The backend can be run inside a docker container for testing purposes. To build and start backend with database to be stored in your ~/ksi-be execute ./.docker/build.sh --run ~/ksi-db ~/ksi-data. Already built docker images can be started by running ./.docker/start.sh ~/ksi-db ~/ksi-data or docker start -i ksi-be if it was started at least one time before.

Though most of the API works out-of-the box, it is possible that you will run into unexpected errors. If so, please create Issue with report and reproduction steps.

• Python 3.7+
• virtualenv
• packages from requirements.txt
• isolate

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run init-makedirs.sh.
3. Install virtualenv & packages into ksi-py3-venv directory.

   virtualenv -p python3 ksi-py3-venv
   source ksi-py3-venv/bin/activate
   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Enter db url into config.py file. Format is the same as specified in config.py.dist
5. Uncomment part of the app.py, which creates database structure.
6. Run the server, comment the database-create-section in run.py
7. Install isolate with box directory /tmp/box.
8. Bind-mount /etc directory to /opt/etc (this is required for sandbox to work):

   $ mount --bind /etc /opt/etc
   

   Do not forget to add it to /etc/fstab.
9. Optional: make /tmp tmpfs.
10. Optional: ensure the server will be started after system boots up (run ./runner start).

• To start server run: ./runner start.
• To stop server run: ./runner stop.
• The runner script must be executed in server`s root directory.
• Logs are stored in /var/log/gunicorn/*.
