Covering post-installation tasks that have to be performed with the platform and ingestion applications to get a system set up for ingests.

First:

  1. Create the dpla, dashboard, dpla_api_auth, and bulk_download databases in the CouchDB Futon control panel. (e.g. http://local.dp.la:5984/_utils/index.html)  This is easier than trying to do it with the rake tasks in platform, and there are no rake tasks for the dashboard and bulk_download databases.

In the platform application:

  1. Run rake tasks as dpla in /srv/www/api:

    $ bundle exec rake v1:create_and_deploy_index
$ bundle exec rails generate delayed_job
$ bundle exec rails generate delayed_job:active_record
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate 

Ensure that delayed_job is running, if you are using the contentqa engine. Our configuration manager (automation) installs an init script as /etc/init.d/delayed_job_api.  Unfortunately, that script has no "status" command, so you can use ps aux | grep [d]elayed_job to find out if it's running. You should be able to use sudo service delayed_job_api start to start it, if necessary.

Install pyenv.

Install Python 2.7.6 by running pyenv install 2.7.6.  If you're on a server where the legacy ingestion system is the only Python application, make that the global default by typing pyenv global 2.7.6.

Install virtualenv by typing pip install virtualenv.

Create a virtualenv environment where you will install the ingestion application. We tend to use /v1/ingestion as the virtualenv and put the application in /v1/ingestion/ingestion via git clone.

In the ingestion application:

  1. Install the necessary Python packages by running pip install -r requirements.txt in /v1/ingestion/ingestion.
  2. In ingestion, edit your akara.ini file, as suggested at https://github.com/dpla/ingestion. If you need to run the contentqa engine, set SyncQAViews=True.
  3. Run python setup.py install
  4. Create the /v1/ingestion/ingestion/logs directory: mkdir logs

  5. Run sync_couch_views.py:

    $ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dpla
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dashboard
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py bulk_download
