Installation

First you need to install pip

easy_install pip

You need to get a copy of web2py, you can install it by doing

pip install web2py

then install Globaleaks

pip install git+git://github.com/globaleaks/GlobaLeaks.git#egg=globaleaks

Under Windows|MacOSX|whatever, start the service with: globaleaks/startglobaleaks

then you will find running as a web service the following:

• whistleblowing interface binds to http://127.0.0.1:8000
• node administrator targets configuratation http://127.0.0.1:8000/globaleaks/admin/
• debug only global view interface: http://127.0.0.1:8000/globalview
• web2py developer access: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin password "globaleaks"

Base configuration

inside

defaults/origin.globaleaks.conf

there are the configuration file with all the required, optional and mandatory fields that an admin could change. When globaleaks is started, the request of a controller that require a proper configuration will redirect to the configuration page. The admin provide with the few mandatory information, and the file globaleaks.conf is saved.

When the login is requested to access as node maintainer, the default login is in: node_admin_username = [email protected]

The file globaleaks/globaleaks.conf contain your personal configuration: mail server, installation name, and usually don't be shared

7. http://127.0.0.1:8000/groups

You are invited to develop, using the web admin interface, because apply automatic checks before saving the code.
