Hi there I've got a bit further, but now I've got a problem - how do you access the admin panel when you have the complete site set up? 1) If Debug = False (as it is for a production setup), Django doesn't load static files (e.g. CSS). 2) When going via the nginx proxy, I can't figure out what URL will direct me to the admin page. Peter P.S. I'm doing some work on the ansible to get this all set up - I'll do a PR once everything seems to be working. On Fri, 19 Oct 2018 at 01:25, Alexandru Mahmoud <amahmou4@jhu.edu> wrote:

Hello!

I am new to the team, so this will be a brief response to only one of your questions while waiting for someone else to get to the email (and I am not replying all so that people don’t dismiss it as answered):

For 3 specifically, you can access the admin panel at http://127.0.0.1(or localhost):8000/admin, where you should be able to login with the user created with the ‘createsuperuser’ command. Under “Appliances” or “Applications” (depending on the version of cloudlaunch) you’ll be able to see and change/add configurations for apps. If you want to see in more detail how the appliances are being set up and how the launch config is used in code, look for the "Backend component name", then find the corresponding backend plugin in the cloudlaunch repo. I hope that is a helpful start, and feel free to email me if nobody responds in a reasonable amount of time to your other questions, as I can get more answers in person and relay them to you.

Best, Alex Mahmoud

Hi there

I'd like to set up cloudlaunch to be able to set up on-demand Galaxy servers and associated clusters on the new Ilifu OpenStack cloud. From looking around the repositories it looks like Cloudlaunch is at least 2 components:

1. The cloudlaunch server 2. The UI - either cloudlaunch-ui or cloudlaunch-cli

I'm trying to get cloudlaunch server installed on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM. The only requirement seems to be python3-pip. For postgresql support I installed the python3-psycopg2 module, the postgresql-10 server and create a user and db (both named cloud). Then I installed the server with `pip3 install cloudlaunch-server` and ran commands:

cloudlaunch-server django migrate cloudlaunch-server django createsuperuser cloudlaunch-server django runserver

The next step (https://github.com/galaxyproject/cloudlaunch) refers to redis-server. Installing this package seemed to satisfy that requirement, running it manually didn't work so I just ran the celery command as illustrated. And finally relaunched the django server.

Then nodejs and npm were installed, the cloudlaunch-ui cloned from github, the various npm package specified installed and finally npm start brings up the cloudlaunch user interface.

So far so good but:

1. Is there more extensive documentation anywhere? Specifically documentation about running this in production.

2. Is there a docker container that can be used instead of all this manual installation?

3. How are appliances configured and added to the Appliance Catalogue?
