Google Drive based DMS (atop Symfony2)

A proof of concept for a Google Drive based document management system (DMS)

Inspired from genj/GenjGoogleDriveBundle

Requirements

Symfony 2.5, as declared in composer.json
GooglApiClient, as declared in composer.json

1/3 Setup Google API Client App credentials

To consume the Google Drive API, you need to follow this steps in Google Developers Console (GDC):

Create a Google Drive API Project on Google Developers Console (GDC)
Activate Google Drive API (status: ON) in GDC > API & auth > APIs
Generate a Service Account application type OAuth Client ID in GDC > API & auth > Credentials
Download a .p12 key file, via the same API Credentials form in GDC, to be then renamed as ServiceAccountAPIKey.p12

2/3 Symfony2 App configuration

You need to configure your app using this informations you just obtained from Google API Console:

Service account API key file: the ServiceAccountAPIKey.p12, generated above, pasted in the app/config/ folder
Service account e-mail address: a long ...@developer.gserviceaccount.com e-mail address, generated above by Google API Console while creating your OAuth Credentials Client ID.

Add these to your parameters.yml:

dms.service_account_key_file:
dms.service_account_email:

3/3 Installation:

$~: git clone https://github.com/polypodes/GoogleDrive-based-DMS.git
$~: cd GoogleDrive-based-DMS
$~: make
$~: make install

API documentation generation (with RAML & NPM)

npm install -g raml2html
raml2html api.raml > build/API.html
[open/xdg-open] build/API.html

Usage:

Use / Create a Google Drive User Account
In the Google Drive web interface, (right-click)share a file or an entire folder with the same email address used to fill dms.service_account_email above.

Then open the /files route URL in a browser to see, view & download filesize, filetype & thubmnail of each file & folder.

VPS deployement

ssh login@production
cd current_release
make deploy

Hackin' & Slashin'

You may want to temporary avoid the OAuth login/authorize process while you're developing new features: Just comment these lines at the very end of app/config/security.yml

#     Commenting these lines below = DISABLING login process & security controls
#        - { path: ^/api, roles: ROLE_USER }
#        - { path: ^/files, roles: ROLE_USER }

Front-end

Set up front-end 'stuff'

cd integration
bower install
npm install
gulp

Heroku deployment

One-click way:

Manual way:

see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-symfony2 and http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/deployment/heroku.html

heroku config:set SYMFONY_ENV=prod
git push heroku master

To push a branch other than master, use this syntax:

git push heroku yourbranch:master

Set up Heroku parameters

Method: a Composer script hadling your ignored parameter file

`ServiceAccounAPIKey.p12` file:

Alternative solution

Heroku debug

Heroku allows you to run commands in a one-off dyno with heroku run. Use this for scripts and applications that only need to be executed when needed, or to launch an interactive PHP shell attached to your local terminal for experimenting in you app’s environment:

$ heroku run "php -a"
Running `php -a` attached to terminal... up, run.8081
Interactive shell
php > echo PHP_VERSION;
5.5.11

For debugging purposes, e.g. to examine the state of your application after a deploy, you can use heroku run bash for a full shell into a one-off dyno. But remember that this will not connect you to one of the web dynos that may be running at the same time!
