Installation

Get the source

Clone the git repository:

git clone git@github.com:cravesoft/ttsbot.git

Install dependencies

For Ubuntu, simply enter the following command that will install all necessary packages:

sudo apt-get install liquidsoap icecast2 sox

The server runs on nodejs and requires the following npm libraries:

irc
request

All of them can be installed via npm install -d (this will install a local copy of all the dependencies in the node_modules directory)

Configuration

Rename the server/config-sample.json file to ./server/config.json

Open ./server/config.json in a text editor and fill in your server information.

In a TLS/SSL infrastructure, each client and each server must have a private key. A private key is created like this

openssl genrsa -out ryans-key.pem 1024

All servers and some clients need to have a certificate. Certificates are public keys signed by a Certificate Authority or self-signed. The first step to getting a certificate is to create a "Certificate Signing Request" (CSR) file. This is done with:

openssl req -new -key ryans-key.pem -out ryans-csr.pem

To create a self-signed certificate with the CSR, do this:

openssl x509 -req -in ryans-csr.pem -signkey ryans-key.pem -out ryans-cert.pem

Alternatively you can send the CSR to a Certificate Authority for signing.

Done!

Then run liquidsoap ls_script.liq in order to start the stream generator and node server/js/ttsbot.js in order to start the server.
