Requirements
Before running the backend installation commands, make sure your system have the following packages installed:
...
| Note |
|---|
<groupid> is already filled with a system defined value, do not edit it. Simple add your own <username> to the end of the line. |
Deliverables
The backend server comes as an archive which should contain at list 2 directories:
SAMDistImages
SAMDeployment
Local Docker repository
Create and launch a local Docker repository using the following script:
| Code Block |
|---|
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2 |
Backend setup
Before running the installation sequence, one needs to update the installation scripts to:
Adjust some of the paths
Set personnal administor credentials and default database content
The first file to look into is SAMDistImages/Configuration.conf. Make sure IMAGE_SOURCE_REPOSITORY points to “localhost” and to a directory of your choice. For example:
| Code Block |
|---|
IMAGE_SOURCE_REPOSITORY=localhost:5000/sambackend/distimages |
| Note |
|---|
If you started Docker on a different port than 5000 (see Local Docker repository paragraph) then you will need to change the port number targeted in IMAGE_SOURCE_REPOSITORY. |
...
Retrieve the Dockers/SAMDeployment directory from the development project located at svn://svn.agnos.ca:3890/abc/Products/SamBackEnd/trunk into the environment where it will be installed.
...
make the SAMDeployment directory current.
...
Edit the Configuration.conf file. Set the parameters accordingly to your environment.
...
Replace the certificate (fullchain.pem) and the private key (privkey.pem) in the Server/resources directory with your own.
...
You must replace the APP_KEY in the Server/templates/laravel_env file. You can generate a new one using the following command:
| Code Block |
|---|
echo "base64:`dd if=/dev/random bs=32 count=1 | base64`" |
You can also generate a new one from the /var/www/html directory in the SAM backend container by running the command
| Code Block |
|---|
php artisan key:generate |
...
docker login dev.atheos.ca:5000
...
Initialize the permanent storage
| Code Block |
|---|
make initstorage |
...
Initialize the database
...
| Code Block |
|---|
make initdatabase |
...
Create the images
| Code Block |
|---|
make images |
...
Launch the SAM backend by issuing the following command.
| Code Block |
|---|
make run |
...
Optionally, install phpmyadmin for debugging purposes. It is not recommended. Customize the files fullchain.pem, passwd and privkey.pem in the resources directory. passwd is created with htpasswd. It contains the Apache2 passwords. Launch it by issuing the following commands:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd PhpMyAdmin
make images
make run |
Update of an existing Production installation
...
Preserve the file Configuration.conf from the previous SAMDeployment package.
...
Preserve APP_KEY value from the .env file in the Server Docker. If needed, update SAMDeployment/Server/templates/laravel_env. The value of APP_KEY must be preserved. If lost, you SAM backend environment will have many issues.
...
Stop the containers samserver_xx.yy.zz, samphpmyadmin_xx.yy.zz and samdatabase_xx.yy.zz
...
Make a backup of your storage structure set using the Configuration.conf variable STORAGE_BASE_DIRECTORY
...
Make sure you use the latest version of SAMDeployment
...
Bump up the version number in the Configuration.conf file
...
Update Configuration.conf matching the corresponding parameters from your previous one.
...
Fill in any new configuration parameters.
...
run make images
...
run make run
