Unfortunately, OneBody cannot be installed on "shared hosting" due to the very specific software requirements. You'll need a dedicated server or Virtual Private Server (VPS) to get everything running. We recommend DigitalOcean, Amazon EC2, or your own in-house hardware.
We have many different ways to install OneBody, based on your expertise/needs. Choose your own path:
| Method | Difficulty | Time Needed | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Easy | ~ 10mins | Just a few clicks |
| Deb Package | Moderate | ~ 15mins | Use your own Ubuntu or Debian server |
| Amazon EC2 (AMI) | Moderate | ~ 15mins | Leverage Amazon's infrastructure |
| OVF (VirtualBox/VMWare) | Moderate | ~ 15mins* | Use your existing virtualization infrastructure |
| Manual | Advanced | ~ 1hr | Full control over your machine |
| Capistrano | Advanced | ~ 30mins | Automate your deployment and future upgrades |
*Plus the time it takes to download a 1 GiB file.
If you're not sure which way to go, or if you have any trouble, post to the Google Group and ask for help!
Based on how you chose to install OneBody, there is a different method for how you should go about upgrading your installation.
| Installation Method | How to Upgrade |
|---|---|
| Debian/Ubuntu Package |
apt-get update && apt-get install onebody and follow on-screen instructions (if any) |
| DigitalOcean installer / Amazon EC2 AMI / Virtual Appliance (OVF) | if dpkg -s onebody | grep Status says it's installed, then just run: apt-get update && apt-get install onebodyotherwise: How to Upgrade Manually |
| Manual install | How to Upgrade Manually |
| Capistrano |
cap deploy :-) |
Alternatively, if you'd rather install OneBody from a fresh download (using any of the techniques at the top of this page), you can then Upgrade by Copying Data from your old install to the new one.
If you installed using the DigitalOcean installer prior to March 21, 2016, you may wish to convert your install to use the Debian/Ubuntu package, which will make future upgrades much easier.
