This repo is created just to test keeping a synced Heroku and Github repo.

This repo contains both a webapp (sportsfronter api and the web frontend) and Android and iOS apps.

The backend maintains state, sends notification etc. The frontend applications are nearly the same, one accessible via a browser (f.ex. from a PC), the other two from Android or iOS devices. The Android and iOS apps use Cordova, i.e. it is mostly HTML and JS with a little native code to integrate it into the system and to be able to receive push messages.

• webapp - the backend API and web frontend
• android - android app that wraps the web client via Cordova and handles push messages
• ios - the iOS app, similar to the Android app

Vagrant is a command-line utility for creating virtual machines (VM) and installing and configuring software on them. It starts the VM in a headless mode, shares folders (f.ex. this one as /vagrant), forwards ports to the host machine, and runs a provisioner such as Puppet or shell to install and configure stuff on the machine.

In our case, it will provide a fully functional development environment (backend api and web client - ios and android apps use their own test environments).

1. Install latest VirtualBox and Vagrant.
2. Run vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest to install the vagrant-vbguest plugin to automatically update the guest additions as needed.
3. Run vagrant up to create and start the VM which will run all services needed.

Upon start, Vagrant will install all the dependencies, initialize the webapp (creating the admin user vagrant having the password vagrant) and start it on port 5000, which is also forwarded to the host machine's port 5000.

The webapp should thus be accessible from http://localhost:5000/ and the admin site on http://localhost:5000/admin/.

To access the dev environment, go to the project root folder and run vagrant ssh.

Important: when you make changes to the backend code, run sudo restart sportsfronter-backend inside of the Vagrant.

Backend Log: sudo less /var/log/upstart/sportsfronter-backend.log (inside vagrant)

Key commands (run from this directory):

• vagrant up to start (and, upon first use, create) the VM
• vagrant ssh to ssh into the VM (with full access to sudo)
• vagrant halt to stop the VM
• (vagrant destroy to stop and completely remove the VM; re-create with up)

To reload the backend service whenever there is changes in the python files run the following command from the vagrant box.

filewatcher -r /vagrant/ -n *.py "sudo restart sportsfronter-backend"

Possible error: "Vagrant error : Failed to mount folders in Linux guest". If you encounter this error, try vagrant ssh, followed by: sudo ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.10/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22717428/vagrant-error-failed-to-mount-folders-in-linux-guest and/or hashicorp/vagrant#3341.

TODO: This should also be available in the vagrant box.

1. Install Sass

gem install sass

2. Navigate into the prosject's static-folder

cd sportsfronter/static/webapp

3. Run Sass, and watch for changes

sass --watch scss/style.scss:css/style.css --style compressed

The staging environment is located at sportsfronter.app.iterate.no

To deploy to staging, run deploy.sh

The production environment is sportsfronter.iterate.no.

You need sudo on the server and access to the user iterate-www-sportsfronter (ask the guys at ops@iterate.no).

When access is obtained, basically just get the latest changes from the github repo in the folder /srv/sporsfronter.iterate.no/checkout/sommer2013-sportsfronter/ to deploy the updates.

After deploying, you should restart the service:

sudo service apache2 graceful

The backend log for the production environment can be found at /tmp/sportsfronter.log

A cron-job that sends messages is running on the server. Access it by logging in to the user iterate-www-sportsfronter(see Deployment) and opening the crontab for this user: crontab -e
