Running the Development Setup
This document explains how to actually use Spaceport after you have the API server and web client set up.
It assumes the API server is running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and the web
client is http://127.0.0.1:3000/ you can replace 127.0.0.1 with whatever the
IP if your virtual machine or server is.
Register the First Member
Open the web client http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in your browser.
Fill out the "Sign Up to Spaceport" form. If you see a "Please Visit Protospace" warning, this means the web client can't talk to the API server properly. Hit Sign Up and finish the registration.
Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/api/member/1/change/ and log in with the super user credentials you created during the API server setup.
Scroll down and check "Is staff" and click today by "Vetted date".
Scroll to the bottom and click "Save".
Go back and refresh Spaceport. You should now be Staff, which grants you the same powers as a director. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin to confirm.
Running Cron Jobs
Spaceport runs commands periodically to manage infomation that changes with time and generate the stats. Running them is optional and you can run them manually like so:
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ DEBUG=true python manage.py run_minutely
(env) $ DEBUG=true python manage.py run_hourly
(env) $ DEBUG=true python manage.py run_daily
Or automatically:
$ crontab -e
Add to the bottom of the file:
10 10 * * * /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/env/bin/python /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/manage.py run_daily
58 * * * * /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/env/bin/python /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/manage.py run_hourly
* * * * * /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/env/bin/python /whatever/spaceport/apiserver/manage.py run_minutely
Replace whatever with the path to Spaceport.
