Deployment hints for Bouncer's Tuxedo Branch

• Check out the source code: git clone git://github.com/fwenzel/tuxedo.git

• Deploying Tuxedo is very similar to what the Zamboni docs describe for AMO.
• Make a virtualenv, activate it, then easy_install pip.
• pip install -r requirements.txt
  • MySQL-python can be installed via pip, or globally by installing the pyMySQLdb (?) rpm.

• Create a file local_settings.py in the tuxedo dir and put the settings into it that you want to change from settings.py, here's mine:

$ cat local_settings.py

DEBUG = False

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'           # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
DATABASE_NAME = 'mybouncerdb'       # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = 'fred'              # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'fred'          # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = 'server'            # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = ''                  # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.

DATABASE_OPTIONS = {
    "init_command": "SET storage_engine=INNODB",
}

CACHE_BACKEND = 'memcached://127.0.0.1:11211/'

• When upgrading from an older version of Bouncer, start off with a copy of the old DB, then follow the steps "Upgrading an older version of Bouncer" in the README.

• (with DEBUG=True in your settings file, you should now be able to run ./manage.py runserver and see a working web app. You should be able to log in.)

• Deploy to a web server. The Zamboni docs have some hints about Apache+mod_wsgi.
• The tuxedo API uses HTTP basic auth. Make sure to enable the mod_wsgi setting that'll pass the HTTP auth credentials on to the application.
• At the time of writing, these hints don't cover the /media/ and /admin-media/ dirs. Those are not to be served through mod_wsgi, but can be added to the same vhost with mod_alias. See the section about it in Django docs.
  • map /media/ to the tuxedo/media dir, and
  • /admin-media/ to .../the-tuxedo-virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
