# Getting started

Docker is the recommended way to develop and deploy ContentDB.

1. Install `docker` and `docker-compose`.

	Debian/Ubuntu:

		sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose

2. Copy `config.example.cfg` to `config.cfg`.

	1. Set `SECRET_KEY` and `WTF_CSRF_SECRET_KEY` to different random values.

3. (Optional) Set up mail in config.cfg.
   Make sure to set `USER_ENABLE_EMAIL` to True.

4. (Optional) Set up GitHub integration
	1. Make a Github OAuth Client at <https://github.com/settings/developers>:
	2. Homepage URL - `http://localhost:5123/`
	3. Authorization callback URL - `http://localhost:5123/user/github/callback/`
	4. Put client id and client secret in `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` and `GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET` in config.cfg.

5. Create config.env:

		POSTGRES_USER=contentdb
		POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
		POSTGRES_DB=contentdb
		FLASK_DEBUG=1

6. Start docker images:

		docker-compose up --build

7. Setup database:

		./utils/run_migrations.sh

8. Create initial data
	1. `./utils/bash.sh`
	2. Either `python utils/setup.py -t` or `python utils/setup.py -o`:
	  	1. `-o` creates just the admin, and static data like tags, and licenses.
	  	2. `-t` will do `-o` and also create test packages. (Recommended)

9. View at <http://localhost:5123>.
   The admin username is `rubenwardy` and the password is `tuckfrump`.

In the future, starting CDB is as simple as:

	docker-compose up --build

To hot/live update CDB whilst it is running, use:

	./utils/reload.sh

This will only work with python code and templates, it won't update tasks or config.
