Nepal Map Federal

The Nepal instance of Wazimap, a Django application for exploring census and other similar data.

Local development

1. clone the repo
2. cd nepalmap_federal
3. mkvirtualenv nepalmap_venv
4. workon nepalmap_venv
5. pip install -r requirements.txt

You might need to install certain dependencies on Ubuntu before you can install dependencies via pip for the app.

• sudo apt install -y libgdal-dev postgresql-server-dev-9.5
• export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal
• export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal

You will need a Postgres database:

psql -U postgres
create user wazimap_np with password 'wazimap_np';
create database wazimap_np;
grant all privileges on database wazimap_np to wazimap_np;

Import the sql files needed for SimpleTable entries:

cat sql/simpletables/*.sql | psql -U wazimap_np -W wazimap_np

Run migrations to keep Django happy:

python manage.py migrate

Import data for all the tables:

cat sql/*.sql | psql -U wazimap_np -W wazimap_np

Start the server:

python manage.py runserver

Docker based setup

Using this setup, one can run the project inside docker containers. This make the environments lightweight, reproducible and portable.

Requirements

Only the following things are required on your host machine. Nothing else needs to be installed.

• GNU Make ( Version 4.0 and up )
• Docker Engine ( Version 17.06 and hopefully upwards )
• Docker Compose ( Version 1.14 and hopefully upwards )

Development environment

All commands are provided as make targets via Makefile. One can use docker and docker-compose directly for running the services, but some helpers are provided for consistency.

An application environment context (dev, stage, prod) has to be set along with any of the make ... commands. You can either export this in your shell environment, or pass it as an argument to the make target.

# Get all the Makefile documentation
APP_ENV=dev make help

# Start the web application
APP_ENV=dev make start

Staging and Production environment (stage and prod)

This is very much similar to running the dev environment. Caddy is used instead of Nginx, because of it's automatic HTTPS certs and other easier-to-configure things. Some commands are added, else much of them are the same as above, expect for the APP_ENV context set to correct environment.

# Run in staging
APP_ENV=stage make ...

# Run in production
APP_ENV=prod make ...

NOTE: Check the comments in compose.<env>.yml before running them.
