NOTE: You can call your geonode project whatever you like except 'geonode'. Follow the naming conventions for python packages (generally lower case with underscores (_
). In the examples below, replace {{ project_name }}
with whatever you would like to name your project.
To setup your project follow these instructions:
-
Generate the project
git clone https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project.git -b <your_branch> source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 {{ project_name }} pip install Django==3.2.16 django-admin startproject --template=./geonode-project -e py,sh,md,rst,json,yml,ini,env,sample,properties -n monitoring-cron -n Dockerfile {{ project_name }} cd {{ project_name }}
-
Create the .env file
An
.env
file is requird to run the application. It can be created from the.env.sample
either manually or with the create-envfile.py script.The script accepts several parameters to create the file, in detail:
- hostname: e.g. master.demo.geonode.org, default localhost
- https: (boolean), default value is False
- email: Admin email (this is required if https is set to True since a valid email is required by Letsencrypt certbot)
- env_type:
prod
,test
ordev
. It will set theDEBUG
variable toFalse
(prod
,test
) orTrue
(dev
) - geonodepwd: GeoNode admin password (required inside the .env)
- geoserverpwd: Geoserver admin password (required inside the .env)
- pgpwd: PostgreSQL password (required inside the .env)
- dbpwd: GeoNode DB user password (required inside the .env)
- geodbpwd: Geodatabase user password (required inside the .env)
- clientid: Oauth2 client id (required inside the .env)
- clientsecret: Oauth2 client secret (required inside the .env)
- secret key: Django secret key (required inside the .env)
- sample_file: absolute path to a env_sample file used to create the env_file. If not provided, the one inside the GeoNode project is used.
- file: absolute path to a json file that contains all the above configuration
NOTE:
-
if the same configuration is passed in the json file and as an argument, the CLI one will overwrite the one in the JSON file
-
If some value is not provided, a random string is used
Example USAGE
python create-envfile.py -f /opt/core/geonode-project/file.json \ --hostname localhost \ --https \ --email [email protected] \ --geonodepwd gn_password \ --geoserverpwd gs_password \ --pgpwd pg_password \ --dbpwd db_password \ --geodbpwd _db_password \ --clientid 12345 \ --clientsecret abc123
Example JSON expected:
{ "hostname": "value", "https": "value", "email": "value", "geonodepwd": "value", "geoserverpwd": "value", "pgpwd": "value", "dbpwd": "value", "geodbpwd": "value", "clientid": "value", "clientsecret": "value" }
Skip this part if you want to run the project using Docker instead see Start your server using Docker
-
Setup the Python Dependencies
NOTE: Important: modify your
requirements.txt
file, by adding theGeoNode
branch before continue!(see Hints: Configuring
requirements.txt
)cd src pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade pip install -e . --upgrade # Install GDAL Utilities for Python pip install pygdal=="`gdal-config --version`.*" # Dev scripts mv ../.override_dev_env.sample ../.override_dev_env mv manage_dev.sh.sample manage_dev.sh mv paver_dev.sh.sample paver_dev.sh source ../.override_dev_env # Using the Default Settings sh ./paver_dev.sh reset sh ./paver_dev.sh setup sh ./paver_dev.sh sync sh ./paver_dev.sh start
-
Access GeoNode from browser
NOTE: default admin user is
admin
(with pw:admin
)http://localhost:8000/
You need Docker 1.12 or higher, get the latest stable official release for your platform. Once you have the project configured run the following command from the root folder of the project.
-
Run
docker-compose
to start it up (get a cup of coffee or tea while you wait)docker-compose build --no-cache docker-compose up -d
set COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1
before running
docker-compose up
-
Access the site on http://localhost/
NOTE: In this example we are going to keep localhost as the target IP for GeoNode
docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml -f docker-compose.development.override.yml up
NOTE: In this example we are going to publish to the public IP http://123.456.789.111
vim .env
--> replace localhost with 123.456.789.111 everywhere
docker-compose up --build -d
docker-compose stop
WARNING: This will wipe out all the repositories created until now.
