A system to manage Pulse: creates users and handle overgrowing queues. More information on the wiki.

• RabbitMQ (tested on 3.3.0)
• Python (2.6+)
• pip (to install external dependencies)
• MySQL (if you're using the sqlalchemy MySQL engine, see below)

• Clone the repository and cd into it
• Create and activate a virtualenv:

  virtualenv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

• Install the requirements:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• Copy pulseguardian/config.py.example to pulseguardian/config.py and update it with the correct settings (database, email password, etc.)

Make sure rabbitmq-server is running and you're inside the source directory (pulseguardian) before you run the following commands.

WARNING: The tests will mess with your local rabbitmq instance (wiping out existing queues, possibly deleting users) so make sure you don't run the tests on a production instance.

• Initialize the db with: python dbinit.py. WARNING: This removes any existing data the app might have previously stored in the databse.
• Optional: Generate some dummy data (dummy user account, admin account): python dbinit.py --dummy
• Run the Pulse Guardian daemon with: python guardian.py
• Run the web app (for development) with: python web.py
• For production, the web app can be run with gunicorn and such.
• Run tests with: python runtests.py
