## Give a try
On a Debian-based host - running at least Debian Stretch:
```
$ sudo apt install python3 virtualenv git make
$ git clone https://forge.april.org/siteweb/drupal2spip_lal
$ cd drupal2spip_lal/
$ make init
A configuration will be created interactively; uncomment
ENV=development
$ make test # optional
$ make serve
```
Then visit [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/) in your web browser.
## Installation
### Requirements
On a Debian-based host - running at least Debian Stretch, you will need the
following packages:
- python3
- virtualenv
- make
- git (recommended for getting the source)
- python3-mysqldb (optional, in case of a MySQL / MariaDB database)
- python3-psycopg2 (optional, in case of a PostgreSQL database)
### Quick start
It assumes that you already have the application source code locally - the best
way is by cloning this repository - and that you are in this folder.
1. Define your local configuration in a file named `config.env`, which can be
copied from `config.env.example` and edited to suits your needs.
Depending on your environment, you will have to create your database and the
user at first.
2. Run `make init`.
Note that if there is no `config.env` file, it will be created interactively.
That's it! Your environment is now initialized with the application installed.
To update it, once the source code is checked out, simply run `make update`.
You can also check that your application is well configured by running
`make check`.
### Manual installation
If you don't want to use the `Makefile` facilities, here is what is done behind the scene.
It assumes that you have downloaded the last release of drupal2spip_lal,
extracted it and that you moved to that folder.
1. Start by creating a new virtual environment under `./venv` and activate it:
$ virtualenv --system-site-packages ./venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
2. Install the required Python packages depending on your environment:
$ pip install -r requirements/production.txt
... or ...
$ pip install -r requirements/development.txt
3. Configure the application by setting the proper environment variables
depending on your environment. You can use the `config.env.example` which
give you the main variables with example values.
$ cp config.env.example config.env
$ nano config.env
$ chmod go-rwx config.env
Note that this `./config.env` file will be loaded by default when the
application starts. If you don't want that, just move this file away or set
the `READ_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable to `0`.
4. Create the database tables - it assumes that you have created the database
and set the proper configuration to use it:
$ ./manage.py migrate
That's it! You should now be able to start the Django development server to
check that everything is working fine with:
$ ./manage.py runserver
## Deployment
Here is an example deployment using NGINX - as the Web server - and uWSGI - as
the application server.
The uWSGI configuration doesn't require a special configuration, except that we
are using Python 3 and a virtual environment. Note that if you serve the
application on a sub-location, you will have to add `route-run = fixpathinfo:`
to your uWSGI configuration (from
[v2.0.11](https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Changelog-2.0.11.html#fixpathinfo-routing-action)).
In the `server` block of your NGINX configuration, add the following blocks and
set the path to your application instance and to the uWSGI socket:
```
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:<uwsgi_socket_path>;
}
location /media {
alias <app_instance_path>/var/media;
}
location /static {
alias <app_instance_path>/var/static;
# Optional: don't log access to assets
access_log off;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
alias <app_instance_path>/var/static/favicon/favicon.ico;
# Optional: don't log access to the favicon
access_log off;
}
```
## Structure
### Overview
All the application files - e.g. Django code including settings, templates and
statics - are located into `drupal2spip_lal/`.
Two environments are defined - either for requirements and settings:
- `development`: for local application development and testing. It uses a
SQLite3 database and enable debugging by default, add some useful settings
and applications for development purpose - i.e. the `django-debug-toolbar`.
- `production`: for production. It checks that configuration is set and
correct, try to optimize performances and enforce some settings - i.e. HTTPS
related ones.
### Local changes
You can override and extend statics and templates locally. This can be useful
if you have to change the logo for a specific instance for example. For that,
just put your files under the `local/static/` and `local/templates/` folders.
Regarding the statics, do not forget to collect them after that. Note also that
the `local/` folder is ignored by *git*.
### Variable content
All the variable content - e.g. user-uploaded media, collected statics - are
stored inside the `var/` folder. It is also ignored by *git* as it's specific
to each application installation.
So, you will have to configure your Web server to serve the `var/media/` and
`var/static/` folders, which should point to `/media/` and `/static/`,
respectively.
## Development
The easiest way to deploy a development environment is by using the `Makefile`.
Before running `make init`, ensure that you have either set `ENV=development`
in the `config.env` file or have this environment variable. Note that you can
still change this variable later and run `make init` again.
There is some additional rules when developing, which are mainly wrappers for
`manage.py`. You can list all of them by running `make help`. Here are the main ones:
- `make serve`: run a development server
- `make test`: test the whole application
- `make lint`: check the Python code syntax
