Installation

Installation needs to be done as root

Clone Project

Place the project in the opt directory

~$ cd /opt/
~$ git clone https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi.git Shinobi

Update SQL Scripts

I had issues with the default installation scripts so I had to make a few changes.

~$ vim /opt/Shinobi/sql/user.sql
CREATE USER 'majesticflame'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ccio.* TO 'majesticflame'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Install Shinobi

~$ cd /opt/Shinobi
~$ chmod +x INSTALL/ubuntu.sh && INSTALL/ubuntu.sh

Update pm2 so there are no autostart issues.

~$ pm2 unstartup
~$ npm install pm2@latest -g
~$ pm2 startup

Troubleshooting

Verify services are running.

MariaDB

~$ systemctl status mariadb.service

NodeJS

~$ systemctl status pm2-root.service

~$ sudo pm2 list
...
