Blueprint for LiveCD

A Live CD (probably based on Ubuntu) that can be used to demo and deploy a Sahana Eden instance.

The same CD can be used to build Virtual Machines.

We want 4 different builds:

  • Lite
  • Normal
  • GIS
  • Dev

Lite

Designed to provide a quick LiveCD demo of functionality without needing any installation.

Can also be run headless as a simple server to be accessed by host's Web browser & perhaps 1-2 other users on a small LAN.

  • Python
  • Rocket (i.e. web2py's native webserver)
  • Sqlite (i.e. Python's native DB)

Build

bzr checkout --lightweight -r 2717 lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py
cd web2py/applications
bzr checkout --lightweight -r XXX lp:~sahana-eden eden

Run with password & NIC bound to real IP (need to work out how to find this out): 

python web2py.py -a <password> -i x.x.x.x

Updates

Need a way to keep the system updated easily (web2page?): 

cd web2py
bzr up -r <revision>
cd applications/eden
bzr up -r <revision>

Normal

Designed to be run headless in an office of up to 50 users with poor quality Internet...would be a dedicated machine if a lot of users.

GIS

Designed to be run headless in an office of up to 50 users with poor quality Internet...would be a dedicated machine if a lot of users.

Useful for the GPS Sharing tool, for instance.

  • InstallationGuidelinesGISData
  • Apache/WSGI
  • PostGIS
  • GeoServer
  • osmosis
  • Mapnik
  • DATA
    • Scripts to download content by geographic area (ideally these would be added to Sahana UI for use outside this environmonet too, but that could come later)
    • OpenStreetMap
    • Contours

Dev

Designed for use in Training sessions where we want to get a number of people on diverse equipment operational quickly. Should include a Desktop & Debugging tools: Eclipse & Firebug

This would replace our existing Dev VM.

Build

bzr branch -r 2717 lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py
cd web2py/applications
bzr branch -r XXX lp:~sahana-eden eden

Updates

'update' alias 

cd web2py
bzr pull -r <revision>
cd applications/eden
bzr pull -r <revision>

Status

​Chelsea School are building these for us based on ​TurnKey Linux
