Cluster account management tool.

Karaage manages users and projects in a cluster and can store the data in various backends.

Karaage 4 will extend Karaage 3 to allow management of resource allocations to projects based on grants. It will also make Karaage faster and more responsive.

A Karaage Enhancement Proposal -- KEP 4000 -- similar to a Python Enhancement Proposal is being developed.

A link to KEP 4000 will being added to this README once the draft is complete, and comment from the Karaage community will be sought.

The Karaage 4 documentation will be available soon on ReadTheDocs.

Prior to Karaage 4, the various Karaage modules had been in seperate repositories. They have now been brought together into one repo.

These modules are:

• karaage-applications (also see Karaage 3 karaage-applications)
• karaage-cluster-tools (also see Karaage 3 karaage-cluster-tools)
• karaage-software (also see Karaage 3 karaage-software)
• karaage-usage (also see Karaage 3 karaage-usage)

The karaage-usage plugin provides monitoring of usage information.

This plugin allows users to self register accounts with Karaage.

The lead developer for Karaage 4 is Tyson Clugg.

The steps below will guide you through setting up an instance of Karaage 4.

$ sudo apt-get remove karaage\*
$ sudo apt-get install libcrack2-dev csstidy slapd ldap-utils
$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-cracklib

You may already have these installed. If so, skip this step.

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

Add these lines to the end of your ~/.bashrc file:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Reload ~/.bashrc:

$ source ~/.bashrc

$ mkvirtualenv karaage4

Add these lines to the end of ~/.virtualenvs/karaage4/bin/postactivate:

export KARAAGE_SECRET_KEY='d4-5vjhdyi)673gd56#ge@3r8t#*)+s8z-z0l!_sy94ol!m'
export KARAAGE_DEBUG='True'
export DJANGO_PIPELINE_ENABLED='False'
export KARAAGE_DB_ENGINE='django.db.backends.mysql'

Restart the virtualenv so that these setting take effect:

$ deactivate
$ workon karaage4

$ pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/vlsci/karaage#egg=karaage4[usage,applications,software]'

$ kg-manage migrate

$ kg-manage runsslserver 0:8000
