mission-control2 3.2.10

Mission Control - allows for easy launching of apps on Marathon

A project launcher for Marathon

Installation

To install using a terminal:

$ virtualenv ve
$ source ve/bin/activate
(ve)$ pip install mission-control2
(ve)$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="mc2.settings"
(ve)$ ve/bin/django-admin migrate --noinput

Running

Because this system uses Google Accounts with OAuth2 for authentication there are a few steps one needs to complete in order to get a working system:

Create a super user:

(ve)$ ve/bin/django-admin createsuperuser

Start the application on local address 127.0.0.1:8000:

(ve)$ ve/bin/django-admin runserver

OAuth works with HTTP based callbacks & token exchange, for this to work our local server needs to be reachable on the Internet. Ngrok is a great utility that allows for this. Follow the installation instructions on the Ngrok website for your operating system. Once installed run:

$ ngrok 8000

This will generate a random ngrok.com subdomain for you on which your local server will be reachable. The random subdomain address is useful for adhoc testing but we would recommend you use something predictable. This can be done using the -subdomain command line argument:

$ ngrok -subdomain mc2 8000

If you haven’t already, create a Google Developer Project at https://console.developers.google.com/project .

Next, navigate to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials , select the ‘OAuth Consent Screen’, choose a product name and save.

Then select “New credentials” and select “OAuth Client ID”. Then enter the necessary information

Once saved, Google will have generated the unique keys you will need to complete the OAuth setup:

For quick setup, you would then enter the following:

(ve)$ export SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY="647082549192-142tni49187fck8i2n1p0ptjofihd1k4.apps.googleusercontent.com"
(ve)$ export SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET="mJG2Qgbsmwal8MdCeP_7x_S6D"

Your Google OAuth setup should now be configured.

You can specify the following environment variables to configure the app:

# Django settings
SECRET_KEY
PROJECT_ROOT
DATABASE_URL

# Mesos Settings
MESOS_DEFAULT_MEMORY_ALLOCATION
MESOS_MARATHON_HOST
MESOS_HTTP_PORT
MESOS_DEFAULT_CPU_SHARE
MESOS_DEFAULT_INSTANCES

# Log Driver settings
LOGDRIVER_PATH
LOGDRIVER_BACKLOG

# Sentry configuration
RAVEN_DSN
RAVEN_CONFIG

# Social Auth
SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY
SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET

Once all this is done visit MC2 via your custom http://mc2.ngrok.com tunnel and sign-up via Google.

You’ll be greeted with an empty page since no applications have been created yet. Only Django superusers are allowed to create new applications. You’ll need to login into the Django admin page as the superuser you created earlier and promote the account created via GitHub to being a super user to expose the application creation features.
