THE STACK

• Django application
• Runs on heroku cedar stack
• Backed by Postgresql database

PREREQUISITE

These instructions are for Mac OSX 10.7 only. sudo where necessary.

• Install HomeBrew

  /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"

• Install Git

  brew install git

• Install Postgresql

  brew install postgresql

  initdb /usr/local/var/postgres

  mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  cp /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.1/org.postgresql.postgres.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

  launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist

  createdb stocktrenz

• Local Memcache Setup

  brew install memcached

• Install libmemcached for python

  wget https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.4/+download/libmemcached-1.0.4.tar.gz

  tar zxvf libmemcached-1.0.4.tar.gz

  cd libmemcached-1.0.4

  ./configure

  make

  sudo make install

• gem install heroku

• gem install foreman

• python

QUICK START

1. git clone

2. cd stocktrenz

3. ./setup.sh # if you have issues with lxml, talk to Shawn

4. source .ve/bin/activate

5. createdb stocktrenz

6. createuser -P -e stocktrenz # enter "stocktrenz" as password

7. python webcontent/manage.py syncdb

8. python webcontent/manage.py migrate

9. To start the server, you must run it from within the stocktrenz directory. Otherwise the TEMPLATE_DIR will not be found. This is to stay consistent with how it'd run within Heroku which puts the app in different directory.

    > foreman start
   
    or
   
    > python webcontent/manage.py runserver
   

Note: Default user name and password are admin/asdf

DEPLOYMENT

Automatic Pipeline

1. Push your changes to github's master branch
2. This will automatically trigger the jekins project for functional and unit tests
3. If the func/unit test pass, then the build is automatically pushed to QA/Integration
4. Load tests are then run against the QA/Integration environment

Manual Pushing to QA/Loadtest

• Make sure you have access to the heroku app.

• Add the heroku remote:

  git remote add heroku

• Push your code up:

  git push heroku master

• Run migrations:

  heroku run python webcontent/manage.py syncdb

  heroku run python webcontent/manage.py migrate

• View your app:

  heroku open

Manual Pushing To Production

• BE CAREFUL

• Make sure you have access to the production heroku app.

• Add the heroku remote:

  git remote add heroku-prod

• Tag the release: "production--<RELEASE#>" where DATE is YYYY-MM-DD and RELEASE# is the 2 digit (XX) number for the release of the day, starting at 01.

  git tag production-2012-03-20-01 # First release of March 20th, 2012

• Push your tag:

  git push --tags origin

• Push your code up:

  git push heroku-prod master

• Run migrations:

  heroku run --app stocktrenz python webcontent/manage.py migrate

• View your app:

  heroku open --app stocktrenz

• Inform QA to do a manual pass of production.

DEVELOPMENT

• Put development environment tools, like ipython, in dev_requirements.txt
• We need to keep the slug size for Heroku small
• Also, vim is the best dev tool there is.
