Installation of iroffer mod Dinoex on Linux with virtual hosts setup

Installation steps

1. Create user "bot" und domain "bot.domain.net" with plexx/confix.
   
   
2. As root, change into the directory of the user "bot".
   

   cd /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net/
   

3. Create a new directoty only for iroffer.
   

   mkdir iroffer
   cd iroffer/
   

4. Get the sources for the program.
   

   wget https://iroffer.net/iroffer-dinoex-3.33.tar.gz
   

5. Extract the sources.
   

   tar -xvzf iroffer-dinoex-3.33.tar.gz
   

6. We configure the sources for our Linux version.
   

   cd iroffer-dinoex-3.33
   ./Configure -curl -geoip -ruby
   

7. Should "Configure" report some errors, we have to retry after installing the missing packages.
   Sufficient under Debian:
   

   apt-get install make
   apt-get install gcc
   apt-get install libc-dev
   apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
   apt-get install libmaxminddb-dev
   apt-get install libssl-dev
   apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
   apt-get install ruby-dev
   apt-get install ruby
   

8. We build the program.
   

   make
   

9. Now we copy the program to the right place.
   

   cp -p iroffer ..
   

10. We start with the "sample.config.
    

    cp sample.config ../mybot.config
    cd ..
    chown bot mybot.config
    chmod 600 mybot.config
    

11. Only the bot needs to have write permissions here.
    

    cd ..
    chown bot .
    chmod 700 .
    

12. We create a password for the admin-chat.
    

    ./iroffer -c mybot.config
    

13. We add the directories to the configuration file "mybot.config".
    "adminhost" should be set to your hostmask.
    We set the path for "mybot.state" and "mybot.txt" so the weblist can access them.
    The directories for the files are added and we use it also for uploads.
    mybot.config should include:

    logfile /iroffer/mybot.log
    pidfile /iroffer/mybot.pid
    statefile /httpdocs/mybot.state
    xdcclistfile /httpdocs/mybot.txt
    filedir /files
    uploaddir /files
    

14. We create the directory for the files.
    

    cd ..
    mkdir files
    chown bot files
    

    Here we can upload the files with FTP or with XDCC later.
    
    
15. Download the source of the weblist.
    

    wget https://iroffer.net/iroffer-state219.zip
    cd httpdocs
    unzip ../iroffer-state219.zip
    touch size.data
    cp iroffer-sample.php index.php
    

16. Edit the configuration of the weblist.
    

    nano -w index.php
    

    or

    vim index.php
    

    In the file index.php you define und 2) one line with the nickname of your bot:

    # 2) Set nickname by hand
    #$nick = 'XDCC|irofferbot';
    $nick = 'XDCC|mybot';
    

17. We create a startup script.
    

    cd ..
    

    then

    nano -w start-iroffer.sh
    

    or

    vim start-iroffer.sh
    

    Here we add the following lines:

    #!/bin/sh
    cd iroffer
    ./iroffer -b -u bot -t /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net /iroffer/mybot.config
    

18. Make the script executeable.
    

    chmod +x start-iroffer.sh
    

19. Start.
    

    sh start-iroffer.sh
    

    Now the bot should run and connect.
    
    
20. If iroffer fails to resolve the DNS name of the IRC server inside your chroot:
    

    mkdir /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net/etc
    cp -p /etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net/etc/
    mkdir /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net/lib
    cp -p /lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /lib/libresolv.so.2 /var/www/vhosts/bot.domain.net/lib/
    

    The bot don't have to be restarted to connect.
