Geo Concerns

Rails application for developing Hydra Geo models. Built around Curation Concerns engine.

• Poster from Hydra Connect 2015
• Current GeoConcerns diagram

Dependencies

1. Solr
2. Fedora Commons digital repository
3. A SQL RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL), though note that SQLite will be used by default if you're looking to get up and running quickly
4. Redis, a key-value store
5. ImageMagick with JPEG-2000 support
6. GDAL
   • You can install it on Mac OSX with brew install gdal.
   • On Ubuntu, use sudo apt-get install gdal-bin.
7. GeoServer (Optional)

Simple Tiles

GeoConcerns requires the image generation library Simple Tiles.

Mac OS X:

• Install via Homebrew: brew install simple-tiles

Linux:

• Install dependencies:

  libgdal-dev
  libcairo2-dev
  libpango1.0-dev 
  

• Compile:

  $ git clone git@github.com:propublica/simple-tiles.git
  $ cd simple-tiles
  $ ./configure
  $ make && make install
  

Installation

Create and run a new GeoConcerns application from a template:

$ rails new app-name -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projecthydra-labs/geo_concerns/master/template.rb
$ cd app-name
$ rake hydra:server

Add GeoConcerns models to an existing CurationConcerns application:

1. Add gem 'geo_concerns' to your Gemfile.
2. bundle install
3. rails generate curation_concerns:install
4. rails generate geo_concerns:install -f

Development

1. bundle install
2. rake engine_cart:generate
3. rake geo_concerns:dev_servers

Testing

3. rake ci

To run tests separately:

$ rake geo_concerns:test_servers

Then, in another terminal window:

$ rake spec

To run a specific test:

rspec spec/path/to/your_spec.rb:linenumber

Running GeoServer for Development with Docker

MacOS

1. Make sure you have docker engine, docker-machine, and docker-compose installed.

   • Docker Toolbox: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox

2. Execute the following command in the geo_concerns directory:

   $ source ./run-docker.sh
   

3. To stop the server and remove port forwarding:

   $ docker-compose stop
   $ killall ssh
   

Linux

1. Make sure you have docker engine and docker-compose installed.

   • https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/
   • https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

2. Execute the following commands in the geo_concerns directory:

   $ docker-compose up -d
   

Running GeoServer for Development with Vagrant

1. Make sure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed.

   • https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
   • https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/

2. Execute the following commands:

   $ git clone https://github.com/geoconcerns/geoserver-vagrant.git
   $ cd geoserver-vagrant/
   $ vagrant up
