Setting up Cyberman on FreeBSD with Starman + nginx

1. Get Cyberman.

Get a copy of Cyberman and place it in a directory of your choice.  I use /var/www/cyberman.
chown the directory to www:www, or the user of your choice.  Note that if you change this, you'll have to update the user specified for starman in rc.conf, and for the logfile in newsyslog.conf


2. Install the following packages:

www/p5-starman
databases/sqlite3

p5-YAML
p5-YAML-Tiny
p5-URL-Encode-XS
p5-CGI-Deurl-XS
p5-HTTP-Parser-XS
www/p5-Dancer2
databases/p5-Dancer2-Plugin-Database
p5-DBD-SQLite
p5-Digest-Bcrypt
p5-Math-Random-Secure
p5-Switch
p5-HTML-Parser
p5-Email-Simple
p5-Email-Sender
p5-URI
p5-Plack-Middleware-Deflater
p5-Plack-Middleware-Session
p5-Digest-SHA1

#for Plack::Middleware::CSRFBlock -
fetch -o /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Plack/Middleware/CSRFBlock.pm https://st.aticpan.org/source/MATTP/Plack-Middleware-CSRFBlock-0.10/lib/Plack/Middleware/CSRFBlock.pm


3. Add the following lines to your rc.conf files:

starman_enable="YES"
starman_config="/var/www/cyberman/app.psgi"
starman_pidfile="/var/tmp/starman.pid"
starman_flags="--listen 127.0.0.1:5000 --error-log /var/log/cyberman.log"

Add '-E development' to enable extensive logging and error displays.  The --listen argument can also take 'ip:port' and '/path/to/socket' arguments.


4. Create /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/cyberman with the following contents:

# logfilename          [owner:group]    mode count size when  flags [/pid_file] [sig_num]
/var/log/cyberman.log  www:www          644  3     100  @T00  J

You may need to create the directory /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d
Touch the file /var/log/cyberman.log, and chown it to www:www 


5. Run "service starman start" to start cyberman.


6. Sample Nginx config:

        server {
                listen          80;
        #       listen          443 ssl http2;
                server_name     register.example.com;

        #       ssl_certificate   cert.pem;
        #       ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

        #       ssl_session_cache       shared:SSL:1m;
        #       ssl_session_timeout  5m;
        #       ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
        #       ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

                error_page 404  /404.html;
                # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
                error_page      500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
                location = /50x.html {
                        root    /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
                }

                root    /var/www/html;
                location / {
                        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
                }
        }
