Primary LanguageGo

pika's mealplan server

Running at https://mealplan.pikans.org/

Most important files

  • data.go: loads and saves all the state from/to disk
  • server/signup.go: has all the logic for displaying the pages & handling user input
  • server/signup.html: a Go HTML template which is used to display the main page (for both authorized and unauthorized users)

How to deploy

Somewhat less manual way

Before you deploy, you'll need to clone pika's cdist repo: https://wiki.pikans.org/computers/git#yfncc-cdist. Note down the path you clone this to. Navigate to the directory for the thing you'd like to change (either server or remind, probably), then edit the makefile variables at the top to match the prefixes to the path to yfncc-cdist you noted down earlier (i.e., replace /Users/j/pika/yfncc-dist with the full path to your copy of yfncc-cdist).

Now you can build the project with make build, and have cdist put it on the mealplan server with make deploy.

Now follow the manual steps below from step 5.

Somewhat more manual way

You'll also need SSH keys for root on pika-web.mit.edu -- ask yfncc.

  1. Make sure you're in the server directory
  2. Build for OpenBSD: env GOOS=openbsd GOARCH=amd64 go build
  3. Copy the resulting server binary to the cdist repo, at cdist/conf/manifest/bin/openbsd/mealplan, and copy server.html and admin.html (if changed) into cdist/conf/manifest/html/
  4. Navigate up to yfncc-cdist/ in the cdist repo and run ./bin/cdist config -v pika-web.mit.edu
  5. (If the binary changed) SSH into pika-web.mit.edu and restart the server:
  6. su mealplan to change into user mealplan
  7. tmux attach to attach to an existing tmux session, or just tmux to start a new one
  8. Kill the existing mealplanserver process, either with Ctrl+C if it's in the console, or finding the process and stopping it.
  9. Start it anew, with ./run.sh or ./run-console.sh, depending on whether you want to get live console output in the tmux session (only do this if you're running in tmux, or else it will die once your SSH connection dies!)

NOTE

Make sure when changing anything in this repo to commit, push, and
execute `go get github.com/pikans/mealplan`; otherwise, parts of
this development that refer to other files in the repo by use of a
go remote import from the github repo will not use the updated
bits!
