To download source and set up environment:
::
Grab source from git:
$ git clone git@github.com:GridControl-Team/GridControl.git
Make a virtualenv or else
$ mkvirtualenv gridcontrol
Install other requirements:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Create local settings:
$ cp gridcontrol/settings.py.sample gridcontrol/settings.py
Edit that settings file and add the secrets you need:
$ vim gridcontrol/settings.py
Do djangoy setup
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate
The test server can live with python's built-in sqlite for the Django ORM, but the game itself requires redis. So grab redis however you need and run it on the default port.
GridControl: Public facing Django site that users see
GridLang: gridlang language vm and parser code
GridStream: tornado server using socket.io to stream realtime bot status
::
supervisord method:
$ ./runserver.sh
Supervisord is configured to automatically start the celery and tornado
servers. The django site can be started with either start gridcontrol_gunicorn
for production machines, or start gridcontrol_runserver
for local
development.
Or look inside of the supervisor conf to see the commands to run the separate services.
