MyTardis 2.5 Release Candidate 1 Virtual Machine (CentOS 5.7) Final

This is a virtual machine for running MyTardis. It's in the Open Virtualization Format that can be imported by the free VirtualBox and various other virtualisation software. It's not complete yet, but it's a good start for those wanting to see how MyTardis works.

Centos 5.7 / MyTardis 2.5 / nginx / Postgres
## This machine is not intended on being run in a production environment ##

Notes:

- Open VirtualBox, File>Import Appliance. Make sure your network is bridged to the interface that has the internet right now (and can get another IP) and start it.

- Run /sbin/ifconfig to discover the IP address to this machine, then load in an external browser on the default port (80) to run MyTardis. MyTardis is configured to automatically start on boot.

- ssh username:password mytardis:mytardis

- All files accessible from /root.

-ROOT PASSWORD IS: boS48ytdYOLGgd

- MyTardis application credentials
u: mytardis p: mytardis
Admin interface under /admin

- There's a script in /root/mytardis/bin for restarting mytardis. That stops and starts everything it finds such as celery and uwsgi. It all runs through nginx. You'll want to do that if you change code for the changes to take effect. Also run /root/mytardis/mytardis/bin/django collectstatic on changes

- There's a samba mount for the staging area (partitioned by username but with no security) so you can add files to /mytardis and go to Create Experiment. (make sure /sbin/service smb is on)

- There are some files already stored that demonstrate that the diffraction image filter extracts metadata from compatible files.

- Single solr search box is working, but the index regen is manual right now. That's for if you add new parameter definitions that have is_searchable. The script under /root/mytardis/bin for regenerating the index will do it. After that you stop and start tomcat (service tomcat ), and do the same with mytardis. Which brings me to:

- There are a few apps that are off by default. These can be enabled via /root/mytardis/mytardis_settings.py

- Code is cloned as a git repository

- source /root/virtualenvs/mytardis/bin/activate should be run before running tests/django shell or installing any additional packages manually
