Installation

[!NOTE]

Alliance Auth AFAT >= 3.0.0 needs at least Alliance Auth v4.0.0!

Please make sure to update your Alliance Auth instance before you install this module or update to the latest version, otherwise an update to Alliance Auth will be pulled in unsupervised.

The last version compatible with Alliance Auth v3 is 2.13.0.

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're 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: Finalizing 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 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 ImicusFAT

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

python myauth/manage.py afat_import_from_imicusfat

Uninstall ImicusFAT

Now that you've migrated, you can uninstal ImicusFAT.

First, remove all Django migrations for ImicusFAT with:

python manage.py migrate imicusfat zero

This will remove all migrations for ImicusFAT including its DB tables.

Should this command throw an error, a bit of manual labor is needed, but nothing you can't handle, I'm sure.

python manage.py migrate imicusfat zero --fake

And remove all DB tables beginning with imicusfat_ from your DB manually afterwards.

Now that the DB is cleaned up, time to remove te app.

pip uninstall allianceauth-imicusfat

Now remove imicusfat from your INSTALLED_APPS in your local.py, restart supervisor and ... Done!
