geoq | Django web application to collect geospatial features

The following commands worked on a 64-bit CentOS 6.x system (as a privileged user):.
A new docker implementation has been developed and is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/stephenrjones/geoq-django10. This is an upgraded version of the server and has not yet been fully tested.
You can optionally deploy GeoQ with all dependencies to a Virtual Machine or a cloud VM (such as an Amazon Web Services EC2 box) by using the chef installer at https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq-chef-installer
Chef scripts are our preferred method of automating cloud builds
Install PostGIS 2.0 using instructions at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#macosx. There are several options there, but for most, the easiest option is to follow the Homebrew instructions. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can either buid it securely yourself or follow the quick (yet not secure) one line instruction at http://brew.sh. Note for MITRE users: To install software by downloading from Internet, the computer should be connected to Outernet. One exception: Instead of using brew to install postgres, it's usually easier to install Postgres.app from postgresapp.com. After installing, add the app's bin directory (/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/X.Y/bin) to your PATH. After Postgres.app is installed, postGIS, gdal, and libgeoip need to be installed using the following commands: $ brew install postgis $ brew install gdal $ brew install libgeoip Note: Homebrew needs to be installed to run these commands.
(Optional) Install a Geoserver (we recommend the OGC Geoserver at https://github.com/geoserver)
Make sure Python, Virtualenv, npm, and Git are installed % Note that some distros (Debian) might need additional libraries: % sudo pip install psycopg2 % (optional) sudo apt-get install sendmail
Install and setup geoq: % mkdir -p ~/pyenv % virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/pyenv/geoq % source ~/pyenv/geoq/bin/activate % git clone https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq
Create the database and sync dependencies and data: % cd geoq % pip install paver % paver install_dependencies % paver createdb % paver create_db_user % paver sync
Modify local settings (Modify entries below based on your system settings. Hit Ctl + D to save local settings file.): % cd geoq % cat > local_settings.py EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_HOST = "localhost" DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "geoq-alerts@server.com" MEDIA_ROOT = '/opt/src/pyenv/geoq/geoq-django' STATIC_URL_FOLDER = '' STATIC_ROOT = '{0}{1}'.format('/usr/src/static/', STATIC_URL_FOLDER) GAMIFICATION_SERVER = '' GAMIFICATION_PROJECT = '' GEOSERVER_WFS_JOB_LAYER = '' Note: To test GeoQ front page after starting GeoQ server, set STATIC_ROOT as follows: STATIC_ROOT = '{0}{1}'.format('~/geoq-static/static/', STATIC_URL_FOLDER)
(Optional) Load development fixtures: % paver install_dev_fixtures # creates an admin/admin superuser
Build user accounts: % python manage.py createsuperuser
Install less and add its folder ("type -p less") to your bash profile: % sudo npm install -g less % sudo python manage.py collectstatic
Start it up! % paver start_django
