More info about this project: here.

Installation

To install waldcli run pip install waldcli

For preview releases run pip install --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ waldcli

Workflow

The following is the standard workflow to use with the projects using craft/docker for development.

0. Setup

⚠️ note: Execute point nr. 4, only if the setup has not yet been done

1. Fork the starter project create a fork of the latest release of the base repo : https://github.com/welance/welance-craft-starter
2. Install python/libs and bash completion (make sure to have python3 installed, use virtualenv if necessary).
3. run:
   • pip install -r bin/requirements.txt to install the required libraries and
   • source bin/butler.bash-completion to enable commands autocompletion
4. Run bin/butler.py setup script. (required: docker). The script will ask for:

!!! ATTENTION !!! customer and project number are used to setup the containers environment, they cannot be easily changed once the project is on-going.

5. Commit commit the chagnes to the repository, in particular the changes reated to:

./bin/.butler.json
./docker/docker-compose.yml
./docker/docker-compose-staging.yml

1. Development

During the development here are the most used commands:

1. Start! Start The docker dev environment bin/butler.py start --port [PORT_NUMBER] script starts the docker containers

2. Work! The development phase of the project will involve 3 main resources:

• the templatesfolder
• the config/project.yaml
• the plugins folder

3. Stop! Stop the docker dev environment bin/butler.py stop stops the docker conatiners. It doesn't delete the database or cms data.

Import/Export (Project/DB) Schema

The schema is imported/exported automatically by Craft v3+ into config/project.yml, so just make sure tommit it

Local Plugin Development:

If you would like to develop a local plugin, we need to put it inside the plugins folder such as /plugins/VENDOR_NAME/PLUGIN_NAME

Import/Export database seed

To import/export the dump of the database that it is used to setup/seed the database

• bin/butler.py seed-import -f=path/to/file
• bin/butler.py seed-export -f=path/to/file

the seed sql file is imported/exported from build/dump/base.sql

TODO: change this!

Accessing the database

Since the database use in the containers is not accessible from outside docker a database web interface is provided to dump/load/edit the database directly. The interface of the database is Adminer and is available via http or https.

The urls are:

• http://HOST/db
• https://HOST/db.

The parameters to log in are:

• System: MySQL or PostgreSQL depending on the driver selected
• Server: database
• Username: craft
• Password: craft
• Database: craft

Apache configuration and .htaccess

The website apache configuration is stored in ./docker/craft/conf/apache2/conf.d/welance.conf. The welance.conf contains all the settings for the installation to work and should be taken as a reference for production installation. By default .htaccess is DISABLED, because. Changes to the apache configuration require to restart the environment (bin/butler.py local-stop, bin/butler.py local-start) to be enabled.

Applying Craftcms updates

Troubleshooting

Docker: the project folder must be located in one of the Docker File Sharing paths. You can add a folder (for example the mamp one) by edit the prefernces of your docker installation

CraftCMS: if you log in using HTTPS login with HTTP fails. This has someting to do with sessions and CSRF protection. To solve the issue clear the browser application data and retry.

Adminer: if you log in using HTTPS login with HTTP fails. This has someting to do with sessions and CSRF protection. To solve the issue clear the browser application data and retry.

SSL

the certificate shipped with the project has been created using:

localhost:/# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1825 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout welance.ssl.key -out welance.ssl.crt
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
....................+++
....................................................................+++
writing new private key to 'welance.ssl.key'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Locality Name (eg, city) []:Berlin
Organization Name (eg, company) []:Welance
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, fully qualified host name) []:
Email Address []:[e-mail]

2. Deploy on Staging

For staging environment are available the commands:

• bin/butler.py open-staging

they are used by the welance clerk system

3. Create a Release Package

To create an tar.gz archive of the craft installation use the command

• bin/butler.py release-package

it will create a file release.tar.gz file in the root of the project containing the craft installation with a fresh database dump in the build/dump/base.sql location

Project removal

Once the project is finished to remove the resources associated with the project (containers and data) the bin/butler.py teardownscript is provided.
