Setup taskwarrior taskserver on ec2 amazon linux

gistfile1.txt

#A sequence for installing a taskwarrior server on an ec2 amazon linux instance
#hopefully this can save someone a bunch of time

#FIRST go to the ec2 instance management panel, 
#edit the security group for the instance and add an inbound rule, custom tcp, port 53589, source anywhere (0.0.0.0/0)

#THEN ssh to the box as ec2-user and run the following
#build taskserver
sudo yum install gcc cmake gnutls-devel gnutls-utils libuuid-devel clang
curl -O http://taskwarrior.org/download/taskd-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf taskd-latest.tar.gz
cd taskd-1.1.0
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release  .
make
sudo make install

#SETUP

sudo groupadd tasker
sudo usermod -a -G tasker ec2-user
exit
#reconnect ssh ec2-user
export TASKDDATA=/var/taskd
sudo mkdir -p $TASKDDATA
sudo chown -R root:tasker $TASKDDATA
sudo chmod 2775 $TASKDDATA
find $TASKDDATA -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} \;
find $TASKDDATA -type f -exec sudo chmod 0664 {} \;

#NOTE replace ec2-35-163-127-155.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com in the below with your own ec2 instance public dns

taskd init

#In below replace Warriors with your organisation name & replace Graymouser with your user name

taskd add org Warriors

taskd add user 'Warriors' 'Graymouser'

#Note new user key

cd ~/taskd-1.1.0/pki

#copy the ca.cert & the generated user cert & key files to your taskwarrior client box/device
#on your local client box/device run
task config taskd.certificate -- ~/.task/graymouser.cert.pem
task config taskd.key         -- ~/.task/graymouser.key.pem
task config taskd.ca          -- ~/.task/ca.cert.pem

task config taskd.credentials -- Warriors/Graymouser/<new-user-key-from-earlier>



#To run on startup you can edit rc.local and add the following line
su ec2-user -c "/usr/local/bin/taskd server --data /var/taskd --daemon"
