IETF Wagtail Website

Release License CircleCI Docker Images

A customized CMS for the IETF website

Requirements

  • macOS / Windows: Docker for Desktop
  • Linux: Docker + Docker-Compose

Install

Quick start

First, clone this repository.

Run in Docker locally

This project uses Docker to build and run the code, both frontend and backend. So the only requirement to run it locally is a recent version of Docker with docker-compose.

How to run (with a database dump)
  1. Obtain a recent database dump with name like ietfa.torchbox.*.gz and place in docker/database/ directory. Otherwise, it will start with a fresh database.
  2. Obtain and unarchive media files into media/ folder.
  3. Run docker compose up. It will build and start the frontend builder (yarn run start) and the backend (python manage.py runserver analog), along with a Postgresql database. The first run will take a while because the database dump needs to be restored.
  4. After the frontend compilation finishes, the website should become available at http://localhost:8001
  5. Create a super user on Python application docker instance to access http://localhost:8001/admin
docker exec -ti wagtail_website-application-1 python manage.py createsuperuser
  1. To destroy everything (i.e. start the database from scratch) run docker compose down.
How to run (without a database dump)
  1. Run docker compose up. It will build and start the frontend builder (yarn run start) and the backend (python manage.py runserver analog), along with a Postgresql database. The first run will take a while because the database dump needs to be restored.
  2. Create an admin user
docker exec -ti wagtail_website-application-1 python manage.py createsuperuser
  1. Log into http://localhost:8001/admin
  2. Create a new "Home Page" (page type must be Home Page) and publish.
  3. Go to http://localhost:8001/admin/sites/ and select localhost.
  4. Select the new "Home Page" as the root page and save.
  5. The website should become available at http://localhost:8001
  6. To destroy everything (i.e. start the database from scratch) run docker compose down.
Backend details

The backend configuration resides in ietf/settings/docker, inheriting some settings from base.py. Configuration is done with environment variables with sane checks, i.e. if a variable is required but not set, the application won't start.

Analytics settings

To send analytics data to Matomo set the following configuration options in the local settings file.

MATOMO_DOMAIN_PATH = "analytics.ietf.org"
MATOMO_SITE_ID = "<site id>"

On the frontend (separate from Docker if needed)

Note: Running these steps before the Docker instructions above may prevent the frontend docker instance to run properly.

Install NVM and Yarn and then run these commands from the repo directory,

First, install dependencies:

# Make sure you use the right node version.
nvm install
nvm use
# Install project dependencies
yarn install

Then, build the frontend static files using one of these commands

# Builds and watches the frontend assets (use this when developing).
yarn run start

# Builds frontend development (non-optimized) assets, without watching
yarn run build

# Builds frontend production assets.
yarn run dist

Other available commands can be viewed with

yarn run

Multi site setup

This repo contains code for both the IETF and IAB websites, which are intended to run as separate sites. If you don't have a DB dump, or your dump does not have the IAB site set up, these are the steps you need to have a paralell site running:

  • Set up a page using the IAB homepage template at the root level (/admin/pages)
  • Configure a site with that page as its root (http://localhost:8001/admin/sites/)
  • In settings -> layout settings (http://localhost:8001/admin/settings/utils/layoutsettings/2/), select your new site and make sure that the base template is set to IAB
  • Header and footer links are populated in the same way as the IETF website. The header contains pages that have the 'show in menu' checkbox ticked in the 'promote' tab. Footer links are set in settings -> footer links.
