tuxedo

An improved version of the Bouncer mirror management software.

Bouncer is a Mozilla project. The new admin backend was originally written by Frederic Wenzel (fwenzel@mozilla.com).

Getting Started

Python

You need Python 2.6. Also, you probably want to run this application in a virtualenv environment.

Run easy_install pip followed by pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required Python libraries.

git submodules

The list of known languages is provided by languages.json in the directory inc/product-details/json and imported as a git submodule. The source of the data is the Mozilla product-details library.

To initialize the submodule (or pull updates from it), run this from the tuxedo root directory:

git submodule update --init

Initial Database Setup

If you're installing a new copy of Bouncer, run ./manage.py syncdb followed by ./manage.py migrate (see "Database Migrations" below).

Database Migrations

I am using South to keep track of database migrations. ./manage.py migrate will apply these migrations when necessary.

Upgrading an older version of Bouncer

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Bouncer that isn't locale- aware yet, apply sql/bouncer-add-lang.sql first.

Then, apply sql/incremental.sql to bring the DB up to date.

Finally, run the following steps to initialize Django and South:

./manage.py syncdb   # initialize django
# (answer "no" to the "add a new admin?" question)
./manage.py migrate mirror 0001 --fake   # initialize South
./manage.py migrate   # apply all existing migrations

Tuxedo API and mod_wsgi

There are multiple ways to deploy a Django project on a web server. If you want to use Apache with mod_wsgi, make sure to set it up so it passes HTTP Basic Auth credentials on to the application, otherwise the Tuxedo API won't work.

Why "tuxedo"?

In my silly mind, I chose to interpret "Bouncer" as "doorman" and subsequently decided that its new version should be codenamed like what fancy bouncers wear: a tuxedo.
