| yumeyao | Hi I'm trying to setup a local instance of launchpad. I know that's a big topic and I tried searching but can't find a complete walkthrough. However, I just want to point out that "Build and run Launchpad" doc is kind of out-dated, which I tried following, but failed. Eventually I figured out the error: | 07:15 |
|---|---|---|
| yumeyao | by running 'rocketfuel-setup' without | 07:15 |
| yumeyao | by running 'rocketfuel-setup' without --no-workspace, it will not prepare for 'download-cache' directory as documented inside the file it self: | 07:17 |
| yumeyao | '$ git clone --depth=1 lp:lp-source-dependencies download-cache' | 07:17 |
| yumeyao | so I tried running that command manually and moved on, and eventually got a working testing instance of launchpad. | 07:18 |
| yumeyao | So I think this should be mentioned in the doc as well. | 07:18 |
| yumeyao | or maybe it should be handled by the script if the user option is without '--no-workspace' | 07:20 |
| jugmac00 | yumeyao: Do you refer to https://launchpad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/running.html ? | 07:22 |
| yumeyao | Yes, I'm talking about that docoment | 07:23 |
| yumeyao | https://dev.launchpad.net/ -> "Build and run Launchpad" -> leads me there | 07:24 |
| jugmac00 | RIght - we are in midst of moving our documentation. It will take a while, though. | 07:24 |
| jugmac00 | Would you be so kind and create an issue at https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad ? | 07:24 |
| jugmac00 | I think this should not be a manual step, but automated. | 07:25 |
| yumeyao | sure | 07:25 |
| yumeyao | I just want to confirm if I was missing something first | 07:25 |
| jugmac00 | I haven't created a manual instance for more than a year, so I cannot recall all the exact steps, but imho it should be at least partially automated, and if not, then it needs to be documented carefully. | 07:26 |
| yumeyao | I see, that just happens. | 07:29 |
| yumeyao | btw, the test instance has some ancient data initialized, doesn't come with a user authentication system, and have all the domains set as 'xxxxxx.test'. | 07:49 |
| yumeyao | If I want to convert the test instance to an even former instance for production, is there any fast commands or cheatsheets to deploy a clean instance with selected domain names, and integrate with some user authentication system? | 07:49 |
| jugmac00 | yumeyao: I do not think so, as for production we use a different way for deployment. The outlined way is just for development (afaik). | 15:40 |
| cjwatson | For better or worse, making it easy for people to deploy their own production instances was explicitly a non-goal when Launchpad was open-sourced. | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | We won't stop folks from trying, but the priority was always to make it easy to collaborate on the code for launchpad.net instead. | 15:47 |
