Deconst, Integrated

Deconst Integrated is a docker-compose configuration that instantiates a single collection of Deconst services, with all of the debug settings cranked up to full. It's useful for:

• Integration testing of Deconst components, before you commit to master and
• Previewing local content or control repository changes

Prerequisites

OSX

• Install a recent version of Docker

Windows or Linux

1. Install docker-compose
2. Create a docker-machine dev instance:

   docker-machine create --driver virtualbox dev

3. Run eval $(docker-machine env default) in each shell that you'll use to interact with Docker.

Edit the env file

Clone this Deconst Integrated repository and change to the directory where you cloned the repo. Customize your credentials and other settings in the env file. Setting the variables correctly require knowing your Rackspace Cloud account info and also where you intend to clone the control repo.

1. Copy the example file to env:

   cp env.example env

2. Edit the env file in a text editor and change it as appropriate for your environment.

3. Since this a local test environment, any API key is fine. To create a random API key, type:

   hexdump -v -e '1/1 "%.2x"' -n 40 /dev/random
   50d1606d4bd6bd1a5f2adefdcae603deff9b012a164cb8bf0b68caf3638d8e868

4. Paste the key between the quotes on this line in the env file:

   # The content service's administrative API Key. Used for write actions.
   # Set this to something arbitrary and "random". While you're running locally it doesn't need to
   # be anything particularly difficult.
   export ADMIN_APIKEY=50d1606d4bd6bd1a5f2adefdcae603deff9b012a164cb8bf0b68caf3638d8e868

5. Set the domain name of the published documentation site:

   # Set this to the domain name of the site you're interested in.
   export PRESENTED_URL_DOMAIN=deconst.horse

6. Set the location of your control repository. For example, for deconst.horse:

   # Set this to a path to a control repository on your local
   # machine to preview local changes to a control repository.
   unset CONTROL_REPO_HOST_PATH
   export CONTROL_REPO_HOST_PATH="/Users/writer1/deconst-docs-control"

Start integrated services

Launch the services:

script/up

The script/up command accepts any parameters that docker-compose up does. Notably, you can use script/up -d to launch services in the background.

Option: Run the Docker containers manually

As an alternative to the up script, you can manually run each Docker container, as follows:

# generate an admin API key for the content service
APIKEY=$(hexdump -v -e '1/1 "%.2x"' -n 128 /dev/random)
echo "Content Service Admin API Key:" $APIKEY

# start content service dependencies
docker run -d --name elasticsearch elasticsearch:1.7
docker run -d --name mongo mongo:2.6

# build and deploy the content service
cd ${CODE_ROOT}/content-service
docker build --tag content-service:dev .
docker run -d -p 9000:8080 \
  -e NODE_ENV=development \
  -e STORAGE=memory \
  -e MONGODB_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/content \
  -e ELASTICSEARCH_HOST=http://elasticsearch:9200/ \
  -e ADMIN_APIKEY=${APIKEY} \
  --link mongo:mongo \
  --link elasticsearch:elasticsearch \
  --name content \
  content-service:dev script/inside/dev

# build and deploy the presenter service
cd ${CODE_ROOT}/presenter
docker build --tag presenter:dev .
docker run -d -p 80:8080 \
  -e NODE_ENV=development \
  -e CONTROL_REPO_PATH=/var/control-repo \
  -e CONTROL_REPO_URL=... \
  -e CONTROL_REPO_BRANCH=... \
  -e CONTENT_SERVICE_URL=http://content:8080 \
  -e PRESENTED_URL_PROTO=http \
  -e PRESENTED_URL_DOMAIN=deconst.horse \
  --link content \
  --name presenter \
  presenter:dev script/dev

Submitting content

Now the site is running, but you don't have any content submitted, yet. To add some, run the appropriate script/add-* script with the path to your clone of a local content repository.

# (do this first to render styling)
# add the control repository:
script/add-assets ~/writing/drc/deconst-docs-control

# add a Sphinx site:
script/add-sphinx ~/writing/drc/docs-quickstart

# add a Jekyll site:
script/add-jekyll ~/writing/drc/docs-developer-blog

Updating content or mappings

If you make changes to the control repo — including content mapping, template routing, redirects, or asset/template content — you must restart the presenter so it can pick up these changes. Run script/refresh to restart the presenter.

Cleaning up

To shut down all containers, type:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
