CSEntry

Control System Entry web server.

Development

You can use docker for development:

1. Clone the repository

2. Create the database. Data will be stored under "./data" by default. You can export the PGDATA_VOLUME variable to use another directory:

   # Start only postgres so it has time to initialize
   $ docker-compose up -d postgres
   or
   $ make db
   # Initialize the database
   $ docker-compose run --rm web flask initdb
   or
   $ make initdb

3. Start the application:

   $ docker-compose up

4. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000.

5. To run the tests:

   $ make test

Once the database has been created, you only need to run docker-compose up to start the app.

Testing

By default docker-compose reads both docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.override.yml. In docker-compose.override.yml, the current directory is mounted as a volume. This is great for development.

To test the built image, we should only use the docker-compose.yml (and ignore docker-compose.override.yml).

1. Create the database:

   # Start only postgres so it has time to initialize
   $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d postgres
   or
   $ make db_image

2. Run the tests:

   $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run --rm web
   or
   $ make test_image

Backup & restore

To dump the database:

$ docker run --rm --link csentry_postgres:postgres --net csentry_default -e PGPASSWORD="<csentry_password>"
  postgres:9.6 pg_dump -h postgres -U csentry csentry_db | gzip > csentry_db.dump.gz

To restore the database:

$ gunzip -c csentry_db.dump.g | docker run --rm --link csentry_postgres:postgres --net csentry_default
  -e PGPASSWORD="<csentry_password>" -i postgres:9.6 psql -h postgres -U csentry csentry_db
