ArchiveAdministrator

This is software for managing the users and archives in the hosted archive service. It authenticates users and manages the other applications used to run the archives, including creating new instances, starting the instances, and stopping the instances as needed. It also allows customization of archive titles, logos, and themes.

This is a work in progress!! Do not use it yet unless you are helping develop the hosted archive service.

Install

Make sure you have nodejs installed

1. Pull this repository
2. Install the redis-server debian package
3. Run bundle install
4. Set the following env variables in config/initializers/tt_instance_config.rb
   • ARCHIVE_CONFIG_PATH: The path where archive config files should be saved
   • ARCHIVEADMIN_URL: The url where this application is accessible
   • HOURS_TO_ARCHIVEVM_TIMEOUT: # of hours where unused archive vms should shutdown
   • TESTMODE: Set to true if testing locally not with VM. Not needed in production.
   • PREPUB_ARCHIVE_DOMAIN: Domain used for private archives

Run App

Note: DocManager must be running

1. Run Redis: QUEUE=* rake environment resque:work
2. Start the app: rails server -p 3002
3. Run bundle exec crono RAILS_ENV=development in a session (only needed for production)
4. Start the app: rails server -p 3002 (Note: DocManager must be running)

Limitations

With the current version of this software, you still need to do the following:

1. Manually install all pipeline components

2. Start all pipeline components manually or with a script

3. Manually set all environment variables. To work, the PROJECT_INDEX and ARCHIVE_SECRET_KEY variables need to be set to those for the corresponding archive. The index name for an archive is viewable on the interface. The secret key needs to be gotten with rails console.

4. Run the OCR server manually

It does, however, create the DM project/data sources and elastic index automatically as well as config files with env variables.
