Deployment pre-requisites

In order to deploy this project you need to install the RAPyDO controller and use it to startup the services on a Docker environment with containers.

The following instruction are based on the hyphotesis that you will work on a UNIX-based OS. Any Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, etc.) or any version of Mac OSX are supported.

Command line examples were heavily tested on bash terminal (version 4.4.0, but all versions 4.x and 3.x should work). Also keep in mind that installing tools into your machine is suggested through your preferred OS package manager (e.g. apt, yum, brew, etc.).

Base tools

Python 3

The python 3.4+ interpreter installed together with its main package manager pip3.

Most of distributions comes bundled with python 2.7+, which is not suitable for our project. Once again use a package manager if possible. For example:

in Ubuntu you would base your request on apt commands, e.g.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3-pip

in CentOS you would need to use yum, e.g. ```bash sudo yum -y update
warning: this command above can install a lot of packages

if your system is not quite up-to-date

install python 3.6 (latest stable Python) and the pip package manager

sudo yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm sudo yum -y install python36u python36u-pip sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pip3.6 /usr/bin/pip3

##  GIT

Most of UNIX distributions have the `git` command line client already installed. If that is not that case then refer to the [official documentation](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).

Examples with OS package manager:
```bash
# ubuntu
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git
# centos
sudo yum -y install git

Containers environment

docker engine

Please NOTE: if you are using Red Hat (RHEL) as Operating System, Docker is supported only in the enterprise edition.

To install docker on a unix terminal in a very easy and quick way you can try the get docker script, e.g.:

# Install docker
$ curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh

# add a user to launch docker containers
sudo usermod -aG docker YOUR_USER_NAME

# then make sure your docke engine is running, e.g. in CentOS:
sudo systemctl start docker
# in Ubuntu it should be already running

For Mac and Windows users dedicated applications were written:

As alternative, the best way to get Docker ecosystem/tools working is by using their existing toolbox.

docker compose

Compose is a tool for docker written in Python. See the official instructions to install it.

If you installed pip3 from above you can also try with:

$ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade docker-compose

NOTE: compose comes already bundled within the docker toolbox.

Production instance

The B2STAGE HTTP API server acts as a proxy interface to a real B2SAFE instance. Having B2SAFE already running in production and correctly set up would be a requisite if you want to deploy our project on top of it.

To understand more you can refer to the official B2SAFE documentation.
