Installation

Important

This app 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)

For users migrating from one of the other FAT systems, please read the specific instructions FIRST.

Step 1 - Install the app

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

pip install allianceauth-afat

Step 2 - Update your AA settings

Configure your AA settings in your local.py as follows:

• Add 'afat', to INSTALLED_APPS
• Add the scheduled tasks

# AFAT - https://github.com/ppfeufer/allianceauth-afat
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["afat_update_esi_fatlinks"] = {
    "task": "afat.tasks.update_esi_fatlinks",
    "schedule": crontab(minute="*/1"),
}

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["afat_logrotate"] = {
    "task": "afat.tasks.logrotate",
    "schedule": crontab(minute="0", hour="1"),
}

Step 3 - Finalize the installation

Run migrations & copy static files

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Restart your supervisor services for AA.

Updating

To update your existing installation of AFAT, first enable your virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation.

pip install -U allianceauth-afat

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Finally restart your supervisor services for AA

It is possible that some versions need some more changes. Always read the release notes to find out more.

Data Migration

Right after the initial installation and running migrations, you can import the data from Alliance Auth's native FAT system, from bFAT or from ImicusFAT if you have used one of these until now.

Import from native FAT

To import from the native FAT module, simply run the following command:

python myauth/manage.py afat_import_from_allianceauth_fat

Import from bFAT

To import from the bFAT module, simply run the following command:

python myauth/manage.py afat_import_from_bfat

Import from ImicusFAT

First, you need to remove all "deleted" FAT links and FATs.

This step needs to be done, because we cannot import entries marked as "deleted" due to the way Django is handling this, and some other entries might rely on them, so we need to meke sure the "deleted" data doesn't cause any trouble. You don't need to worry, you are not losing any data that is/was actively used besides what is already marked as "deleted" and ImicusFAT is no longer working with it anyways and never did.

To do so, login to your mysql database and run the following commands:

# de-activate foreign key checks
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

# remove all "deleted" FATs
delete from imicusfat_ifat where deleted_at is not null;

# remove all "deleted" fat link types
delete from imicusfat_ifatlinktype where deleted_at is not null;

# get all fatlink IDs of "deleted" fatlinks as comma separated list and make sure
# to have that in your notepad saved, you need this list for the next comamnds
select group_concat(id) from imicusfat_ifatlink where deleted_at is not null;

# now remove everything that is related to those IDs
# make sure to replace "id_list" with the comma separated
# list of IDs from the earlier command
delete from imicusfat_clickifatduration where fleet_id in (id_list);
delete from imicusfat_ifat where ifatlink_id in (id_list);
delete from imicusfat_ifatlink where id in(id_list);

# re-activate foreign key checks
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;

Once done, start the actual import script like this:

python myauth/manage.py afat_import_from_imicusfat
