Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies that are required by Teedy. Open your terminal and type the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Next, install the required dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt-get install curl git nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx

Step 2: Install Teedy

Now that the dependencies are installed, we can download and install Teedy using the following commands:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/teedy
cd /opt/teedy
sudo curl -L https://git.io/teedy | sudo bash

Wait for the script to finish the installation process.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

To access Teedy from a web browser, create an Nginx configuration file for Teedy with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/teedy

Then, add the following content to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com; # replace with your domain name
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
} 

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name your_domain.com; # replace with your domain name
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/fullchain.pem; # replace with your domain name
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/privkey.pem; # replace with your domain name
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8330;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Enable the newly created teedy file with the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/teedy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Now, test the configuration with the following command:

sudo nginx -t

If the configuration is fine, restart Nginx with the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 4: Configure Firewall

To allow incoming traffic to Teedy, you need to configure the firewall. Run the following command:

sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443

Step 5: Access Teedy

Now you can access Teedy in your web browser by navigating to https://your_domain.com. Replace "your_domain.com" with your domain name.

You will be asked to create a new account for your Teedy instance.
