Install personal dev environment

Installing a personal dev environment

Here is a much shorter document, than this, showing how to quickly get siptrack up and running in a small personal environment for testing or development.

This guide was last tested on CentOS 7 with Python 2.7.5.

Install dependencies with yum

$ sudo yum install openssl-devel gcc libffi-devel openldap-devel mariadb-devel python-virtualenv git pwgen

Create virtualenv

$ mkdir venv
$ virtualenv venv/siptrack
$ . venv/siptrack/bin/activate

Clone repos

$ git clone https://github.com/sii/siptrack
$ git clone https://github.com/sii/siptrackd
$ git clone https://github.com/sii/siptrackweb

Install siptrack client lib

$ cd siptrack
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ..

Install and run siptrackd API server

$ cd siptrackd
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install

Run siptrackd

First you can test it in the foreground like this.

$ ./siptrackd -l - -b stsqlite -s storage.cfg --searcher=whoosh \
    --searcher-args=/tmp/whoosh-index

Then run it as a daemon like this.

$ ./siptrackd -l siptrackd.log -d -b stsqlite -s storage.cfg \
    --searcher=whoosh --searcher-args=/tmp/whoosh-index

Example of storage.cfg:

[mysql]
hostname=local.db.server
username=siptrack
password=secret password.
dbname=siptrack_test

[sqlite]
filename=./st.sqlite3

Run siptrackd with MySQL

Assuming you have a sql server on localhost, a user named siptrack with access to a database called siptrack_dev.

Copy storage.cfg to storage_dev.cfg and add your DB info to it like this.

[mysql]
hostname=localhost
username=siptrack
password=secret password.
dbname=siptrack_dev

Run siptrackd like this from the siptrackd directory.

$ ./siptrackd -l - -b stmysql -s storage_dev.cfg --searcher=whoosh \
    --searcher-args=/tmp/whoosh-index

Install and run siptrackweb

$ cd siptrackweb
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
$ django-admin startproject stweb
$ cd stweb

Edit the following in the file stweb/settings.py.

SIPTRACK_SERVER = 'localhost'
SIPTRACK_USE_SSL = False
ADMINS = (
    '[email protected]'
)
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'
DATABASE_NAME = 'siptrackweb'
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Copenhagen'

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'siptrackweb',
)

Also remove the line about CSRF middleware from MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
    #'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
...
)

Then edit stweb/urls.py so it contains the following.

from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'', include('siptrackweb.urls')),
]

Now create the database, and run the dev-server.

$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py runserver

Now go to http://localhost:8000/ and login as user admin, password admin.
