======================================= Installing and Running for Developers ======================================= StoryBoard has two main components: the API server, and the Javascript-based web client. The API server is essential, but the webclient can be swapped out for an alternative if an alternative is available. This means it is possible to use a different user interface with the StoryBoard API; install instructions for those are detailed in their own repos (eg: boartty, a commandline interface, is available here: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/boartty/). This install guide will cover the API and the most widely-used StoryBoard webclient. Installing and Upgrading the API server ======================================= .. note:: If you are using a Virtual Machine (VM), all commands that begin with ``tox`` will need to be preceeded by ``sudo``. 1. To start the API server, make sure you have the following packages installed locally: * libpq-dev * libmysqlclient-dev * python-dev * MySQL :: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev python-dev sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 #Here you will be asked to set a password mysql --version .. note:: MySQL must be >= 5.6 2. Clone the StoryBoard repository:: git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/storyboard cd storyboard 3. Add MySQL user and create database: .. note:: You will need to replace the ``$DB_USER`` with ``root``. It will prompt for a password; this is the password you set when you ran ``sudo apt-get mysql-server-5.6`` in step 1. :: mysql -u $DB_USER -p -e 'DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS storyboard;' mysql -u $DB_USER -p -e 'CREATE DATABASE storyboard;' 4. Copy the sample configuration file:: cp ./etc/storyboard.conf.sample ./etc/storyboard.conf 5. Edit ``./etc/storyboard.conf`` and in the ``oauth`` section, add your IP Adress to the list of ``valid_oauth_clients``. Then in the ``database`` section, on the line which reads ``# connection = mysql+pymysql://root:pass@127.0.0.1:3306/storyboard?charset=utf8mb4``, replace the ``pass`` with your password (the same as used in the above steps). On both of these lines you will need to remove the ``#``. 6. Install tox:: sudo apt-get install python-pip pip install tox 7. Upgrade DB schema to the latest version:: tox -e venv -- storyboard-db-manage --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf upgrade head 8. Start the API server:: tox -e venv -- storyboard-api --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf Installing the Javascript-based web client ========================================== 1. To build and start the web client, you will need this dependency set installed locally: * Python 2.6 or 2.7 * Node.js v0.10.29 or newer (see https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/ for more information on getting the right package for your distribution) * npm v1.3.10 or newer (this will be bundled with Node.js) (Ubuntu Trusty packages are sufficient, even though they indicate an older version. MySQL must be >= 5.6.) 2. Clone the StoryBoard webclient:: git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/storyboard-webclient cd storyboard-webclient 3. Do **one** of the following that applies to you. a. Run a local development server, which uses the localhost API. :: tox -egrunt_no_api -- serve b. Run a local development server, which binds to a specific IP and consumes the localhost API. :: tox -egrunt_no_api -- serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 c. Run a local development server, which uses the production API. :: tox -egrunt_no_api -- serve:prod Using your development StoryBoard ================================= Once the API and the webclient development server are running, you can use your development instance of StoryBoard in a few ways. By default, the webclient development server uses port 9000, and so can be accessed by navigating to `http://localhost:9000/` in a web browser. In order to log in, the hostname or IP address being used here will need to be in the `valid_oauth_clients` key of `./etc/storyboard.conf` for the API. By default, the API server uses port 8080, and so the API can be accessed at `http://localhost:8080/`. That will produce a 404 as the API doesn't actually serve anything on the `/` endpoint. The API endpoints that are available are documented on the :doc:`../webapi/v1` page. The webclient server also forwards `/api` to the API server, so it is also possible to use the API by sending requests to `http://localhost:9000/api/`. Make user an admin - current bug ================================ Once logged into the webclient, this user needs to be set to admin manually due to a current bug in Storyboard. 1. Ensure that you have logged into your Storyboard instance at least once so that your user details are stored in the database. 2. Run mysql and change your user to superadmin:: mysql -u root -p use storyboard; update users set is_superuser=1; Optional steps: Seed database with base data ============================================ 1. If you want to define superusers in the database, copy ``./etc/superusers.yaml.sample`` to ``./etc/superusers.yaml`` and define a few superuser IDs. 2. Enable the superusers in the database:: tox -e venv -- storyboard-db-manage --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf load_superusers ./etc/superusers.yaml 3. If you want to quickly set up a set of projects and project groups in the database, copy ``./etc/projects.yaml.sample`` to ``./etc/projects.yaml`` and define a few projects and project groups. 4. Create the projects and projectgroups in the DB:: tox -e venv -- storyboard-db-manage --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf load_projects ./etc/projects.yaml Optional steps: Set up the notifications daemon =============================================== .. note:: If you followed the "Launch the development VM" instuctions above, this step is unnecessary. 1. Install rabbitmq on your development machine:: sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server 2. Create a rabbitmq user/password for StoryBoard (more information can be found in the `rabbitmq manpages`_):: # (username) (password) sudo rabbitmqctl add_user storyboard storyboard sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / storyboard ".*" ".*" ".*" .. _rabbitmq manpages: https://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmqctl.8.html#User_Management 3. Set up your storyboard.conf file for notifications using rabbitmq:: [DEFAULT] enable_notifications = True [notifications] rabbit_host=127.0.0.1 rabbit_login_method = AMQPLAIN rabbit_userid = storyboard rabbit_password = storyboard rabbit_port = 5672 rabbit_virtual_host = / 4. Restart your API server (if it is running):: tox -e venv "storyboard-api --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf" 5. Run the worker daemon:: tox -e venv "storyboard-worker-daemon --config-file ./etc/storyboard.conf"
