This is the repository for SatLomas platform backend, which contains the REST API and background jobs.

• Python 3
• PostgreSQL 9.4+ with PostGIS 2 and Timescale extensions
• GDAL, Proj, etc.

Copy env.sample as .env, and edit it to suit your needs. The following variables are mandatory:

• SECRET_KEY: This is used to provide cryptographic signing, and should be set to a unique, unpredictable string value.
• SCIHUB_USER: SciHub username. Needed for downloading Sentinel-1/2 datasets.
• SCIHUB_PASS: SciHub password. Needed for downloading Sentinel-1/2 datasets.
• MODIS_USER: USGS username. Needed for downloading MODIS datasets.
• MODIS_PASS: USGS password. Needed for downloading MODIS datasets.

There is a set of Docker images and docker-compose configuration file that manages all services:

• api Django app instance for API and Admin
• worker: RQ worker instance
• db: PostgreSQL instance with TimescaleDB and PostGIS extensions

You only need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed.

First step is to run script/docker-reset.sh to create database, run migrations and create super user.

Afterwards, run docker-compose up. If you want to run everything in the background, use docker-compose start, and afterwards docker-compose stop to stop everything.

If you need to reset again, just run script/docker-reset.sh. To stop everything and delete all volumes and networks run docker-compose down.

Youn can use script/docker-run.sh to run commands inside API container. For example: script/docker-run.sh pipenv run ./manage.py migrate to run new migrations.

Note: The following instructions are for Ubuntu 18.04. You can check TimescaleDB instalation guide if you are using another OS.

Add PostgreSQL's third party repository to get the latest PostgreSQL packages (if you are using Ubuntu older than 19.04):

# `lsb_release -c -s` should return the correct codename of your OS
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -c -s)-pgdg main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Add TimescaleDB's third party repository and install TimescaleDB, which will download any dependencies it needs from the PostgreSQL repo:

# Add TimescaleDBs PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:timescale/timescaledb-ppa
sudo apt-get update

# Now install appropriate package for PG version
sudo apt install timescaledb-postgresql-11

Tune database for TimescaleDB:

sudo timescaledb-tune

Install Python and other dependencies

sudo apt-get install \
  gdal-bin \
  gettext \
  libgdal-dev \
  libpq-dev \
  libproj-dev \
  libspatialindex-dev \
  python3 \
  python3-dev \
  python3-pip \
  redis-server

Install PostGIS 3 extension for this PostgreSQL.

sudo apt-get install postgresql-11-postgis-3

Restart PostgreSQL instance:

sudo service postgresql restart

Create a superuser role for your currently logged-in user:

sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER

Create the database:

createdb satlomas

Set user password for the user you just created (satlomas). Please replace foobar for a long and difficult to guess password:

psql satlomas -c "ALTER USER $USER WITH PASSWORD 'foobar'"

Add TimescaleDB and PostGIS extensions to the database

psql satlomas -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb CASCADE"
psql satlomas -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis CASCADE"
psql satlomas -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis_raster CASCADE"

• Copy env.sample and edit it to suit your needs. See the Configuration section above.

cp env.sample .env

• Install Python dependencies using Pipenv. Install it first if you don't have it:

pip install --user -U pipenv
pipenv install
pipenv install django-anymail[mailgun] django-rest-auth[with_social] django-storages[google]

Then inside a pipenv shell (use pipenv shell) you should first do the following:

• Run migrations: ./manage.py migrate
• Create superuser: ./manage.py createsuperuser

Now you can:

• Run server: ./manage.py runserver
• Run tests: ./manage.py test

When deploying for the first time:

• Set DEBUG=0 and ALLOWED_HOSTS list with domains/subdomains and IPs
• Also, set a long unique SECRET_KEY
• Collect statics with ./manage.py collectstatic

You can use Honcho to fire up everything (web server, workers and Flower) on your dev machine. Simple run honcho start. You can also start specific processes: honcho start web, honcho start worker, etc.

See Procfile.

When adding new translated strings:

• Run django-admin makemessages
• Update .po files
• Run django-admin compilemessages

Copy the configuration files for systemd found at tools/systemd.

gunicorn start the Django service using gunicorn.

sudo cp tools/systemd/gunicorn.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl start gunicorn.service
sudo systemctl enable gunicorn.service

rqworker@ manages multiple workers for background jobs.

sudo cp tools/systemd/rqworker@.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl start rqworker@.service
sudo systemctl enable rqworker@.service

If you make changes to those files after this, make sure then that systemd is reloaded and restart services:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart gunicorn rqworker@*

Install nginx. Copy the configuration files found on tools/nginx and restart nginx.

sudo apt install nginx
sudo cp tools/nginx/* /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/satlomas* /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Install certbot and configure it for free SSL certificates and automatic renewal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx

sudo certbot --nginx
