libsites - GBV-Standortverzeichnis
The application is automatically started as service, listening on port 6013
sudo service libsites {status|start|stop|restart}
libsites implements an RDF-based web registry of library locations.
Create user libsites and directories:
sudo adduser --home /srv/libsites --disabled-password libsites
sudo mkdir /etc/libsites /var/log/libsites
sudo chown libsites:libsites /etc/libsites /var/log/libsites
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git libcatmandu-perl librdf-trine-perl libgit-repository-perl liblog-contextual-perl starman
Clone this repository as user libsites in /srv/libsites
sudo -iu libsites
git clone --bare https://github.com/gbv/libsites.git .git
git config --unset core.bare
git checkout .
git clone https://github.com/gbv/libsites-config.git /etc/libsites
ln -s /etc/libsites libsites-config
Locally install Perl libraries
make -B local
The actual content is retrieved from the German ISIL directory (hosted by ZDB) and the git repository https://github.com/gbv/libsites-config among other sources.
Initally update data of libraries (will take a while):
perl -Ilib -Ilocal/lib/perl5 bin/update all
Add a cronjob (crontab -e) to daily update the data, e.g.
10 03 * * * perl -Ilib -Ilocal/lib/perl5 bin/update all
Switch back to root and enable the service by copying libsites.init to /etc/init.d/libsites and update runlevel directories with update-rc.d libsites defaults. then start the service
sudo cp /srv/libsites/libsites.init /etc/init.d/libsites
sudo update-rc.d libsites defaults
sudo service libsites start
After installation the service is available at localhost on port 6013. Better put the service behind a reverse proxy to enable SSL and nice URLs!
A full update is run daily and logged to /var/log/libsites/update.log. At URL
path /update there is also a GitHub Webhook to trigger update from configuration
repository libsites-config. The update script can be run manually as following:
cd /srv/libsites && sudo -u libsites perl -Ilib -Ilocal/lib/perl5 bin/update all
Remove the parameter all for usage help.
Log files are written in /var/log/libsites/ and kept for 30 day by default:
access.log- HTTP request and responses in Apache Log Formatserver.log- Web server messages (when server was started and stopped)update.log- Update script output
