A global, open-source collaborative database of information on small-scale fisheries

The ISSF homepage, accessible here.

The Information System on Small-Scale Fisheries (ISSF) is an open-source research project to source information on small-scale fisheries from across the globe. The project is built on top of Python and Django, PostGIS, Foundation, and Docker.

Clone the git repository with:

git clone https://github.com/toobigtoignore/issf

Symlink (Or copy) the development compose file

ln -s docker-compose-dev.yml docker-compose.yml

Create a dummy .env file

cp issf_prod/.env.dist issf_prod/.env

Then spin up the database container. From within the issf directory run:

docker-compose up -d db

Next, acquire the test database so we can import it. There is an automated script to handle the process of importing and populating the database with the data dump called ./scripts/postgres_setup.sh; then run ./scripts/postgres_patches.sh

After that, launch the existing containers with:

docker-compose up -d

Once the other containers are running, you will still need to install the npm packages on the ISSF container. Open a shell with ./scripts/issf_shell.sh and run the npm installation commands.
