python 3.5
postgres
nginx (or apache2)
additional video packages

Installing required packages

1. add pandora ppa to get all packages in the required version

   apt-get install software-properties-common add-apt-repository ppa:j/pandora apt-get update

2. install all required packages

   apt-get install git
   python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-venv ipython3
   python3-dev python3-pil python3-numpy python3-psycopg2
   python3-pyinotify python3-simplejson

Prepare Environment

1. add pandora user and set permissions

   adduser pandora --disabled-login --disabled-password

2. Setup Database

   su postgres createuser pandora createdb -T template0 --locale=C --encoding=UTF8 -O pandora pandora echo "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" | psql pandora exit

3. Setup RabbitMQ

You have to use the same password here and in BROKER_URL in local_settings.py

rabbitmqctl add_user pandora PASSWORD
rabbitmqctl add_vhost /pandora
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /pandora pandora ".*" ".*" ".*"

Install Pan.do/ra

1. Get code from git

   cd /srv/ git clone https://git.0x2620.org/pandora.git pandora cd pandora ./ctl init

   cd /srv chown -R pandora.pandora pandora

2. create local_settings.py and config.jsonc

2.1) create file /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py with the following content:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'NAME': 'pandora',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'USER': 'pandora',
        'PASSWORD': '',
    }
}
DB_GIN_TRGM = True
BROKER_URL = 'amqp://pandora:PASSWORD@localhost:5672//pandora'

#with apache x-sendfile or lighttpd set this to True
XSENDFILE = False

#with nginx X-Accel-Redirect set this to True
XACCELREDIRECT = True

2.2) create config.jsonc

config.jsonc holds the configuration for your site. To start you can copy /srv/pandora/pandora/config.pandora.jsonc to /srv/pandora/pandora/config.jsonc but have a look at https://wiki.0x2620.org/wiki/pandora/configuration and config.0xdb.jsonc config.padma.jsonc for configuration options.

3. initialize database

   su pandora cd /srv/pandora/pandora ./manage.py init_db

4. install init scripts and start daemons

   /srv/pandora/ctl install /srv/pandora/ctl start

5. Setup Webserver a) nginx (recommended)

   apt-get install nginx cp /srv/pandora/etc/nginx/pandora /etc/nginx/sites-available/pandora cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled ln -s ../sites-available/pandora

   #read comments in /etc/nginx/sites-available/pandora for setting #your hostname and other required settings #make sure XACCELREDIRECT = True in /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py

   service nginx reload

b) apache2 (if you need it for other sites on the same server)

apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-xsendfile
a2enmod xsendfile
a2enmod proxy_http
a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
cp /srv/pandora/etc/apache2/pandora.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/pandora.conf
a2ensite pandora

#read comments in /etc/apache2/sites-available/pandora.conf for setting
#your hostname and other required settings
#make sure XSENDFILE = True in /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py

service apache2 reload

Now you can open pandora in your browser, the first user to sign up will become admin.

Updating

To update pandora to the latest development version run this:

su pandora
cd /srv/pandora
./update.py dev

this will update pandora/oxjs/python-ox and list possible upgrades to the db

to update your database run:

su pandora
cd /srv/pandora
./update.py db

Development

in one terminal:

./manage.py runserver 2620

and background task in another:

./manage.py celeryd -B -Q celery,default,encoding -l INFO

now you can access your local pandora instace at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

we use virtual machines/lxc for development and deployment, more info on that in vm/LXC_README.md
