DataMaps

This is an old development repository. We are currently working on a new version.

The currently active branches are reserach_sensorreceive and research_client.

Prerequisites

• Datamaps running with a local MongoDB

On Mac OS install via homebrew:

brew install mongodb

• meteor

On Mac OS or Linux:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

• Data Folder with correct permissions: A certain data folder structure is expected. /hnet/incoming/current + /hnet/outgoing should exist. Also, folders for incoming data from each site need to exists when sites have been created.

• For pushing data out, the server is using lftp which must be installed.

Note: The bootstraping data that is in the repository doesn't work correctly if the data folder have not been setup correctly.

Getting started

Run the following:

• meteor npm install

Testing in local development environment

MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/DataMaps meteor

For debugging with node inspector run MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/DataMaps meteor debug and open the app in Chrome with the port listed once the app has started.

Deployment with PM2

• change into the working directory and run meteor build . - this will generate a *.tar .gz file
• move the file to the install location nd extract it (you will end up with a bundle directory
• cd bundle/programs/server/ and npm install
• generate a configuration file for PM2 (see example gist) outside of bundle
• run pm2 start [your_pm2_conf_file] --node-args="--max_old_space_size=8192"
