This page describe step by step how to do a basic installation of Domestik server.

1. Dowload the tarball from Sourceforge and install in in /usr/local (it will create /usr/local/Domestik).
   Alternatively, you may use an SVN snapshot.
2. Ensure /usr/local/Domestik/Server/Avatars is writable by Apache process' group. If Apache group is www-data, you should use following lines.

cd /usr/local
tar xjvf /tmp/Domestik_0.2b.tar.bz2
chgrp www-data Domestik/Server/Web/Avatars/
chmod g+w Domestik/Server/Web/Avatars/

3. add /usr/local/Domestik/Server/share/Apache2/Domestik.conf to apache's configuration.

On Gentoo, you have to :

ln -s /usr/local/Domestik/Server/share/Apache2/Domestik.conf /etc/apache2/
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Then include this file into your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Domestik's GUI relies on Gome's icons which are normally installed in /usr/share/icons/gnome/ . Even if you're using another desktop environment which is based on GTK (LXDE, XFCE), there is chances these icons are already installed as well ...

If it's not the case, you may install them manually : on Gentoo it's

emerge gnome-icon-theme

Creating the www database and user, ... everything related to PostgreSQL administration tasks is out of the scope of this documentation.

4. Logon the www database and run scripts from /usr/local/Domestik/Server/Sql/PostgreSQL/ as bellow :
• Common.sql : Mandatory and have to be installed first - creates Domestik's own environment.
• *.sql : Optional - declare objects for each probes. You may refine only to the ones you're using ... (obviously, it's harmless to install everything)

As example :

$ cd /usr/local/Domestik/Server/Sql/PostgreSQL/
laurent@bidule /usr/local/Domestik/Server/Sql/PostgreSQL $ psql www
psql (9.1.5)
