Installation

These install instructions are for uberspace 7, using gunicorn.

1. Clone this repo onto your server

2. Install the dependencies for python 3: pip3.6 install -r requirements.txt --user

3. Install gunicorn for python 3: pip3.6 install gunicorn --user

4. Make a subdomain folder, eg somewhere in /var/www/virtual/<username>/<subdomain>

5. Make a folder for static files somwhere in that folder, eg /var/www/virtual/<username>/<subdomain>/static

6. Set your web backends using the uberspace web backend utility. The subdomain needs to be set to a port on which gunicorn will later listen (such as 8000), the static files need to be served by apache. Example:

    $ uberspace web backend list
    <subdomain>/static apache
    <subdomain>/ http:8000
    / apache
   

7. In your copy of this repo, create a file called .env and add the following settings:

   1. Set SECRET_KEY to an appropriate (random) value

   2. Set STATIC_ROOT to the folder for static files you just created

   3. Set ALLOWED_HOSTS to include your host

   4. Set WISHLIST_URL to the base url under which the site will run

   5. Set WISHLIST_OWNER_S to the name that should be set in the header

   6. Set WISHLIST_TITLE to the title of the list, eg 'Wishlist'

   7. SET LANGUAGE_CODE to the language your installation should have. If you don't set this, it will default to German

   8. The file should now look like this:

       SECRET_KEY = '012lhdwi8az1#%$eygb-%9z^x3r)i-24$51mh(i$-_!^+4yq3f'
       STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/virtual/dasnessie/wunschzettel.dasnessie.de/static'
       ALLOWED_HOSTS = 'wunschzettel.dasnessie.de'
       WISHLIST_URL = 'https://wunschzettel.dasnessie.de'
       WISHLIST_OWNER_S = 'Nessies'
       WISHLIST_TITLE = 'Wunschzettel'
       LANGUAGE_CODE = 'de'
      

8. Run python3 manage.py collectstatic in the folder that contains manage.py to copy your static files to the folder you set

9. Run python3 manage.py migrate in the folder that contains manage.py to set up the database

10. Run python3 manage.py createsuperuser to create a user for the admin interface. You can use that user account later to add items to the list.

11. Run python3 manage.py compilemessages to generate the language files.

12. Make a service: In ~/etc/services.d/, make a file called something like wishlist.ini that contains the following:

     [program:wishlist]
     command=gunicorn -b '0.0.0.0:8000' project.wsgi
     directory=<path to repo>/
     autostart=true
     autorestart=true
     redirect_stderr=true
    

13. Run the service:

    1. Update the service list: supervisorctl reread
    2. Start the deamon: supervisorctl update
    3. Run the service: supervisorctl start wishlist

14. Add items to you list: Go to the URL under which the site is running. Go to /admin from there, log in with the data from step 10 and start adding wishes
