Outdated installation instructions? #72

Closed lkangas closed 4 years ago

lkangas commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to get ogn-python running. Point 3 in the installation instructions seemed to involve running docker-compose as per the files in the deployment directory. I also figured out how to create a new server and database in the pgadmin web ui.

But how do I advance from the next steps, running flask? Why is the command './flask'? Am i missing a flask script from the repository? My normal flask command does not support the option 'database'.

Just updated the instruction, see 1ec015c. You should work with an virtual environment (see the new step no 2).

Thanks. I'll try that out soon. Before, I managed to get flask to recognize the database init command after setting the FLASK_APP env variable, but run into another error. Be back soon.

Ok, no difference with using the virtualenv.

After setting 'export FLASK_APP=ogn_python.py' manually (I also tried setting 'export OGN_CONFIG_MODULE=config/default.py'), 'flask database init' gives me this:

no password supplied. Where should I supply this?

At https://github.com/glidernet/ogn-python/blob/d1966cf373f8320886447cb4bd2606ccde84d17a/app/__init__.py#L24 I see I don't need to set OGN_CONFIG_MODULE myself, unless I want to make changes. So nevermind that part.

Meisterschueler commented 4 years ago

If you protected your db with a password then you have to provide this password in the connection string. E.g. export SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="postgresql://postgres:mypassword@localhost:5432/ogn" You could also put this configuration in your custom OGN_CONFIG_MODULE, but this is optional.

Thank you! I managed to change that in the default.py config file for now. With this and a few other things I figured out, I think I have the system deployed. I'll go through my notes a few more times and then start playing with actually running the app. I'll open other issues if I run into any.
