wget https://dist.torproject.org/tor-0.4.5.7.tar.gz
tar xzf tor-0.4.5.7.tar.gz

Compile Tor:

cd tor-0.4.5.7/

Create KeexyBox installation package

We explain here how to create KeexyBox archive for KeexyBox installation scripts.

Clone KeexyBox/installer from GitHub:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/keexybox/installer
mv installer keexybox-x.x.x

Create archives of extra softwares (that have been compiled and install above):

cd /opt/keexybox/
tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x/install_pkg/keexybox-bind.tar.gz bind
tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x/install_pkg/keexybox-tor.tar.gz tor
tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x/install_pkg/keexybox-dhcpd.tar.gz dhcpd
tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x/install_pkg/keexybox-hostapd.tar.gz hostapd

And then create archive for KeexyBox Application:

tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x/install_pkg/keexybox-keexyapp.tar.gz \
--exclude keexyapp/.git \
--exclude keexyapp/tmp \
--exclude keexyapp/logs \
--exclude keexyapp/config/app.php \
--exclude keexyapp/src/Shell/scripts/config.py keexyapp

Create final archive:

tar czf ~/keexybox-x.x.x.tar.gz --exclude keexybox-x.x.x/.git keexybox-x.x.x

Configure KeexyApp

We explain here how to configure KeexyBox manually to get it work.

Initialize KeexyBox's Databases

Run MySQL client:

mysql -u root -p

In MySQL:

CREATE DATABASE keexybox;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on keexybox.* to "keexybox"@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyPassword';
CREATE DATABASE keexybox_blacklist;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on keexybox_blacklist.* to "keexybox"@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyPassword';
CREATE DATABASE keexybox_logs;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on keexybox_logs.* to "keexybox"@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyPassword';

:!: You have to replace MyPassword by you own database password.

Import Schema and Keexybox DB config:

mysql -u root -p keexybox < /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/schema/keexybox.sql
mysql -u root -p keexybox_blacklist < /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/schema/keexybox_blacklist.sql
mysql -u root -p keexybox_logs < /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/schema/keexybox_logs.sql
mysql -u root -p keexybox < /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/schema/keexybox.config.sql

Setup KeexyApp DB config

Copy config template file with replacement:

sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_HOST/127.0.0.1/g" /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/app.template.php |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_USER/keexybox/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_PASSWORD/MyPassword/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_DATABASE/keexybox/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_BLACKLIST_HOST/127.0.0.1/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_BLACKLIST_USER/keexybox/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_BLACKLIST_PASSWORD/MyPassword/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_BLACKLIST_DATABASE/keexybox_blacklist/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_LOGS_HOST/127.0.0.1/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_LOGS_USER/keexybox/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_LOGS_PASSWORD/MyPassword/g" |
sed "s/CHANGE_DATABASE_KEEXYBOX_LOGS_DATABASE/keexybox_logs/g" > /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/config/app.php

:!: You have to replace MyPassword by you own database password.

Reset admin password and create default profile

Create admin account with password MyPassword:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake users UpdateAdminPassword MyPassword

Create default connection profile:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake profiles ResetDefaultProfile

Configure Apache HTTP server

Generate certificate:

mkdir /opt/keexybox/ssl
/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake config certificate generate

Generate Apache configuration files:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake config apache all

Enable modules on apache:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load
ln -s ../mods-available/ssl.load

Start apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Set permissions and misc actions

Create logrotate configuration:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake config logrotate all

Set sudoers:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/bin/cake config sudoers all
/etc/init.d/sudo restart

Set permissions for KeexyBox:

/opt/keexybox/keexyapp/src/Shell/scripts/pre-startup-keexybox.sh

KeexyBox startup script:

cd /etc/init.d/
ln -s /opt/keexybox/keexyapp/src/Shell/scripts/init_keexybox keexybox

If you want to start KeexyBox on startup:

update-rc.d keexybox defaults

Configuration from WebUI

Access the KeexyBox's Web interface by the current IP address of your Raspberry. For example:

http://192.168.1.254:8001

Configure Network and DHCP:

Go to Advanced config page. Example:

http://192.168.1.254:8001/config/advanced
