This page describes the installation of the [http://cryptobox.org CryptoBox server] from sources in a openSUSE 10.2 environment. The server-package is primarily built for Debian but the source package also works in other Linux distributions. Unfortunately you have to fulfil some dependencies manually, which takes a bit more time.

CryptoBox server in openSUSE 10.2

Preparation

• Install the packages python-devel und gcc via yast. They are in the main openSUSE repository.

  • These two packages are just needed to install the CryptoBox dependent software and can be removed afterwards.

CherryPy 2.2

• Download the latest [http://download.cherrypy.org/cherrypy/2.2.1/ CherryPy version from the 2.2 branch] (here: 2.2.1) to /tmp and unpack and install it with the following commands:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf CherryPy-2.2.1.tar.gz
  cd CherryPy-2.2.1
  python setup.py install

Python Clearsilver

• Download the latest [http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/clearsilver-0.10.5.tar.gz ClearSilver Source Release] (here: 0.10.5) to /tmp and install it with the following commands:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf clearsilver-0.10.5.tar.gz
  cd clearsilver-0.10.5
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --diable-java --diable-perl --disable-csharp --disable-ruby --disable-apache --enable-gettext --with-python=/usr/bin/python
  make
  make install

super

• Download the [ftp://ftp.ucolick.org/pub/users/will/ latest version of "super"] (here 3.27.1) and install it. This allows to run the CryptoBox with a non-root uid.

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf super_3.27.1.orig.tar.gz
  ./configure
  make
  make install

Python ConfigObj

• Download a [http://packman.links2linux.de/package/python-configobj python-configobj.rpm] file from the packman openSUSE repository and install it with:

  rpm -i python-configobj-4.4.0-0.pm.1.i586.rpm

cryptsetup

• TODO: install cryptsetup

CryptoBox

• Puh after that you at least know the magic spell (./configure && make && make install) to install source packages and the Python way of installing software (python setup.py install).

• Now you're ready to get the latest [http://codecoop.org/frs/download.php/120/cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1.tar.gz CryptoBox server sources] (here 0.3.4.4-1) from codecoop and unpack it:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1.tar.gz
  cd cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1
  python setup.py install

• TODO

Finalization

• To have a complete working CryptoBox server you need some additional software which is probably already installed on your server.

  • samba
  • stunnel4
  • e2fsprogs
  • dosfstools

CryptoBox server in Debian/etch

Preparation

• If you for whatever reasons don't want to use the [http://codecoop.org/frs/?group_id=60&release_id=69 CryptoBox server Debian package], you need some preparations to use the source package or the code from the svn.

  apt-get install python python-central python-clearsilver python-cherrypy python-configobj python-m2crypto super cryptsetup e2fsprogs dosfstools

CryptoBox

• Get the sources, unpack and install them the Python way

  cd /tmp
  wget http://codecoop.org/frs/download.php/120/cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1.tar.gz
  tar zxf cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1.tar.gz
  cd cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1
  python setup.py install

Finalization

• Finally install some more useful software.

  apt-get install samba, apache2, stunnel4
