Installation

[!IMPORTANT]

Please make sure you meet all preconditions before you proceed.

[!IMPORTANT]

This app is utilising features that are only available in Alliance Auth >= 4.12.0. Please make sure to update your Alliance Auth instance before installing this app, otherwise, an update to Alliance Auth will be pulled in unsupervised.

• AA Sovereignty Timer is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)
• AA Sovereignty Timer needs the app django-eveuniverse to function. Please make sure it is installed before continuing.

Bare Metal Installation

Step 1: Installing the App

Make sure you're in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the latest version:

pip install aa-sov-timer==3.5.1

Step 2: Update Your AA Settings

Configure your AA settings (local.py) as follows:

• Add "eveuniverse", to INSTALLED_APPS if not already done for another app
• Add "sovtimer", to INSTALLED_APPS
• Add the Scheduled Task

# AA Sovereignty Timer - Run sovereignty related updates every 30 seconds
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates"] = {
    "task": "sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates",
    "schedule": 30,
}

Step 3: Finalizing the Installation

Copy static files and run migrations

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Step 4: Preload Eve Universe Data

AA Sovereignty Timer uses Eve Universe data to map IDs to names for solar systems, regions and constellations. So you need to preload some data from ESI once. If you already have run this command, you can skip this step.

python manage.py eveuniverse_load_data map
python manage.py sovtimer_load_initial_data

Both commands might take a moment or two, so be patient ...

Step 5: Restart Supervisor

Once you have completed all previous steps, restart your AA supervisor service to apply the changes.

Continue with the Common Steps / Configuration below to finish the installation.

Docker Installation

Step 1: Add the App

Add the app to your conf/requirements.txt:

aa-sov-timer==3.5.1

Step 2: Update Your AA Settings

Configure your AA settings (conf/local.py) as follows:

• Add "eveuniverse", to INSTALLED_APPS if not already done for another app
• Add "sovtimer", to INSTALLED_APPS
• Add the Scheduled Task

# AA Sovereignty Timer - Run sovereignty related updates every 30 seconds
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates"] = {
    "task": "sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates",
    "schedule": 30,
}

Step 3: Build Auth and Restart Your Containers

docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose --env-file=.env up -d

Step 4: Finalizing the Installation

Run migrations, copy static files and load EVE universe data:

docker compose exec allianceauth_gunicorn bash

auth collectstatic
auth migrate

auth eveuniverse_load_data map
auth sovtimer_load_initial_data

Continue with the Common Steps / Configuration below to finish the installation.

Common Steps / Configuration

(Optional) Allow Public Views

This app supports AA's feature of public views.
To allow this feature, please add "sovtimer",, to the list of APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS in your local.py or conf/local.py for Docker:

APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS = [
    "sovtimer",
]

[!NOTE]

If you don't have a list for APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS yet, then add the whole block from here.

Restart your supervisor service or your Docker containers to apply the changes.

Updating

To update your existing installation of AA Sovereignty Timer, first enable your virtual environment.

Then run the following commands from your AA project directory (the one that contains manage.py).

Finally, restart your AA supervisor service.

Docker Installation

To update your existing installation of AA Sovereignty Timer, all you need to do is to update the respective line in your conf/requirements.txt file to the latest version.
