How to Install Hauk on Ubuntu Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Hauk, a lightweight location-sharing app, on Ubuntu Server Latest. Hauk uses end-to-end encryption and allows you to share your location with others in real-time.

Prerequisites

Before installing Hauk, make sure you have the following:

Ubuntu Server Latest installed on your system
A user account with sudo privileges
A domain name or public IP address

Step 1: Install Required Dependancies

First of all, update your server with the latest packages:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade

After that, install the required dependencies using the following command:

sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-sqlite3 composer

Step 2: Download and Configure Hauk

Start by moving to the /var/www directory:
```
cd /var/www
```

Clone the Hauk GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk.git

Change the directory to the newly created Hauk directory:
```
cd Hauk
```
Install all the required dependencies:
```
composer install --no-dev
```
Rename the config.example.php file to config.php:
```
mv config.example.php config.php
```

Edit the config.php file and update the following variables based on your domain name:

$base_uri = "https://example.com/Hauk";
$secret_key = "q3DSyX9fj2muzPghcv5BRZpxt78M6KLW";

Replace example.com with your domain name and secret_key with a unique key. Save the file and exit.

Next, we need to create the store directory:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/Hauk/store
sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/Hauk/store

Step 3: Configure Apache Web Server

Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for Hauk:
```
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/hauk.conf
```

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName example.com
      Redirect permanent / https://example.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
      ServerName example.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/Hauk
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
      SSLEngine on
      SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
      SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name.

Enable the virtual host configuration:
```
sudo a2ensite hauk.conf
```
Restart the Apache web server:
```
sudo systemctl restart apache2
```

Step 4: Install Certbot SSL Certificate

Install Certbot:

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

Obtain SSL certificate:
```
sudo certbot --apache -d example.com
```
This command will obtain an SSL certificate for your domain name using Apache.

Verify that SSL certificate is enabled:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf

The file should contain the following lines:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
        SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
        SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1
        SSLCipherSuite TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
        SSLHonorCipherOrder off
</IfModule>

Save the file and exit.

Step 5: Verify Installation

Open your web browser and navigate to your domain (https://example.com/Hauk). You should see the Hauk login page. Enter the secret key and click on 'Continue'. You should now see the Hauk dashboard.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hauk on Ubuntu Server Latest.
