escriptorium-deploy

Script(s) to deploy the eScriptorium application.

Requirements

Currently the script works on a fresh, stock Debian 10 system, whether running as the host OS, e.g. at a cloud provider, or under the excellent Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 (WSL2).

Installation

Ensure you have sudo access to the system. At the terminal, install git:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install git

Then grab the deployment script and run it.

$ git clone https://github.com/cltk/escriptorium-deploy.git
$ cd escriptorium-deploy
$ bash deploy.bash

It will run for some time. At the end, you will be prompted to create a username and password for the administrative ("superuser") account on the system.

Starting and stopping the application

Depending on where you installed the system, change to the subdirectory containing the application.

$ cd ~/escriptorium-deploy/escriptorium/app

Start the application:

$ cd python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --settings=escriptorium.local_settings

It it stopped via CTRL-C in the same terminal.

If running locally, the system should now be accessible at http://localhost:8000.
