Development Setup Notes

The procedure to configure a development environment is mainly covered in the top-level README.md. This document will contain more details about installing prerequisites: Just, Python 3.11, Docker, and Docker Compose.

Windows

(Tested on: Windows 2022 Server)

In Powershell, install WSL:

wsl --install
Restart-Computer

After rebooting, open Powershell (wait a minute, it may continue installing WSL). If the installation hasn't completed for some reason, wsl --install again. After WSL and an Ubuntu distribution have been installed, log in to WSL:

wsl

When running the Django website, everything should be done from a WSL session, not Powershell, DOS, or git-bash. Do not git clone the files in a DOS window, for example. However, once it's up and running, files may be edited elsewhere. The file path in explorer will be \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\opt\github\cppalliance\temp-site

Continue to the Ubuntu 22.04 instructions below. Return here before executing docker compose.

The docker daemon must be launched manually. Open a WSL window and keep it running. Otherwise there will be an error message "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

sudo dockerd

Open another terminal:

wsl

Continue (as root) to the instructions in the top-level README.md file.

Ubuntu 22.04

Check if python 3.11 is installed.

python3 --version

or install python 3.11:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3.11

Install makedeb (as a standard user, not root).

bash -ci "$(wget -qO - 'https://shlink.makedeb.org/install')"

Install just (as a standard user, not root).

sudo mkdir -p /opt/justinstall
CURRENTUSER=$(whoami)
sudo chown $CURRENTUSER /opt/justinstall
chmod 777 /opt/justinstall
cd /opt/justinstall
git clone 'https://mpr.makedeb.org/just'
cd just
makedeb -si

Install docker and docker-compose.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

As root, clone the repository and switch to that directory.

sudo su -
mkdir -p /opt/github/cppalliance
cd /opt/github/cppalliance
git clone https://github.com/cppalliance/temp-site
cd temp-site
cp env.template .env

Continue (as the root user) to the instructions in the top-level README.md file. Or if using WSL, review the last few steps in that section again.

The advantage of running docker compose as root is the userid (0) will match the containers and the shared files.

Local Development

Social Login with django-allauth

Follow these instructions to use the social logins through django-allauth on your local machine.

See https://testdriven.io/blog/django-social-auth/ for more information.

  • Go to https://github.com/settings/applications/new and add a new OAuth application
  • Set http://localhost:8000 as the Homepage URL
  • Set http://localhost:8000/accounts/github/login/callback/ as the Callback URL
  • Click whether you want to enable the device flow
The GitHub screen that registers a new OAuth app
  • Log in to the admin
  • Click on Social Applications
The Social Accounts section of the Django admin
  • Click Add Social Application
  • Choose GitHub as the provider
  • Enter a name like "GitHub OAuth Provider"
  • Enter the Client ID from GitHub
  • Go back to GitHub and generate a new Client Secret, then copy it into the Secret Key field. Choose the site as a Chosen sites and save.

It's ready!

Working locally: If you need to run through this flow multiple times, create a superuser so you can log into the admin. Then, log into the admin and delete your "Social Account" from the admin. This will test a fresh connection to GitHub for your logged-in GitHub user.

To test the flow including authorizing Github for the Boost account, log into your GitHub account settings and click Applications in the left menu. Find the "Boost" authorization and delete it. The next time you log into Boost with this GitHub account, you will have to re-authorize it.

The 'Authorized OAuth Apps' tab in your GitHub Applications
