Etebase
Etebase is an end-to-end encrypted backend as a service. Think Firebase, but encrypted in a way that only your users can access their data.
This is a basic configuration to run the Etebase server:
services = {
etebase-server = {
enable = true;
port = 8001;
settings = {
global.secret_file = /path/to/secret;
allowed_hosts.allowed_host1 = "http:/etebase./your.domain/";
};
};
For the server to accept requests from a remote machine allowed_host1 variable should be set as the server's subdomain/domain name.
The django secret key is preferably a randomly generated key, the use of a secret managing scheme might prove useful. see Comparison_of_secret_managing_schemes.
Admin user
To use the Etebase server, the creation of an admin account is required. This requires manual intervention:
First you need to find where the generated .ini configuration file is located:
ls /nix/store | grep etebase-server.ini
As a super user, run this command: ETEBASE_EASY_CONFIG_INI=/path/to/etebase-server.ini etebase-server createsuperuser and that should prompt you to create a user.
Login with these credentials to http://your.domain/admin and create users for your etebase clients through the GUI.
