The main deployment method is using Git, Docker and Docker Compose. You only need
|
|
|
|
to have these tools installed and no further dependencies. If you want a simpler
|
2020-08-14 15:21:35 +02:00
|
|
|
setup or are interested in developing, please refer to `development

First, you have to clone this repository::
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides.git --recurse-submodules
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
cd OpenSlides/
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note about migrating from version 3.3 or earlier**: With OpenSlides 3.4 submodules
|
|
|
|
and a Docker setup were introduced. If you ran into problems try to delete your
|
|
|
|
``settings.py``. If you have an old checkout you need to check out the current master
|
|
|
|
first and initialize all submodules::
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00

Setup Docker images

You need to build the Docker images and have to setup some configuration. First,
|
|
|
|
configure HTTPS by checking the `Using HTTPS`_ section. In this section are
|
|
|
|
reasons why HTTPS is required for large deployments.
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-02-15 11:19:05 +01:00
|
|
|
Go to ``docker`` subdirectory::
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd docker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then build all images with this script::
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
./build.sh all
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2020-08-14 15:21:31 +02:00
|
|
|
You must define a Django secret key in ``secrets/django.env``, for example::
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
printf "DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='%s'\n" \
|
2020-08-14 15:21:31 +02:00
|
|
|
"$(tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' < /dev/urandom | head -c 64)" > secrets/django.env
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-14 15:21:35 +02:00
|
|
|
We also strongly recommend that you set a secure admin password but it is not
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
strictly required. If you do not set an admin password, the default login
|
|
|
|
credentials will be displayed on the login page. Setting the admin password::
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
cp secrets/adminsecret.env.example secrets/adminsecret.env
|
|
|
|
vi secrets/adminsecret.env
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2020-08-14 15:21:35 +02:00
|
|
|
Afterwards, generate the configuration file::
|
|
|
|
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
m4 docker-compose.yml.m4 > docker-compose.yml
|
2020-08-14 15:21:35 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2020-08-14 16:21:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Finally, you can start the instance using ``docker-compose``::
|
2013-10-20 02:04:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
docker-compose up
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-02-15 11:19:05 +01:00
|
|
|
OpenSlides is accessible on http://localhost:8000/ (or https, if configured).
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use can also use daemonized instance::
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-15 08:05:49 +01:00
|
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
|
|
docker-compose logs
|
|
|
|
docker-compose down

|
|
Using HTTPS
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main reason (next to obviously security ones) HTTPS is required originates
|
|
|
|
from the need of HTTP/2. OpenSlides uses streaming responses to asynchronously
|
|
|
|
send data to the client. With HTTP/1.1 one TCP-Connection per request is opened.
|
|
|
|
Browsers limit the amount of concurrent connections
|
|
|
|
(`reference<https://docs.pushtechnology.com/cloud/latest/manual/html/designguide/solution/support/connection_limitations.html>`_),
|
|
|
|
so you are limited in opening tabs. HTTPS/2 just uses one connection per browser
|
|
|
|
and eliminates these restrictions. The main point to use HTTPS is that browsers
|
|
|
|
only use HTTP/2 if HTTPS is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting up HTTPS
|
|
|
|
""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use common providers for retrieving a certificate and private key for your
|
|
|
|
deployment. Place the certificate and private key in ``caddy/certs/cert.pem``
|
|
|
|
and ``caddy/certs/key.pem``. To use a self-signed localhost certificate, you can
|
|
|
|
execute ``caddy/make-localhost-cert.sh``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The certificate and key are put into the docker image into ``/certs/``, so
|
|
|
|
setting up these files needs to be done before calling ``./build.sh``. When you
|
|
|
|
update the files, you must run ``./build.sh proxy`` again. If you want to have a
|
|
|
|
more flexible setup without the files in the image, you can also mount the
|
|
|
|
folder or the certificate and key into the running containers if you wish to do
|
|
|
|
so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If both files are not present, OpenSlides will be configured to run with HTTP
|
|
|
|
only. When mounting the files make sure, that they are present during the
|
|
|
|
container startup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caddy, the proxy used, wants the user to persist the ``/data`` directory. If you
|
|
|
|
are going to use HTTPS add a volume in your ``docker-compose.yml`` /
|
|
|
|
``docker-stack.yml`` persisting the ``/data`` directory.

|
|
|
More settings
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When generating the ``docker-compose.yml``, more settings can be adjusted in the
|
|
|
|
``docker/.env`` file. All changes for the backend are passed into djangos ``settings.py``.
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
You can find more information about most settings in the `settings documentation
|
|
|
|
<server/SETTINGS.rst>`_. To generate the ``docker-compose.yml`` use this command::
|
2020-10-28 08:34:43 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-02-05 09:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
cd docker
|
|
|
|
( set -a; source .env; m4 docker-compose.yml.m4 ) > docker-compose.yml
