This document covers the installation steps for meta.sr.ht, the central authentication and account management service for SourceHut.

#Installation

#Installation

Familiarize yourself with the general installation documentation before getting started.

• Sample config.ini file

#Daemons

The following daemons are available in the meta.sr.ht package:

• meta.sr.ht — The web service.
• meta.sr.ht-api — The API service.

Enable and start them like so:

# service meta.sr.ht start
# service meta.sr.ht-api start
# rc-update add meta.sr.ht
# rc-update add meta.sr.ht-api

#Cronjobs

Install a cronjob to run meta.sr.ht-daily as the meta user daily. For example:

0 * * * * chronic meta.sr.ht-daily

Note that if billing is enabled, this cronjob, among other tasks, will charge accounts due for payment.

#Billing

To enable the billing system, install the separate meta.sr.ht-billing package and fill in the meta.sr.ht::billing section of config.ini. You need a working Stripe account to collect payments.

#Users

To create users, use meta.sr.ht-manageuser. For example, to create an administrator:

meta.sr.ht-manageuser -t admin -e <email> <username>
