HowTo Setup

Required infrastructure:

• some WSGI-capable webserver (nginx + uwsgi, …)
• some database (postgres, …)
• some LDAP server (Samba 4, slapd, …) for accounts and groups
• texlive
• some message broker for celery (redis, …)

Optional infrastructure:

• a mail server (for sending protocols and invitations)
• a CUPS printing server (for printing protocols and decisions)
• an Etherpad (for writing the protocol collectively)
• a Mediawiki instance (for uploading the protocols there)
• a CalDAV server (for uploading the events)

Steps:

1. clone the repository
2. create a python virtualenv and install the packages from requirements.txt there
3. create a database (tested with postgres and sqlite, but feel free to use whatever you like and SQLAlchemy supports
4. copy config.py.example to config.py and edit it

• do change everything commented with change this
• do not change the lines commented with do not change
• deactivate unwanted features with SOMETHING_ACTIVE = False
• if you want to use a feature, set the connection configuration lines accordingly
• define a list of authentication backends (usually one):
  • use LdapManager for slapd
  • use ADManager for Samba
  • write your own for anything else (see auth.py, just the methods authenticate and groups are required)
• define the available printers (if wanted) with a list of options they should use (see lpoptions)
• if you do not know what a MediaWiki-domain is, you probably don't need it
• fix the path to the fonts (and select which to use)
• most points should be documented in the example config

5. create the database schema with ./server.py db upgrade
6. configure your server to run the wsgi-application and the celery-server

• if you use systemd, example service files are located in example-config/ in this repository

7. configure your webserver to serve the wsgi-application

• if you use uwsgi+nginx, example config if located in example-config/
• don't forget to pass the correct IP if you use some proxy-setup and want to use IP-based access per protocol type

8. Test if it is working properly
