Linkwarden: Update > 2.8.2 needs Monolith

[MickLesk]

Hello,

if you update Linkwarden to a newer Version as 2.8.2 you need "Monolith" as Dependency.

Here is an short guide to install monolith:

Before:

• Check your hdd storage for the LXC. Cargo needs some ressources. Best is, to increase to 12GB Storage

1. Install Cargo & make dependency

apt-get install -y \
  make \
  cargo

2. Install Monolith with cargo

cargo install monolith
echo 'export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH' >>~/.bashrc
export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH

3. Reboot LXC

Thanks mate

[knario]

thank you very much for all your help. It has worked very well.
Have a wonderful week.

[Schinken6]

Thanks for the help.
Will this be included in the script at some point or does this always have to be done manually?

[MickLesk]

Only for new Installations include

[rrik]

This only needs to be done on new installations? Or, is monolith included on all new installations going forward?

[MickLesk]

New Install. Include this.

I tried installing using the script, but monolith won't install because the script installs version 1.75.0 of rustc whereas 1.80.0 or higher is require. I tried to modify the script to add the following:

msg_ok "Updating rustc"
$STD curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
msg_ok "Updated rustc"

line 40, just before it installs monolith, but that didn't work. I'm not a scripting expert and it tried to install everything on my proxmox server instead of creating a new lxc. I don't know what I did to cause that. Can you give me some direction on inserting this correctly so I can get this up and running?

Forgot to add...This is the error I get when using the script to setup the lxc...

Downloaded 158 crates (22.6 MB) in 1.24s (largest was openssl-src at 10.0 MB)
error: failed to compile monolith v2.8.3, intermediate artifacts can be found at /tmp/cargo-installoeHlyV.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable CARGO_TARGET_DIR to that path.

Try re-running cargo install with --locked
⠦
[ERROR] in line 41: exit code 0: while executing command $STD cargo install monolith

based on my doing some searching, this leads me to see that the wrong version of rustc is being installed.

Also did not have any luck with the current script for fresh install.
Ended up doing a manual install, wasn't so bad.

Until the script is fixed, leaving the steps here if you want to try them.

First I created a PostgreSQL LXC, including adminer (used adminer to create a new empty linkwarden database)

Then an Ubutnu LXC (for linkwarden manual install)
Used advanced settings during install and mirrored the Linkwarden script setup (Disk: 12, RAM: 2048, Core: 2)

Commands to run within Ubuntu (Linkwarden) LXC

Add Yarn APT repository to your system:

apt-get install -y gnupg
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

Update your package list:

apt-get update

Install the required dependencies:

apt-get install -y \
git \
nodejs \
npm \
cargo \
postgresql-client

Now clone the repository into your container:

git clone https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden.git
cd linkwarden

Install Yarn:

apt-get install -y yarn

Install project dependencies with Yarn:

yarn
npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
yarn playwright install

Generate a secret for the next step:

node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"

Configure the Environment Variables:

cp .env.sample .env
nano .env

NEXTAUTH_SECRET=<generated_secret>
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://<linkwarden_ip>:3000/api/v1/auth
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:<password>@<postgresql_ip>:5432/<database_name>

Verify linkwarden connection (optional):

PGPASSWORD=<password> psql -h <postgresql_ip> -U postgres -d <database_name>

\q

Build and setup the database:

cd /root/linkwarden
yarn build
yarn prisma migrate deploy
yarn prisma generate

Fire it up:

yarn start

---

Set Up the Systemd Service to trigger yarn start

nano /etc/systemd/system/linkwarden.service

[Unit]
Description=Linkwarden App
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/root/linkwarden
ExecStart=/usr/bin/yarn start
Restart=always
User=root
Group=root
Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Environment=NODE_ENV=production

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload systemd to Recognize the New Service:

systemctl daemon-reload

Enable the Service to Start on Boot:

systemctl enable linkwarden.service

Reboot the container.

Getting the below error, any help is appreciated! TIA!

3. Reboot LXC

Hey! Still facing issues while trying to get the script to run.

Are you able to point out in which step to take first?

For e.g. Run the script in Proxmox Shell, towards the end of LXC creation it would error out. What next from here?

Would appreciate a hand. Thankyou

RIP @tteck The Master. We miss you.

[BBT-nZ]

I followed the steps to the letter.

1. Ran your commands first in Proxmox Shell. Once completed checked the rust version.
2. Ran the LXC script creation command under Proxmox Shell.

It fails at this step.

Before the other:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

source $HOME/.cargo/env

[BBT-nZ]

I just removed everything and ran the prompts in the order below under Proxmox Shell:

1. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs/ | sh

source $HOME/.cargo/env

2. apt-get install -y \ make \ cargo

3. cargo install monolith echo 'export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH' >>~/.bashrc export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH

4. Reboot LXC

[MickLesk]

rustup update

rustc --version

(its 1.80?)

rustup install 1.80.0
rustup default 1.80.0

[BBT-nZ]

Just wanted to hop in provide an update. I've now completely remove rust and cargo from my Proxmox Shell to start fresh. Before i do so, are you able to share in numerical order what commands to execute? Thanks a bunch for all your help so far.
