Getting Started for development

To run in development mode without docker:

python3.4 bootstrap.py
bin/buildout
bin/runzeo -C etc/zeo.conf
bin/pserve development.ini

The application is on http://localhost:6543

To run in development mode with docker:

./run.sh rebuild
./run.sh

The app is deployed on https://local.ecreall.com:8443 (local.ecreall.com resolves to 127.0.0.1 and is necessary for nginx)

To send emails, you need to configure the MAILER variables in docker-compose-dev.yml The default configuration is used to connect with a postfix via a ssh tunnel like this:

ssh -L 172.17.0.1:9025:localhost:25 myserver.example.com

Deployment with docker

Clone a specific version:

git clone -b VERSION git@github.com:ecreall/nova-ideo.git
cd nova-ideo

(replace VERSION with the latest release, 1.1 for example)

docker-compose runs a nginx container on port 80 and 443. You need to edit the nginx-app-prod.conf file to replace mynovaideo.example.com by your domain and add certificates (server.key and server.crt) to the tls directory.

You need to configure some environment variables, copy the file docker-compose.override.yml.templ to docker-compose.override.yml and edit it.

  • SECRET: the initial admin password

  • APPLICATION_URL: your domain, same as you put in nginx-app-prod.conf

  • MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER: the sender of the mails that the application use

  • MAILER_HOST: SMTP host

  • MAILER_PORT: SMTP port

  • MAILER_USERNAME: SMTP username

  • MAILER_PASSWORD: SMTP password

  • MAILER_TLS: Use TLS

  • MAILER_SSL: Use SSL

If you want to connect to a postfix container, there is a commented example in docker-compose.override.yml.templ that use an external postfix container connected on a mybridge bridge network. You need to create a mybridge bridge network and start a postfix container yourself. (not documented here)

To deploy:

sudo docker-compose up -d

To connect with the super administrator (for the evolve steps and to create an other admin account only), go to https://mynovaideo.example.com/manage and log in with “admin” and the password is the one you gave in the SECRET environment variable.

After the initial connection, you can increase the number of workers that are used to handle the requests in docker-compose.override.yml and run again sudo docker-compose up -d (WORKERS=3 is a good default).

How to upgrade your install

For each release, a docker image is built and the docker-compose.yml is modified accordingly.

If you previously cloned the repository with version 1.0, to upgrade to 1.1 for example, do:

git checkout 1.1
sudo docker-compose up -d

After that, be sure to execute the evolve steps by connecting with the super administrator at https://mynovaideo.example.com/manage and going to Database tab, and click on Evolve red button. You can see the evolve steps with the Summarize button.

Backup and maintainance of your database

Your data is in the var folder, be sure to backup it.

The database is a ZODB filestorage, you should pack it regularly (every week) to reduce its size. Example of cron for user root run at 1am sunday:

0 1 * * 0 docker exec novaideo_novaideo_1 /app/bin/zeopack -d 1 -u /app/var/zeo.sock

Be sure that the container name is novaideo_novaideo_1 in your case. You can verify it with docker ps.
