Installing Tolgee on Debian Latest

Tolgee is a localization and translation management platform that allows developers to manage translations for their applications more efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tolgee on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

A server running Debian Latest
A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1 - Update System Packages

Start by updating the system packages on your Debian Latest server. This will ensure that you have the latest security updates and bug fixes.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2 - Install Node.js

Tolgee requires Node.js to be installed on your system. Follow these steps to install Node.js on your system:

Add the NodeSource APT repository to your system:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -

Install Node.js:
```
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
```
Verify that Node.js is installed correctly:
```
node -v
```
This should output the version number of Node.js.

Step 3 - Install Tolgee

Now that Node.js is installed on your system, you can proceed with installing Tolgee. Follow these steps to install Tolgee:

Install the Tolgee CLI:
```
sudo npm install -g @tolgee/cli
```
Create a directory for Tolgee and navigate to it:
```
mkdir tolgee && cd tolgee
```
Initialize a new Tolgee project:
```
tolgee init
```
Follow the prompts to configure your Tolgee project.
Start the Tolgee server:
```
tolgee start
```
Access the Tolgee web interface by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Step 4 - Configure Tolgee to Run as a Service

To ensure that Tolgee continues to run even after you log out of your SSH session, you can configure Tolgee to run as a service. Follow these steps to configure Tolgee to run as a service:

Create a new Systemd service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/tolgee.service

Paste the following contents into the file:

[Unit]
Description=Tolgee Server

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /path/to/tolgee/start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace /path/to/tolgee/start with the absolute path to your Tolgee start script.
Save and close the file.
Reload the Systemd configuration:
```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
Start the Tolgee service:
```
sudo systemctl start tolgee
```
Verify that the Tolgee service is running:
```
sudo systemctl status tolgee
```
This should output the status of the Tolgee service. If the service has started successfully, the output should say active and include a process ID.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tolgee on Debian Latest and configured it to run as a service.
