• check setup guide to get up the database
• add Frontend/src/environments/environment.ts file with your access token for mapbox as shown below
• run ng build --prod --output-path ../Backend/nginx/dist in the frontend folder to prepare the production frontend for nginx
• (if you don't have angular externally, run ng build --prod --output-path dist in node service in the regular docker-compose file and move the folder to ../Backend/nginx/dist)
• run python manage.py collectstatic in the django web container (access it with docker-compose exec web /bin/bash) and move the folder to ../Backend/nginx/static_files
• run docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build --scale worker=4 to start the system in production mode
• run docker-compose up (-d) in the root folder for development
• localhost:8000 should be usable immediately (this is where the API lives)
• localhost (:80) will take a while to run

Refer to https://docs.docker.com/compose/django/ for a quick overview of how the infrastructure was built.

RestAPI guide: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/

django-admin can be used inside the cli with docker-compose exec web /bin/bash

export const environment = { production: false,

mapbox: { accessToken: 'ADD YOUR SECRET TOKEN HERE' } };

• start docker containers
• start console in server container
  • python manage.py makemigrations
  • python manage.py migrate
    • this updates the database's schemes
• go to localhost:8000/dataImport
  • this imports the data if the database is currently empty (meaning once it is imported, it doesn't do anything)

To clean the database, go to localhost:8000/clearDatabase.

Install the MyPy-Plugin and run its scan. Examples for how to type python code can be found in /Backend/data/import/european_council.

In case of incompatible migrations / an out-of-date state of the database, it can be rest in the following way:

• Clear the database first

• execute shell in the web container

  • python manage.py showmigrations -- lists all previously applied migrations
  • python manage.py migrate --fake restapi zero -- undos the migrations
  • python manage.py showmigrations -- make sure that all migrations on restapi have been set to unapplied

• delete the migration files in the backend (make sure to not delete init.py)

• execute shell in the web container

  • python manage.py showmigrations -- make sure all restapi-migrations have disappeared from the list
  • python manage.py makemigrations -- re-make initial migration
  • python manage.py migrate -- apply the initial migration

  In case the DB complains that tables already exist, simply drop them manually.

In case this does not fix the problem, you can reset the entire database:

• manually drop all restapi-tables in the database (!! only the tables starting with restapi_ !!)
• reset migrations as described above
• run makemigrations, migrate to let it detect that the database is clean
• put the model classes back in
• run makemigrations, migrate again to setup the database

If you are using Windows, there might be an issue with file permissions using a local directory as a volume.

Instead, manually create a docker volume via the command: docker volume create findyourngovolume The data will then be persisted into this volume.

Postgres in docker is mapped to port 5433 (not the default 5432, since this can clash with local installations of postgres). Open the database menu in PyCharm, click on '+', 'PostgreSQL', enter correct port, username (postgres) and password (postgres). Use the 'test connection' button to make sure it actually works. Alternatively, you can also connect via pgAdmin.

All tasks that have to be performed periodically (recalculation of TW, recalculation of PageRank, ...) are managed via the database-backed work queue 'Django Background Tasks'. This queue is processed by calling 'python manage.py process_tasks' (this happens automatically by starting the tasks container). It is reset every time the server is restarted to avoid double processing of tasks. It can be reset manually by calling localhost:8000/clearBackgroundTasks. The recalculation of the TW score and PageRank is performed hourly. Additional background tasks should be initialized in background_tasks.py.
