UQ Anthropology Museum Catalogue

UQAM is a web-based catalogue used by the University of Queensland Anthropology Museum.

It has a public front end for people to browse the museum's holdings, including photographs, documents, maps and information on the people involved. As well, it provides tools for museum staff to manage the items in the museum, and import any related data.

It is developed using the Python Django web framework.

This software was developed by the eResearch Group at The University of Queensland with funding from ANDS. It is copyright The University of Queensland.

Development Setup (with Ubuntu)

Install system requirements:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper git python-dev libldap2-dev \
  libjpeg62-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libgraphicsmagick++1-dev libboost-python-dev \
  libsasl2-dev

Clone the code from git:

$ git clone https://github.com/uq-eresearch/uqam.git
$ cd uqam

Create a python virtual environment:

$ mkvirtualenv uqam

If this fails, try logging out and logging in to enable virtualenvwrapper.

To re-enable the virtual environment later:

$ workon uqam

Install python dependencies (both dev and core):

(uqam)$ pip install -r requirements_dev.txt -r requirements.txt

Setup database (postgresql):

$ sudo -u postgres createuser -S -D -R -P uqam
$ sudo -u postgres createdb --owner uqam --encoding UTF8 uqam

Create database tables:

$ ./manage.py syncdb --all     # Create database tables
$ ./manage.py migrate --fake   # Enable migrations updates
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser  # Create admin user

Enable development settings file:

$ touch development_mode

Run test server:

$ ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Deployment on Red Hat (or compatible distribution)

More details coming soon. For now refer to fabfile.py and docs/.

sudo service nginx start

Setup database (postgresql):

$ sudo yum install postgresql-server
$ service postgresql initdb
$ sudo service postgresql start
$ sudo chkconfig postgresql on

Create user and database for uqam:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser -S -D -R -P uqam
$ sudo -u postgres createdb --owner uqam --encoding UTF8 uqam

Allow login with username/password from localhost:

# modify /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
# changing 'ident' to 'md5' for the following two lines
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5
host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

Create database tables:

$ ./manage.py syncdb --all     # Create database tables
$ ./manage.py migrate --fake   # Enable migrations updates
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser  # Create admin user

Prepare static files:

$ mkdir /home/uqam/public
$ ./manage.py collectstatic

Setup Solr for search

# Install Java
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

# Download and install
wget http://mirror.rackcentral.com.au/apache/lucene/solr/4.7.0/solr-4.7.0.tgz
tar xvzf solr-4.7.0.tgz
sudo mv solr-4.7.0/example/ /opt/solr

Create a user account to run Solr:

sudo useradd -r -d /opt/solr -M -c "Apache Solr" solr
sudo chown -R solr:solr /opt/solr/

Copy etc files

cp etc/solr-schema.xml /opt/solr/solr/collection1/conf/schema.xml
cp etc/init-solr /etc/init.d/solr
chown root:root /etc/init.d/solr
chmod +x /etc/init.d/solr

cp etc/sysconfig-solr /etc/sysconfig/solr

Test run:

sudo -i -u solr
java -jar start.jar

Start Solr on boot:

chkconfig solr on
service solr start
