Troubleshooting

In case you are running into problems during installation and running of the system.

See the troubleshooting page for troubleshooting.

Individual containers

For prerequisites and installation of individual containers, see their docker files, located in the (service)/docker folder in their respective repository.

Under the hood

Virtualbox is a utility that lets people creating virtual machines on your computer.

Vagrant is used as a tool to define VMs characteristics, that will be then run through Virtualbox - in other words, it is used so we can write a manifesto that defines the characteristics of a VM, and the VM generated has always the same characteristics. It is useful in this case to model the development VM just as if it was the server on which we will run the application.

Deployment

To aid deployment of the system there is a helper bash script `oms-docker/deploy.sh` that cleanly installs the newest version, as well as providing a way to keep the environment variables between versions. When deploying on fraktis.aegee.org (our public test server) this script should be used (located in `/srv/`).
