Dependencies
- python2
- python2-virtualenv
Python dependencies
More detail in requirements.txt
and requirements_prod.txt
; it is best to
use virtualenv and pip to handle these. But if you insist on (Arch Linux)
packages, you will probably want the following:
- django
- python2-psycopg2
- python2-markdown
- python2-memcached
Testing Installation
-
Run
virtualenv2
.cd /path/to/archweb && virtualenv2 ./env/
-
Activate the virtualenv.
source ./env/bin/activate
-
Install dependencies through
pip
.pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Copy
local_settings.py.example
tolocal_settings.py
and modify. Make sure to uncomment the appropriate database section (either sqlite or PostgreSQL). -
Sync the database to create it.
./manage.py syncdb
-
Migrate changes.
./manage.py migrate
-
Load the fixtures to prepopulate some data. If you don't want some of the provided data, adjust the file glob accordingly.
./manage.py loaddata main/fixtures/*.json ./manage.py loaddata devel/fixtures/*.json ./manage.py loaddata mirrors/fixtures/*.json ./manage.py loaddata releng/fixtures/*.json
-
Use the following commands to start a service instance
./manage.py runserver
-
To optionally populate the database with real data:
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz ./manage.py reporead i686 core.db.tar.gz ./manage.py syncisos
Alter architecture and repo to get x86_64 and packages from other repos if needed.
Testing SMTP server
To be able to create an account on your test environment an SMTP server is required. A simple debugging SMTP server can be setup using Python.
python2 -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
In local_settings.py change the EMAIL_HOST to 'localhost' and the EMAIL_PORT to 1025.
Production Installation
