BornHack Media Archive

What

The BornHack Media Archive is a site for sharing pictures and video from BornHack events. It uses the BornHack website oauth2 provider for login.

How

Note! The server is using database functions not compatible with sqlite. Use postgresql instead.

• Copy bma/environment_settings.py.dist to bma/environment_settings.py and either edit it directly, or use .env file or environment variables to configure.
  • Set OAUTH_SERVER_BASEURL to point to a local instance of the BornHack website eg. http://127.0.0.1:8000, or leave it pointing at the prod bornhack.dk server.
• Create an oauth app on the BornHack instance you specified in OAUTH_SERVER_BASEURL:
  • login to the BornHack instance and go to the url OAUTH_SERVER_BASEURL/o/applications.
  • register a new app.
  • client type confidential
  • grant type authorization code
  • redirect uri's BMA_BASEURL/accounts/bornhack/login/callback/ eg. http://127.0.0.1:8001/accounts/bornhack/login/callback/.
• Run manage.py migrate
  • If you get a database error about missing 'gist', you need to run create extension btree_gist; on your postgresql instance.
• Run manage.py createsuperuser to create a local database user in the BMA instance
• Log in with the superuser and add a social app on the BMA admin website using the client id and secret from the bornhack website used in the above step.
• Move example.com to chosen sites.

It should now be possible to login to BMA using a BornHack account.

To use the CLI app for uploading or BMA workers make sure the url of the autocreated oauth application for the user matches the BMA instance (for localhost dev change https to http).
