View source for Setting up GeoNode 2 on 12.04 VM on CedeusGeoNode

>> return to [[Cedeus_Technical_Architecture]]
----

== basic steps performed ==

* create a new VM with Ubuntu 12.04 - with openssh and mail installed
* remove the cl locale of /etc/apt/sources.list
* update and upgrade => important because of hardbleed bug
* shutdown + remove the iso from the VM
* copied the VM => basicUbuntu1204.zip

== setting up GeoNode ==
* a listing of necessary packages is here: http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/tutorials/admin/install/custom_install.html#custom-install
* so we need to install 
**(i) apache2, 
**(ii) Java + Tomcat7, 
**(iii) postgresql (postgis only if we want to store the geodata locally), 
**(iv) python stuff for django
* install apache2  <code>sudo apt-get install apache2</code>
* install tomcat7 <code>sudo apt-get install tomcat7</code>
* install python <code>sudo apt-get install python-software-properties</code>
* to install postgresql is not really necessary, as postgres 9.1 will be also installed by geonode, and I am using for my data an external postgresql-postgis db. However, I want 9.3 so:
*: see here about adding the repo: http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
*: <code>sudo apt-get update</code>
*: <code>sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 pgadmin3 postgresql-contrib</code>
*: perform: <code>sudo -u postgres psql</code> and then <code>CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;</code>
*: => note, after installing my postgresql 9.3 will be accessed via port 5432 
*: for doc see also: http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/tutorials/admin/install/install_postgresql.html#install-postgresql
* install GeoNode:
*: add the geonode repo key: <code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release</code>
*: update the package list: <code>sudo apt-get update</code>
*: install geonode:<code>sudo apt-get install genode</code> NB:this wil also install postgres9.1!
*: <code>sudo geonode-updateip 127.0.0.1</code>
*: <code>geonode createsuperuser</code>
*: modify setting in /etc/geonode/local_settings.py and restart apache
*: => now the geonode webpage should be running! 
*: Btw. the psotgres 9.1 version installed together with geonode will be accessed via port 5433, while 5432 is used by 9.3 already

== modify GeoNode styling ==

* change webpage colors and add cedeus logo 
**: create folders /etc/geonode/media/geonode/img/ and /etc/geonode/media/geonode/css/
**: copy cedeus logo.png and cedeus base.css into its corresponding folder (may require chmod 777)
**: perform <code>sudo geonode collectstatic -v0</code>
**: => check if it worked

* change welcome text for es/en/de 
*: change django.po files for each language in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/geonode/locale (for german file, check around line 3600) (may require switch of chmod 777 from originally 755)
*: run <code>sudo geonode compilemessages -l de</code> from "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/geonode/" for each particular language
**: => check if it worked

== fine tuning for working with Geonode ==

see also http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/tutorials/admin/production.html

* direct access to the db with PgAdmin:
** modify ''/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf'' and ''/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf'' (for pq_hba.conf see http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Initial_Postgres_Configuration)
*: => be sure to edit the right postgres files with respect to the installed postres versions
** <code>sudo service postgresql restart</code>
** check if connection with pgAdmin to geonode db works (which contains user and metadata)
* set the memory for tomcat7: create file ''/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/setenv.sh'' and add the following lines
<pre>
#!/bin/sh 
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=270m -server -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=$CATALINA_HOME/content/thredds/javaUtilPrefs" 
export JAVA_OPTS
</pre>
* disallow user self registration - Note, does not seem necessary. Default seems to be "False".
** add to /etc/geonode/local_settings.py the line <code>REGISTRATION_OPEN=True</code> for enabling registration to all
* create users and user groups
** use the admin option from within geonode, which links to the django admin pages
** eg. I created two user groups cedeusadmin and cedeususer with user ''stefanS'' (1...a) as member of the latter group, and ''stefanadmin''(20..s) as "staff member" a default group. also I created a "cedeus_testuser" (fo...p2...3)
* adjust geoserver settings as described under http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/tutorials/admin/production.html
** add proxy address under global settings
** change admin pw, plus create "cedeus" user for backup resasons (pw same as for external postgisdb)
** add host IP for printing to ''/usr/share/geoserver/data/printing/config.yaml''
* create /robots.txt file in var/www/ (for conent see link above)
* modify /etc/tomcat7/server.xml by adding <code>maxThreads="50"</code> to connector 8080 settings.
* GeoServer > JAI settings: disable Tile Recycling and enable jpg and png acceleration
