Roll out to pilot

[richard-jones]

• [x] Make it possible to install uniboard automatically by putting a dependency to esprit
• [x] Update the config, including turn debug off and add mandrill email
• [x] Obtain UniBoard Google Maps key
• [x] Make sure Google Maps key works with chosen domain
• [x] Obtain a Mandrill Key for UniBoard
• [x] Cron jobs
  • expire articles
• [x] make accounts for @emanuil-tolev, @richard-jones, @Nimphal, @mjb295
• [x] HTTPS security - set up, help Matt buy a cert, install it

Then usual setup stuff, like snapshot, testing, etc.

[emanuil-tolev]

Put esprit in requirements.txt (point to specific commit in @richard-jones repo), then let it cascade to setup.py for all the normal libs. This will allow automatic installation of esprit with pip install -r requirements.txt without duplicating the requirements over both the .txt and setup.py.

(Read this if interested in the conventions and abilities of setup.py and requirements.txt: https://caremad.io/blog/setup-vs-requirement/ )

EDIT: to clarify, it's impossible to put a reference to commit + git repo in setup.py, only requirements.txt can do that. The blog post I linked to explains why.

Set up some admin accounts for us:

python portality/scripts/createuser.py -u [name] -e [email] -p [password] -r admin

For @mjb295, me, @emanuil-tolev and @Nimphal

[emanuil-tolev]

@mjb295 @richard-jones do we have a domain name for the live version? For now I'll make it available under uniboard.cottagelabs.com (notice the missing "ooz" part), but it'd be best to have a separate name of course.

[emanuil-tolev]

Is HTTPS a requirement @richard-jones ? There's no space on the CL cert, a separate one will be needed if this is required. £49/year.

[mjb295]

I have several domains through go daddy including: www.uni-board.co.uk we were hoping to have the uniboard domain for the site and use at Brunel as: www.brunel.uni-board.co.uk please advise?

Yeah, HTTPS is a requirement. Does the hosting package come with a certificate? If not, I'll pay for the first year out of the dev budget.

Richard Jones,

@mjb295 ok, excellent. We'll have to point them at the new shiny uniboard server. Can you send me an email at emanuil@cottagelabs.com since I don't have your email address? We can then work out how to do it, either via a Google Hangout a bit later (e.g. thursday) or via sharing user/pass - whatever suits you.

@richard-jones no, it doesn't, we should clarify that. And ok, I will set that up.

[emanuil-tolev]

Otherwise it's live at http://uniboard.cottagelabs.com/ ! We'll sort out the domain, security cert and regularly running scripts and we're all done!

I recommend shrinking that front page image a bit more, it's almost 1Mb.

[mjb295]

Good idea to shrink image further, still bait sluggish...

OK, actually I'll shrink it, it has predefined dimensions already so I'll bring it down to those. Size should go down by 60% at least.

[emanuil-tolev]

Shrunk, digital size is down 16 times from original. Looks the same to me in terms of quality.

[emanuil-tolev]

Set up some admin accounts for us:

python portality/scripts/createuser.py -u [name] -e [email] -p [password] -r admin For @mjb295, me, @emanuil-tolev and @Nimphal

Just to record here, when giving the -u parameter make it the same as the -e parameter! Breakage will happen otherwise. If people register from the app itself it's all ok anyway.

[emanuil-tolev]

HTTPS setup, roll-out to https://brunel.uni-board.co.uk/ complete, more info sent over email.

uni-board.co.uk , www.uni-board.co.uk and www.brunel.uni-board.co.uk will all redirect to brunel.uni-board.co.uk .
