Running Portia 2.0 UI on portia-orm-on-django branch

[eng1neer]

I'm having trouble running vagrant on portia-orm-on-django branch. Everything's ok on the master branch, but after switching to portia-orm-on-django and running vagrant up, I couldn't connect to localhost:9001.

Is there anything else that needs to be done in order to run Portia 2.0 UI?

Hi @eng1neer. I need to re add support for vagrant in that branch. Can you use docker? If so you can launch portia using:

cd portia
docker build -t portia .
cd portiaui
npm install
bower install
ember build -e production
docker run -i -t --rm -v ~/scrapinghub/data:/app/slyd/slyd/data/projects:rw -p 9001:9001 portia

Hi @ruairif , thank you for the instructions. I tried to run it and got 502 Bad Gateway from nginx. Here is an output of docker run -i -t --rm -v ~/scrapinghub/data:/app/slyd/slyd/data/projects:rw -p 9001:9001 portia:

You have 12 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): auth, contenttypes, db_repo, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

I see that there are 2 errors regarding inexisting /app/portiaui/dist directory and unapplied migrations. Could you please advise on how to best deal with these?

[sagelliv]

@eng1neer Portia works with Django and Ember. In this case, the migration error is referring to database migrations that have to be run to properly setup the Django database. For the /app/portiaui/dist directory error this means you are not building the Ember assets correctly. Use ember build -w within the portiaui directory to build Ember.

@sagelliv Thanks, got it running, but Portia displays a page without projects. How can I create one?

[eng1neer]

This is fixed in #670 and I think this can be closed
