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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean Installer | Easy | ~ 10mins | Just two clicks |
| [[Deb Package | Install Deb Package (Debian and Ubuntu)]] | Moderate | ~ 15mins |
| [[Amazon EC2 (AMI) | Amazon AMI]] | Moderate | ~ 15mins |
| [[OVF (VirtualBox/VMWare) | Virtual Appliance]] | Moderate | ~ 15mins* |
| [[Manual | Manual Installation]] | Advanced | ~ 1hr |
| [[Capistrano | Deployment with Capistrano]] | Advanced | ~ 30mins |
*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, join the Slack chat or 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 |
| Manual install | instructions for manually upgrading |
| 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.
