It is possible to do the entire setup on one machine, but we do not recommend this for security reasons. + +Before you start +================ + +To deploy this with a real bank, you need: + +* IBAN of the bank account to use +* BIC of the bank +* EBICS host, user and partner IDs + + + Installation ============ +We assume that the system is a minimal installation of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. +Ideally, you should have two hosts, ``exchange-online`` and +``exchange-offline``. It is also possible to run the HTTPS nginx server or +the Postgres database on yet another host, but in these instructions we will +assume that only two hosts are used. Alas, the instructions will also work if +you run everything on one system, but then you have the security drawback of +not keeping the high-security private keys disconnected from the Internet. + To install the exchange, first make sure that your system is up-to-date and that the ``gnupg`` package has been installed. |
