Hello,
Bellow you can find all the steps needed to be done in order to build the GNWuorld (X and UWorld) Modules using a linux server.
Please keep in mind that the IP Address of the machine used for this HOWTO is 192.168.1.133 and it should be changed with the IP address of the machine where you want to have gnuworld installed.
OK, now let`s proceed....

1. We need to make sure that the server is update - to - date:
  • apt update
  • apt upgrade
  • apt install build-essential
  • apt install wget git libssl3 libssl-dev openssl bison libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev automake make flex mlocate byacc libxmlsec1 libxmlsec1-dev liboath-dev liboath0 libboost-all-dev
2. Install Postgresql 15:
  • apt install postgresql-server-dev-15 postgresql-client-15 postgresql postgresql-contrib
Now we start PgSQL server:
  • systemctl start postgresql
We enable PgSQL Server on reboot:
  • systemctl enable postgresql
We edit postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files :
  • nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = '192.168.1.133'
port = 5432
Save the file and close it.
  • nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf
Add the following line:
  • Host all all 192.168.1.133/32 trust
Save and close file

Now we restart PgSQL Server:
  • systemctl restart postgresql
We create the user gnuworld in PgSQL:
  • su - postgres
  • psql
  • create user gnuworld;
We create cservice (X), ccontrol (UWorld) and local_db (WebPage):
  • CREATE DATABASE cservice with OWNER='gnuworld' ENCODING='SQL_ASCII' LC_COLLATE='en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.UTF-8' TEMPLATE=template0;
  • CREATE DATABASE ccontrol with OWNER='gnuworld' ENCODING='SQL_ASCII' LC_COLLATE='en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.UTF-8' TEMPLATE=template0;
  • CREATE DATABASE local_db with OWNER='gnuworld' ENCODING='SQL_ASCII' LC_COLLATE='en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.UTF-8' TEMPLATE=template0;
We type "\l" to see database information:
postgres=# \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------
ccontrol | gnuworld | SQL_ASCII | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
cservice | gnuworld | SQL_ASCII | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
local_db | gnuworld | SQL_ASCII | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres +
| | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres

We exit pgsql console:
  • \q
Type exit to return to root account
  • exit
Now we add user gnuworld:
  • adduser gnuworld
3 . Download and build GNUWorld (X and UWorld) modules
  • su - gnuworld
  • git clone https://github.com/UndernetIRC/gnuworld
  • cd gnuworld

4.1 #run the following command ONLY if you build gnuworld to use TOTP
  • ./configure --with-pgconfig=/usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/pg_config --enable-modules=ccontrol,cservice --with-liboath --with-liboath-lib=/usr/lib/ --with-liboath-include=/usr/include/
  • nano mod.cservice/cservice_config.h
  • change #undef TOTP_AUTH_ENABLED to #define TOTP_AUTH_ENABLED
## save the file and exit
  • gmake
  • gmake install
#if you selected step 4.1 skip step 4.2


4.2 # Run the following command if you build gnuworld WITHOUT TOTP Support and skip step 4.1
  • ./configure --with-pgconfig=/usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/pg_config --enable-modules=ccontrol,cservice
  • gmake
  • gmake install

5. Now Let`s build the databases !!!
## run the following commands under user gnuworld !!!
  • cd gnuworld/doc
5.1 ## Building cservice database !!!
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < cservice.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < languages.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < language_table.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < cservice.help.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < cservice.web.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < cservice.config.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < greeting.sql
  • nano cservice.addme_sql
  • replace "Admin" with your desired username (ex. ZioN)
##save the file and exit.
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld cservice < cservice.addme.sql

5.2 ## Building ccontrol (UWorld) database !!!
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld ccontrol < ccontrol.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld ccontrol < ccontrol.help.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld ccontrol < ccontrol.shells.sql
  • nano ccontrol.addme_sql
  • replace "Admin" with your desired username (ex. ZioN)
##save the file and exit.
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld ccontrol < ccontrol.addme.sql
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld ccontrol < ccontrol.commands.sql

Skip this step ONLY if you already done it when you set the webpage !!!
5.3 ## Building local_db (Website) database !!!
  • psql -h 192.168.1.133 -U gnuworld local_db < local_db.sql

6. GNUWorld config files needed to be edited before running gnuworld.
  • cd gnuworld/bin
6.1 ## edit cservice.conf with your needed settings for your network.
  • cp cservice.example.conf cservice.conf
  • nano cservice.conf

6.2 ## edit ccontrol.conf with your needed settings for your network.
  • cp ccontrol.example.conf ccontrol.conf
  • nano ccontrol.conf

6.3 ## edit GNUWorld.conf with your needed settings for your network. Enable modules ccservice and ccontrol:
  • cp GNUWorld.example.conf GNUWorld.conf
  • nano GNUWorld.conf

7. Starting GNUWorld
## If GNUWorld.conf , cservice.conf and ccontrol.conf files are set please proceed with starting GNUWorld, if NOT, please go back to step 6.
## to start gnuworld type te following command:
  • ./gnuworld
Now X should be up on your Network.


8. X- AUTHENTICATION FAILED as admin (IPR)
There are two options to solve this, bellow you can find how to on both.
  • su - gnuworld
8.1 - Fix (IPR) by inserting your ip into Admin account direct on database cservice.
  • pico ipr.sql
  • insert into ip_restrict (id, user_id, added_by, added, type, expiry, value) values (1, 1, 1, now()::abstime::int4, 1, 0, ‘192.168.0.93’);
##replace " 192.168.0.93 " with the ip address shown on whois on you on irc. !!!
  • /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -h 192.168.0.93 cservice < ipr.sql
##replace " 192.168.0.93 " with a real ip address of the machine hosting the cservice db.

8.2 - Fix (IPR) by disableing IPR option in mod.cservice
  • su - gnuworld
  • cd gnuworld
  • pico mod.cservice/cservice_config.h
  • change #define IPR_DEFAULT_REJECT to #undef IPR_DEFAULT_REJECT
Save the file and close
  • make -j 2
  • make install
  • and restart X
Enjoy !!!!
