Quick Installation Guide

For deployment we use docker so you need to have docker running on the host. Projecta is a django app so it will help if you have some knowledge of running a django site.

git clone git://github.com/kartoza/projecta.git
cd projecta/deployment
cp btsync-db.env.EXAMPLE btsync-db.env
cp btsync-media.env.EXAMPLE btsync-media.env
cp .env.example .env
make build
make permissions
make web
# Wait a few seconds for the DB to start before to do the next command
make migrate
make collectstatic

If you need backups, put btsync keys in these files. If you don't need backups, you can let the default content.

So as to create your admin account:

make superuser

intercom.io

If you wish to make use of intercom.io, include a private.py file in core.settings with your INTERCOM_APP_ID as a string. The necessary code snippet is already included in project_base.html.

google authentication

In social auth to use the google authentication you need to go to:

https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials

Create and oath2 credential with these options:

Authorized redirect URIs

http:///en/complete/google-oauth2/

Use the projecta admin panel to set up the google account with your id and secret

github authentication

Create a developer key here:

https://github.com/settings/applications/new

Set the callback and site homepage url to the top of your site e.g.

http://localhost:61202

At http://localhost:61202/en/site-admin/socialaccount/socialapp/add/

Set the key and secret from the github key page.

Backups

If you wish to sync backups, you need to establish a read / write btsync key on your production server and run one or more btsync clients with a read only key.

cd deployment
cp btsync-media.env.EXAMPLE btsync-media.env
cp btsync-db.env.EXAMPLE btsync-db.env

Now edit the btsync-media.env and btsync-db.env files, including relevant SECRET and DEVICE settings.
