Todo:

make PheWeb accept pheweb serve --urlprefix /UKBiobank.
deal with Apache routing (like gvs)
backport that change to HUNT (and run it from /var/pheweb-installs/HUNT/venv/bin/pheweb serve --urlprefix /HUNT --port 9XXX)
backport that change to sardinia (and run it from /var/pheweb-installs/HUNT/venv/bin/pheweb serve --urlprefix /sard_quant --port 9XXX)
backport that change to mgi-icd9 (and run it from /var/pheweb-installs/HUNT/venv/bin/pheweb serve --urlprefix /MGI --port 9XXX)
- LATER: reload on latest master
make scripts like /etc/init/gunicorn-topmed-freeze3a-grch37.conf for each.
apache forward /pheno/.* -> /MGI/pheno/$1.

option 1: use blueprints.
option 2: make a pheweb-manager which fetches app from each pheweb-dataset and combines them using DispatcherMiddleware ("working at the WSGI level") and some of its own static pages and 301 redirects.
option 3: use app.config['APPLICATION_ROOT']
Understand how URL-prefixed application roots interact with login (ie, session cookies). If the session cookie is tied to that URL-prefix, then will API requests to that URL-prefix already have the login credentials?
Use url_for more. Use model.url_prefix for javascript.
Then what should live at /?
- MVP: definitely links to our 3+ public datasets (with a little description of each?) and maybe the 2+ private.
- LATER: "meta-pheweb": search for a single gene/variant and see the most-significant traits from all datasets.
Figure out how to host a single page at / (and also a 301 router pointing from /pheno -> /mgi/pheno &c) without injecting new session cookies that mess up the URL-prefixed application sessions. Does having a different app.config['SECRET_KEY'] mean that they won't overlap?
I'll want different versions of pheweb for the datasets. That could be do-able by modifying sys.path for each dataset's config.

@pjvandehaar Which of the two options you listed do you prefer?

pjvandehaar commented 7 years ago

I will try option 1 first.
