Github related issues with installing GenieACS

[Michael Ducharme]

Hi Rene,

We use GenieACS on Centos 7. We used the official node.js repository and it
worked fine. Also the problem is that you are installing genieacs from npm
which is an old version, so there is a mismatch with the gui version. You
should use genieacs current version from github rather than installing the
older version in the npm repository.

This is the procedure we used, if it is helpful. We actually used node.js
7.5.0 and it works fine, but the official recommendation I realize is for
6.x.

- Installed mongodb 3.4.0 from mongodb official repo
 then start mongodb
 systemctl start mongod

 had to add a fix to create the pid folder in /var/run otherwise mongod
cannot start after reboot since the pid folder disappears in tempfs

 - Installed node.js 7.5.0 from node.js official repo

useradd genieacs
su - genieacs
 - Installed and configured rbenv (ruby environment) from source AS
GENIEACS USER
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-with-rbenv-on-centos-7
     We used that except we installed ruby 2.4.0 instead of 2.2.1, and
rails 5.0.1 instead of rails 4.2.0

Then, still as the genieacs user:

git clone https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs

git clone https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs-gui

Then, log out of genieacs user (back in as root)

npm install -g coffee
npm install -g coffee-script
npm install -g --unsafe-perm libxmljs
npm install -g node-gyp
npm install -g redis
npm install -g redis-server

yum install redis

cd /home/genieacs/genieacs
npm install -g --unsafe-perm

chown -R genieacs:genieacs /usr/lib/node_modules/genieacs

mkdir /var/log/genieacs
chown genieacs:genieacs /var/log/genieacs

mkdir /opt/genieacs-gui
chown genieacs:genieacs /opt/genieacs-gui

Then go back in as genieacs user:

su - genieacs
cp -R /home/genieacs-gui /opt/genieacs-gui

cd /opt/genieacs-gui
cp config/graphs-sample.json.erb config/graphs.json.erb
cp config/index_parameters-sample.yml config/index_parameters.yml
cp config/summary_parameters-sample.yml config/summary_parameters.yml
cp config/parameters_edit-sample.yml config/parameters_edit.yml
cp config/parameter_renderers-sample.yml config/parameter_renderers.yml
cp config/roles-sample.yml config/roles.yml
cp config/users-sample.yml config/users.yml

bundle update json
bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
bundle

Then, create script to start genieacs (/home/genieacs/start-genieacs.sh):

#!/bin/bash
/bin/redis-server > /var/log/genieacs/redis-server.log 2>&1 &
/bin/genieacs-cwmp > /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-cwmp.log 2>&1 &
/bin/genieacs-nbi > /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-nbi.log 2>&1 &
/bin/genieacs-fs > /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-fs.log 2>&1 &

Then create script to start genieacs-gui
(/home/genieacs/start-genieacs-gui/sh):

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/genieacs-gui
rails server -b 0.0.0.0 > /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-gui.log 2>&1 &

to fix error in activesupport (key error must be 32 bytes) do the
following:

cd */home/genieacs/*.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/activesupport-5.0.0/lib/active_support

vi key_generator.rb

Make the following changes:
line 20:
-    def generate_key(salt, key_size = 64)
+    def generate_key(salt, key_size=32)

line 35 and 36:
-    def generate_key(*args)
-      @cache_keys[args.join] ||= @key_generator.generate_key(*args)
+    def generate_key(salt, key_size=32)
+      @cache_keys["#{salt}#{key_size}"] ||=
@key_generator.generate_key(salt, key_size)

now, for SSL:

https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs/wiki/GenieACS-SSL

Create certificate and key
openssl genrsa 1024 > key.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key key.pem > cert.pem

Copy cert.pem and key.pem to /usr/local/node_modules/genieacs/config
directory

In config directory create symlinks cwmp.crt -> cert.pem and cwmp.key ->
key.pem

In config directory edit config.json

change CWMP_SSL to true

Change FS_IP to reachable valid IP address (used for file server)

CPE auth:

In config folder, cp auth-sample.js auth.js
vi auth.js
Make up simple username/password in auth.js (ex mycpe/mycpepass)
