php 5+ server to host interactive maps

iperdomo commented 8 years ago

@kymni are those all the requirements for the server? Is there a database involved? how about DNS configuration? Do we need a special subdomain setup?

kymni commented 8 years ago

@iperdomo only one app (though not active) currently requires a local database server so a MySQL server can be included for it. All the rest of the apps are integrated with CartoDB which takes care of all data management. For subdomain, maybe "interactive-maps". The individual apps will then follow a directory structure

@kymni is MySQL really a requirement? Can we use PostgreSQL instead?

kymni commented 8 years ago

@iperdomo yes we can use PostgreSQL instead. Regarding the tech stack, am work on a detailed list containing the current setup, dependencies, and configurations which I'll then post to this thread. I'll however most likely post it on Monday after I get back to Nairobi

@kymni where does this stand? Any open issues we need to look at?

kymni commented 8 years ago

@mato74 this one's on me, refocusing on it to get it out the way soonest possible

mato74 commented 8 years ago

@kymni please hold on spending time on this issue as we investigate further what the best next steps are. Especially as there is a large (100%?) overlap between the interactive maps and Akvo Lumen development. I will plan a meet with you, Ivan, Lars and Mark.

In short, the strategy has been to develop Lumen to the point where we can reimplement the interactive maps there. Let's discuss this afternoon if this is still the best path forward.
