Mothership

Experimental software for powering the measure the future 'motherships'. These are devices that collect from the 'scouts' and generate web reports.

 

Copmilation/installation (Edison)

Installation Instructions for Measure The Future can be found here.

Compilation/installation (OSX)

The following steps will configure an OSX machine as a development environment for the mothership:

1. Download and Install Go 1.6.3
2. Download and Install PostgreSQL
3. Create SSL keys for PostgreSQL

	$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres/var-9.4/
	$ openssl req -new -text -out server.req
	$ openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out server.key
	$ rm privkey.pem
	$ openssl req -x509 -in server.req -text -key server.key -out server.crt
	$ chmod og-rwx server.key

4. Edit postgres config by uncommenting the line #sss = on (Remove the #)

	$ vim postgresql.conf

5. Restart Postgres.app
6. Create Databases

	$ psql
		postgres=# create database mothership;
		postgres=# create database mothership_test;
		postgres=# create user mothership_user with password 'password';
		postgres=# ALTER ROLE mothership_user SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
		postgres=# ALTER ROLE mothership_user SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
		postgres=# ALTER ROLE mothership_user SET timezone TO 'UTC';
		postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mothership TO mothership_user;
		postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mothershop_test TO mothership_user;
		postgres=# \q

7. Download and Install Node v4.4.7
8. Update NPM

	$ sudo npm install npm -g

9. Create project folder and get source from Github

	$ mkdir mtf
	$ cd mtf
	$ mkdir src
	$ cd src
	$ git clone git@github.com:MeasureTheFuture/mothership.git
	$ cd ..
	$ export GOPATH=`pwd`
	$ go get github.com/labstack/echo
	$ go get github.com/lib/pq
	$ go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo
	$ go get github.com/onsi/gomega
	$ go get -u github.com/mattes/migrate

10. Build the backend, create config file and migrate databases.

	$ go build mothership
	$ cp src/mothership/mothership.json_example mothership.json
	$ ./bin/migrate -url postgres://mothership_test@localhost:5432/mothership -path ./src/mothership/migrations up
	$ ./bin/migrate -url postgres://mothership_test@localhost:5432/mothership_test -path ./src/mothership/migrations up

11. Run the front end. (ctrl-c stops the mothership)

	$./mothership

12. In a new terminal, build the frontend.

	$ cd src/mothership/frontend
	$ npm install
	$ npm run build

13. Visit localhost:1323 in your browser.

Testing

Testing for the backend:

	$ go test -p 1 github.com/MeasureTheFuture/mothership/...

Testing for the frontend:

	$ npm run test

TODO

• Implement summarise proccess - update scout summaries with unprocessed interaction data.
• Add control endpoint for getting scout summary data for the interface.
• Add 'measure' button to the interface.
• Update the interface to display visitor count from backend.
• Mothership generates internal server error (500) when no scouts are present.
• Ability to stop measuring from the UI
• Heatmap rendering
• Heatmap number crunching
• Finish pending scout interaction tests
• Need to render heatmap scale.
• Better identification that the UI is in measuring mode / working
• Need to generate histogram / timeline.
• Write tests for the frontend components
• Tidy up responsive design (for small screensizes)
• Need to calculate and store heatmap / statistics overtime.
• Write tests for summarise and heatmap generation. summarise_test
• Write tests for all the other cases when an AABB intersects a shaft (shaft_test)
• An easier way to tweak the OpenCV settings for best results
