• 4、Test the server: curl localhost:8080/ping

Note: Bark-server uses the /data directory to store data by default. Make sure that bark-server has permission to write to the /data directory, otherwise use the -d option to change the directory.

For Developer

Developers can compile this project by themselves, and the dependencies required for compilation:

• Golang 1.16+
• Go Mod Enabled(env GO111MODULE=on)
• Go Mod Proxy Enabled(env GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn)
• make Installed

Run the following command to compile this project:

# Cross compile all platforms
make

# Or install into the local GOPATH
make install

Nginx Proxy

Most users want to deploy the bark server on the intranet server, and then use Nginx to reverse proxy the bark server; here is a simple Nginx configuration example (we assume that the bark server is listening at 192.168.1.123:8080)

# generated 2020-03-26, Mozilla Guideline v5.4, nginx 1.17.7, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, modern configuration
# https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx&version=1.17.7&config=modern&openssl=1.1.1d&guideline=5.4
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    # Replace bark.app.dev with your real domain name.
    server_name bark.app.dev;

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    # Replace bark.app.dev with your real domain name.
    server_name bark.app.dev;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/signed_cert_plus_intermediates;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/private_key;
    ssl_session_timeout 1d;
    ssl_session_cache shared:MozSSL:10m;  # about 40000 sessions
    ssl_session_tickets off;

    # modern configuration
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.3;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;

    # HSTS (ngx_http_headers_module is required) (63072000 seconds)
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000" always;

    # OCSP stapling
    ssl_stapling on;
    ssl_stapling_verify on;

    # verify chain of trust of OCSP response using Root CA and Intermediate certs
    ssl_trusted_certificate /path/to/root_CA_cert_plus_intermediates;

    # replace with the IP address of your resolver
    #resolver 127.0.0.1;

    location / {

        log_not_found on;
        # Replace http://192.168.1.123:8080 with the listening address of the bark server.
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.123:8080;

        proxy_read_timeout 300;
        proxy_connect_timeout 300;
        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_set_header Host              $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP         $remote_addr;

    }
}

Use MySQL instead of Bbolt

Just run the server with -dsn=user:pass@tcp(mysql_host)/bark, it will use MySQL instead of file database Bbolt

Development environment

This project requires at least the golang 1.12 version to compile and requires Go mod support.

• Golang 1.16
• GoLand 2020.3 or other Go IDE
• Docker(Optional)

Update

Now the push certificate embedded in the program will never expire. You only need to update the program if the push fails due to the expired certificate.
