This is an old revision of the document!
This is an overview how I replicated the ICGEM website locally
The motivation is to test changes without the necessity to push them to the test-server. Here I can test updates for the website. And implement a relational metadatabase as a prototype.
Infrastructure. consists of 3 Docker containers:
- WSGI container with the Cherypy code
- nginx container with static files
- mongodb container that replicates a test db. see tip#2 about configuration
Networking:
- dbs connects wsgi and mongodb containers
- www connects wsgi and nginx containers
Branching: the configuration files for infrastructure are not tracked by git (added to the .git/exclude). commits to other files can be merged, cherry-picked, rebased to feature branches.
