Donation collection for FOSS groups and individuals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Supports one-time and monthly donations
|
|
|
|
|
* Process cards with Stripe
|
|
|
|
|
* Flexible and customizable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It works for individuals (like me) and it works for organizations. Expect to
|
|
|
|
|
spend about an hour or two setting up everything and then you're good to go.

## Before you start
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need a number of things set up before you start:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. An approved [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) account
|
|
|
|
|
1. A mail server
|
|
|
|
|
1. A domain name and an SSL certificate
|
|
|
|
|
1. A web server to host fosspay on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install these things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Python 3
|
|
|
|
|
* pip (python 3)
|
|
|
|
|
* PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're responsible for setting up PostgreSQL yourself. Prepare a connection
|
|
|
|
|
string for later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clone the git repository on the server that you want to host fosspay on:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/SirCmpwn/fosspay.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd fosspay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install the Python packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile the static assets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cp config.ini.example config.ini
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit `config.ini` to your liking. Then, you can run the following to start up
|
|
|
|
|
the development server:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python3 app.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Log into http://your-domain:5000, and you will receive further instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have everything configured, you will need to switch from the dev server
|
|
|
|
|
into something more permanent. Install gunicorn on your server and use the
|
|
|
|
|
systemd unit provided in `contrib/`. You will also probably want to run this
|
|
|
|
|
through nginx instead of directly exposing gunicorn to the web, see
|
|
|
|
|
`contrib/nginx.conf`. Neither the nginx configuration or the systemd unit are
|
|
|
|
|
immediately ready to use - read them and change them to suit your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using nginx or something like it is necessary for SSL support, and you must
|
|
|
|
|
serve your site with https for Stripe to work.
