BoF App

A web app to aid off-the-cuff planning of Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions at a venue

Run for Development

NOTE: Not using conda/conda-forge at the moment because of SSL verification problems when communicating with GitHub to fetch user data. (Bad certificates package?)

pip install -r requirements.txt
export GITHUB_CONSUMER_KEY='your app github key'
export GITHUB_CONSUMER_SECRET='your app github secret'
python -m bof.admin data examples
FLASK_APP=bof/__init__.py FLASK_DEBUG=1 flask run

Deploy to Cloud Foundry

Create a dev-manifest.yml and/or prod-manifest.yml that inherits from base-manifest.yml:

---
inherit: base-manifest.yml
applications:
- name: bof
  host: bof
  env:
    GITHUB_CONSUMER_KEY: 'replace with GitHub OAuth client ID'
    GITHUB_CONSUMER_SECRET: 'replace with GitHub OAuth secret'
    SECRET_KEY: 'replace with a random string'
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI: 'postgresql+pg8000://username:password@host:port/database'
    SQLALCHEMY_POOL_SIZE: 1     # per worker

Push it.

cf push -f dev-manifest.yml

For zero-downtime deploys, get https://github.com/contraband/autopilot, make sure you have twice the app allocated resources available, and then run:

cf zero-downtime-push bof -f dev-manifest.yml

If the zero-downtime deploy goes bad, just use cf delete to remove the botched app and cf rename to rename the venerable instance back to the main instance.

Administer the Database

Set SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI in your environment. Then run:

python -m bof.admin --help
