What is the difference between automation config vs normal config

[mhkeller]

@abelsonlive,

Automation config Core config

Automation doesn't have sqlalchemy_database_uri for instance.

When using Automation, what do the file paths for defaults correspond to? If the user wants to use our default tag and recipes in https://github.com/newslynx/newslynx-core/tree/master/newslynx/dot_newslynx/defaults, what do they do during the automation and installation phase?

# Filepaths to default recipes + tags to add for each
# new organization.
default_recipes: ~/.newslynx/defaults/recipes.yaml
default_tags: ~/.newslynx/defaults/tags.yaml

[mhkeller]

It appears that newslynx init during automation doesn't do --app-defaults? https://github.com/newslynx/automation/blob/master/provisioning/newslynx-core.yaml#L69

[abelsonlive]

It was because these things were done at different times. I'll remove the defaults from automation and use --app-defaults. The canonical place for the App's defaults will then be: https://github.com/newslynx/newslynx-core/tree/master/newslynx/dot_newslynx/defaults.

[mhkeller]

They should still be able to overwrite the config values when using automation, tho right? Like, their Google App and Twitter app keys for instance. Or, if someone wants to specify their own default tags when running automation, could they still enter the path to local tags.yaml?

[mhkeller]

By "they" i mean users

[mhkeller]

These values seem like what users would want to configure each time. And if they include these values in config.yaml within automation they overwrite what is in dot_newslynx. or is there a better workflow?

secret_key: changeme
app_secret_key: changemetoo
super_user: admin
super_user_email: changeme@example.com
super_user_password: admin
super_user_apikey: mj
super_user_org: 'admin'
super_user_timezone: UTC

# The Database URI (This is mandatory!)
sqlalchemy_database_uri: postgres://localhost:5432/newslynx

# Filepaths to default recipes + tags to add for each
# new organization.
default_recipes: ~/.newslynx/defaults/recipes.yaml
default_tags: ~/.newslynx/defaults/tags.yaml

# # Twitter
# twitter_api_key: dsfadfad
# twitter_api_secret: 3824-3482-341234

# # Google Analytics
# google_analytics_client_id: sdfasdfsafd
# google_analytics_client_secret: o34823-4-23234

# # Facebook
# facebook_app_id: 24123413412
# facebook_app_secret: lajd38opru2j

The sql_alchemy_database_uri could probably be removed since that is a default that only an expert would want to configure and certainly wouldn't change if you're doing automation

[mhkeller]

also needed is api_ur: http://localhost:5000l for the app.

[mhkeller]

And api_version: v1
