Installing Poppy
================
**Note:** These instructions are for running a local instance of Poppy. We suggest you run this inside a `virtualenv`_.
You must have `CassandraDB`_ installed and running. We recommend using Docker (see below)
1. From your home folder, create the ``~/.poppy`` folder and clone the repo::
$ cd
$ mkdir .poppy
$ git clone https://github.com/stackforge/poppy.git
2. Copy the Poppy config files to the directory ``~/.poppy``::
$ cp poppy/etc/poppy.conf ~/.poppy/poppy.conf
$ cp poppy/etc/logging.conf ~/.poppy/logging.conf
3. Find the ``[drivers:storage:cassandradb]`` section in
``~/.poppy/poppy.conf`` and modify the URI to point
to your local casssandra cluster::
[drivers:storage:cassandra]
cluster = "localhost"
keyspace = poppy
4. You need to create the default keyspace "poppy" on your cassandra host/cluster.
Log into cqlsh, do::
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE poppy WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy' , 'replication_factor' : 1} ;
5. For logging, find the ``[DEFAULT]`` section in
``~/.poppy/poppy.conf`` and modify as desired::
log_file = server.log
6. Change directories back to your local copy of the repo::
$ cd poppy
7. Run the following command so you can see the results of any changes you
make to the code without having to reinstall the package each time::
$ pip install -e .
8. Start the Poppy server::
$ poppy-server
9. Test that Poppy is working by requesting the home doc (with a sample project ID)::
$ curl -i -X GET http://0.0.0.0:8888/v1.0/123
You should get an **HTTP 200** along with some headers that look similar to the following example::
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:34:21 GMT
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.3
Content-Length: 464
Content-Type: application/json-home
Cache-Control: max-age=86400
Installing `CassandraDB`_ (using Docker)
------------------------------------------------
1. From the `docker/cassandra` folder::
$ docker build -t db .
2. Open the 9160 and 9042 ports for Cassandra.
Name the container 'cassandra'::
$ docker run -d -p 9160:9160 -p 9042:9042 --name cassandra db
3. Test the running cassandra instance (you may need to ``pip install cqlsh``)::
$ cqlsh <local ip> 9160
Where local ip is the ip address of your running docker container
4. Import the schema file from the poppy/storage/cassandra/schema.cql file.
