Summary: Automate creating a settings_local.py file for local
development
Key: AIRAVATA-3383
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3383
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Django Portal
Reporter: Marcus Christie
Assignee: Marcus Christie
Make it easier for gateway developers to get a settings_local.py for local
development. What we tend to do is copy the settings_local.py for the deployed
Django portal instance and then modify it to work for local development.
Here are some differences between the production and local dev settings_local.py
- comment out production settings like DEBUG, STATIC_ROOT, ALLOWED_HOSTS
- comment out the MySQL database engine - local dev will use sqlite db instead
-- need to also remove the db password or mask it
- set GATEWAY_DATA_STORE_REMOTE_API so that locally the user sees the files on
the remote deployed gateway
- comment out FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR
- comment out the TUS settings
Also, for the Keycloak OAuth login to work we need to add
{{http://localhost:8000/}} and {{http://localhost:8000/auth/callback*}}.
Improvements that could be made:
- ideally, we would create a new Keycloak client for the realm that has as
little privileges as necessary. The Keycloak client used for the production
deployed Django portals has 'manage-users' role. The Keycloak client for local
development should only allow logging in to localhost.
- might be good to create a SQLite configuration that names the database file
uniquely, but that is maybe something that is only useful is working on more
than one gateway
