Installation

For Docker User

The docker image is already available, you can use the following command to run the bark server:

docker run -dt --name bark -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`/bark-data:/data finab/bark-server

If you use the docker-compose tool, you can copy docker-copose.yaml under this project to any directory and run it:

mkdir bark-server && cd bark-server
curl -sL https://github.com/Finb/bark-server/raw/master/deploy/docker-compose.yaml > docker-compose.yaml
docker compose up -d

For General User

• 1、Download precompiled binaries from the releases page
• 2、Add executable permissions to the bark-server binary: chmod +x bark-server
• 3、Start bark-server: ./bark-server --addr 0.0.0.0:8080 --data ./bark-data
• 4、Test the server: curl localhost:8080/ping

Note: Bark-server uses the /data directory to store data by default. Make sure that bark-server has permission to write to the /data directory, otherwise use the -d option to change the directory.

For Developer

Developers can compile this project by themselves, and the dependencies required for compilation:

• Golang 1.18+
• Go Mod Enabled(env GO111MODULE=on)
• Go Mod Proxy Enabled(env GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn)
• go-task Installed

Run the following command to compile this project:

# Cross compile all platforms
task

# Compile the specified platform (please refer to Taskfile.yaml)
task linux_amd64
task linux_amd64_v3

Note: The linux amd64 v3 architecture was added in go 1.18, see https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MinimumRequirements#amd64

Nginx Proxy

Most users want to deploy the bark server on the intranet server, and then use Nginx to reverse proxy the bark server; here is a simple Nginx configuration example (we assume that the bark server is listening at 192.168.1.123:8080)

# generated 2020-03-26, Mozilla Guideline v5.4, nginx 1.17.7, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, modern configuration
# https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx&version=1.17.7&config=modern&openssl=1.1.1d&guideline=5.4
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    # Replace bark.app.dev with your real domain name.
    server_name bark.app.dev;

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    # Replace bark.app.dev with your real domain name.
    server_name bark.app.dev;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/signed_cert_plus_intermediates;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/private_key;
    ssl_session_timeout 1d;
    ssl_session_cache shared:MozSSL:10m;  # about 40000 sessions
    ssl_session_tickets off;

    # modern configuration
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.3;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;

    # HSTS (ngx_http_headers_module is required) (63072000 seconds)
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000" always;

    # OCSP stapling
    ssl_stapling on;
    ssl_stapling_verify on;

    # verify chain of trust of OCSP response using Root CA and Intermediate certs
    ssl_trusted_certificate /path/to/root_CA_cert_plus_intermediates;

    # replace with the IP address of your resolver
    #resolver 127.0.0.1;

    location / {

        log_not_found on;
        # Replace http://192.168.1.123:8080 with the listening address of the bark server.
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.123:8080;

        proxy_read_timeout 300;
        proxy_connect_timeout 300;
        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_set_header Host              $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP         $remote_addr;

    }
}

Use MySQL instead of Bbolt

Just run the server with -dsn=user:pass@tcp(mysql_host)/bark, it will use MySQL instead of file database Bbolt

Development environment

This project requires at least the golang 1.12 version to compile and requires Go mod support.

• Golang 1.16
• GoLand 2020.3 or other Go IDE
• Docker(Optional)

Update

Now the push certificate embedded in the program will never expire. You only need to update the program if the push fails due to the expired certificate.
