proper:bytes Ubuntu + Apache installation

1. Create a PostgreSQL database

    createuser --no-superuser --no-createrole --no-createdb --pwprompt traffic
    createdb --encoding=UTF8 --owner=traffic traffic
   

2. Make sure MRI-Ruby 1.9 (or compatible), PgSQL client and Bundler are installed, e.g.:

    apt-get install ruby1.9.3 bundler libpq-dev
   

3. Execute as root (logfile for config is /var/log/apache2/traffic.log):

    mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
    cd /usr/local/lib
    curl -O http://pbdist.teralink.net/probytes-LATEST.tar.bz2
    curl https://raw.github.com/improper/probytes/master/SHA256SUMS | shasum -c
    tar xjf probytes-LATEST.tar.bz2
    rm probytes-LATEST.tar.bz2
    chown -R www-data:www-data probytes
    cd probytes
    (cd daemon && bundle install)
    cp daemon/probytesd /usr/local/sbin
    cp daemon/probytesd.conf.rb.sample /usr/local/etc/probytesd.conf.rb
    $EDITOR /usr/local/etc/probytesd.conf.rb
    cp daemon/rc-scripts/ubuntu-upstart/probytesd.conf /etc/init
    cp -r dist/* $FRONTEND_DIR
   

4. Make sure the frontend directory (at least a file named data.json) is writable for user www-data and the logfile is readable

5. Create /etc/apache2/conf.d/probytes:

    LogFormat "%v %I %O" traffic
   

6. Insert into each /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*:

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/traffic.log traffic
   

7. Execute:

    service apache2 reload
    start probytesd
   

8. Open the client in the browser, depending on the target directory you set in probytesd.conf.rb.