NOTE: The images must be stopped first
docker system prune -a
SOURCE_URL=$SOURCE_URL TARGET_URL=$TARGET_URL ./{{project_name}}/br/backup.sh $BKP_FOLDER_NAME
-
BKP_FOLDER_NAME: Default value = backup_restore Shared Backup Folder name. The scripts assume it is located on "root" e.g.: /$BKP_FOLDER_NAME/
-
SOURCE_URL: Source Server URL, the one generating the "backup" file.
-
TARGET_URL: Target Server URL, the one which must be synched.
e.g.:
docker exec -it django4{{project_name}} sh -c 'SOURCE_URL=$SOURCE_URL TARGET_URL=$TARGET_URL ./{{project_name}}/br/backup.sh $BKP_FOLDER_NAME'
SOURCE_URL=$SOURCE_URL TARGET_URL=$TARGET_URL ./{{project_name}}/br/restore.sh $BKP_FOLDER_NAME
-
BKP_FOLDER_NAME: Default value = backup_restore Shared Backup Folder name. The scripts assume it is located on "root" e.g.: /$BKP_FOLDER_NAME/
-
SOURCE_URL: Source Server URL, the one generating the "backup" file.
-
TARGET_URL: Target Server URL, the one which must be synched.
e.g.:
docker exec -it django4{{project_name}} sh -c 'SOURCE_URL=$SOURCE_URL TARGET_URL=$TARGET_URL ./{{project_name}}/br/restore.sh $BKP_FOLDER_NAME'
Step 1. Install Git (for Linux, Mac or Windows).
Step 2. Init git locally and do the first commit:
git init
git add *
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
Step 3. Set up a free account on github or bitbucket and make a copy of the repo there.
You may want to configure your requirements.txt, if you are using additional or custom versions of python packages. For example
Django==3.2.16
git+git://github.com/<your organization>/geonode.git@<your branch>
In case you need to increase the PostgreSQL Max Connections , you can modify the POSTGRESQL_MAX_CONNECTIONS variable in .env file as below:
POSTGRESQL_MAX_CONNECTIONS=200
In this case PostgreSQL will run accepting 200 maximum connections.
Testing with vagrant works like this: What vagrant does:
Starts a vm for test on docker swarm: - configures a GeoNode project from template every time from your working directory (so you can develop directly on geonode-project). - exposes service on localhost port 8888 - rebuilds everytime everything with cache [1] to avoid banning from docker hub with no login. - starts, reboots to check if docker services come up correctly after reboot.
vagrant plugin install vagrant-reload
#test things for docker-compose
vagrant up
# check services are up upon reboot
vagrant ssh geonode-compose -c 'docker ps'
Test geonode on http://localhost:8888/
To clean up things and delete the vagrant box:
vagrant destroy -f
What vagrant does:
Starts a vm for test on docker swarm: - configures a GeoNode project from template every time from your working directory (so you can develop directly on geonode-project). - exposes service on localhost port 8888 - rebuilds everytime everything with cache [1] to avoid banning from docker hub with no login. - starts, reboots to check if docker services come up correctly after reboot.
To test on a docker swarm enable vagrant box:
vagrant up
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile.stack vagrant up
# check services are up upon reboot
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile.stack vagrant ssh geonode-compose -c 'docker service ls'
Test geonode on http://localhost:8888/ Again, to clean up things and delete the vagrant box:
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile.stack vagrant destroy -f
for direct deveolpment on geonode-project after first vagrant up
to rebuild after changes to project, you can do vagrant reload
like this:
vagrant up
What vagrant does (swarm or comnpose cases):
Starts a vm for test on plain docker service with docker-compose: - configures a GeoNode project from template every time from your working directory (so you can develop directly on geonode-project). - rebuilds everytime everything with cache [1] to avoid banning from docker hub with no login. - starts, reboots.
[1] to achieve docker-compose build --no-cache
just destroy vagrant boxes vagrant destroy -f
