Edition Open Access 1.5

Source code for the Edition Open Access website. Publications are provided in a number of different formats:

online HTML version
PDF
Ebook (EPUB)

Installation

In order to provide a consistent environment we are using docker. A set of python scripts is used for automatisation. Installing and running the project work without Docker or the scripts is possible, but not recommended. In this case you are on your own. Dependencies to other git repositories are handled using git_deps_py.

Configuration

Environment variables: see file .env

These variables are available inside the docker-compose.yaml file and are also loaded into the python scripts. (The .env file is initially created with default settings by the init.py script)
Django settings: see src/eoa/settings.py

For further information please check the django documentation.

Prerequisites

Python 3
Docker, Docker Compose
git_deps_py

Initialise the Repository

$ git_deps_py
$ ./scripts/init.py [--build]

This will pull remote repositories and resources, initialize the database, etc. Force recreating the docker image by adding --build e.g. if Dockerfile or requirements.txt has changed.

Import data

Initialize CMS pages

The dummy fixture contains the default setup for CMS pages. Also a CMS superuser with username 'test' and password 'test' (don't use this in production !).

$ cp fixtures/cms_dummy.json res/fixtures/
$ ./scripts/init.py --skip-db
$ ./scripts/run.py && ./scripts/exec_in_container.py
$ $ python manage.py loaddata $RES_DIR/fixtures/cms_dummy.json
$ $ exit

Import Publications

In order to publish a publication on the platform, the following 2 steps are necessary:

First you have to compile your publication to "django", using EOASkripts
After that you have to import it to the platform.

For the example publication, this process goes as follows:

compiling the example

$ cd example_import $ git_deps_py --store-dir ../dependencies $ cd dependencies/EOASkripts $ ./scripts/run.py && ./scripts/exec_in_container.py $ $ process_eoa_latex.py -f input/example/eoatex/EOASample.tex $ $ exit $ ./scripts/stop.py $ cd ..
import example to the platform

After you have compiled the publication to "django", you might want to import it into the platform.

$ cp -r example_import/EOASkripts/runtime/output/django res/publications/example
$ ./scripts/init.py --skip-db
$ ./scripts/run.py && ./scripts/exec_in_container.py
$ $ python manage.py publicationimport $RES_DIR/publications/example
$ $ exit
$ ./scripts/stop.py

That's all.

Configure Project specific Information

You might want to tweak the CMS pages: log in to the CMS and do it
You might want to configer organisation information (org. name, logo, ...):
1. edit res/custom_config/*
2. $ ./scripts/init.py --skip-db
You might want to add your organisations logo, favicon etc:

Copy them into res/static/custom_static/. Files in this directory overwrite default files with the same name:
```
  $ cp <my_icon> res/static/custom_static/
  $ ./scripts/init.py --skip-db
```
TODO: list images that one typically wants to overwrite

REMARK

The templates expect some pages to exist in the CMS:

Introduction Page (id: 'introduction')
Contact (id: 'contact')
Imprint (id: 'imprint')

Deleting those might break things.

Run the Webserver

$ ./scripts/run.py

The webpage can now be explored in your local browser.

Stop the Webserver

$ ./scripts/stop.py

Run Command in the Webserver container

$ ./scripts/exec_in_container.py [-- CMD ...]

Clean the Repository

$ ./scripts/exit.py

This should remove all remote repositories and resources not part of this repository. Docker images are not deleted though.

Export Data

In order to export CMS content, execute:

$ ./scripts/run.py && ./scripts/exec_in_container.py 'python manage.py dump_cms'
$ cp runtime_data/fixtures/* fixtures/

Installation for Production (TODO)

Not documented yet. It might be necessary to tweak the django settings, among other adjustments.

Further development of Django applications

In order to develop and enhance existing Django applications, do the following:

Following https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/requirements.html#requirements-file-format, the -e option in the requirements.txt file will install the Django applications in an accessible place
run ./scripts/run.py --build to update the installation.
In order to deploy the development, update the corresponding repository, commit and push and insert the commit hash in the requirements.txt.
