[Arches] Re: Implementing "Workflows" featrure

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Yuval,

To my knowledge, this documentation hasn't been contributed yet to the 
Arches-docs. 

We have an open issue at 
https://github.com/archesproject/arches-docs/issues/215 in case anyone 
wants to take this on.  Adam and I recommend that it's added as new topic 
under Developing with Arches.

Thanks,
Angela

Re: [Arches] Re: Error when trying to start celery

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Alexei,

I'm back! I have copied the new celery.py file over into my project 
directory as suggested above, however, I still get the same error. 
Error:
Unable to load celery application.
The module XXX was not found.  

where XXX = {settings.ELASTICSEARCH_PREFIX}

The only celery management command 
<https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/stable/5.1.x/arches/management/commands/celery.py>
 
that I have is in the arches/arches/management/commands/ directory, and I 
see that is using the elasticsearch_prefix variable on lines 41 and 43 and 
not the project name. When I edit those lines manually and change them to 
use my project's name, I can run the command fine. 

Am I supposed to have a separate celery management command within my 
project folder or is this a bug with the arches management command?

Thanks,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Custom Card Components: Nested Concept Lists and Option based Boolean Toggles

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Mike and Brendon,

Any progress on your custom card components? Jelena recently posted asking 
about nested value lists/conditional collections, and I was wondering if 
you might have some code you could share with the community? (Or some 
lessons learned?)

Thanks,
Angela

Re: [Arches] Re: Error when trying to start celery

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Alexei,

Yep, I'm running the command local to where the manage.py file is located 
(running the command just like any other python manage.py command with no 
dir in front of the command).

But -- I think you just identified the problem! I do not have a celery.py 
file within my-project folder besides the celery.py files in 
media/packages/arches. This is a project that has been migrated from 4.0 
through the major versions over some time. So, maybe it never created the 
celery.py file during one of those migrations? 

I jumped on another virtual machine and installed a brand new arches 5.1 
project, and it did create a celery.py file with my project name as you 
pasted. 

Just for reference, on my migrated project, running 
find -iname celery.py

results in:
./[my-project]/[my-project]/media/packages/arches/arches/management/commands/celery.py
./[my-project]/[my-project]/media/packages/arches/arches/celery.py
./[my-project]/static/packages/arches/tests/fixtures/testing_prj/testing_prj/celery.py
./[my-project]/static/packages/arches/arches/management/commands/celery.py
./[my-project]/static/packages/arches/arches/celery.py
./env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/celery/bin/celery.py
./arches/tests/fixtures/testing_prj/testing_prj/celery.py
./arches/arches/management/commands/celery.py
./arches/arches/celery.py

So, should I just copy the contents of the celery.py file from the fresh 
project to my migrated project? And do you think this is an anomaly or a 
"feature" of migrating from much earlier versions? If the latter, should we 
add something to the docs to cover this?

Thank you for sticking with this,
Angela

Re: [Arches] Re: Error when trying to start celery

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Alexei,

Correct. I am running python manage.py celery start from within 
[my_project] folder, as per docs 
<https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/task-management/?highlight=celery#running-celery>,
 
which results in the 
Error:
Unable to load celery application.
The module [ my settings.ELASTICSEARCH_PREFIX ] was not found.
 
My project folder structure is standard -- no renaming of anything. 

Thanks,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Error when trying to start celery

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for checking in -- no, I haven't really solved it. I've got a 
workaround, but would appreciate any ideas or explanations so I can 
understand how celery is supposed to be configured (or so that we can 
update the docs if they need to be edited).

Angela

[Arches] Error when trying to start celery

[Angela Labrador]

Hello all,

I'm testing an upgrade to Arches 5.1 and have hit a stumbling block with 
trying to get celery running. I've followed the directions on the doc 
,
 
and have RabbitMQ installed and my settings.py file updated. I did not 
create a tasks.py file within my project folder because the docs imply this 
is only needed if I need to add additional tasks for my project (I just 
need the default Arches tasks). 

When I run python manage.py celery start from within my virtualenv, I get 

Error:
Unable to load celery application.
The module XXX was not found.  

where XXX = my settings.ELASTICSEARCH_PREFIX

However, when I edit the celery.py management command to use 
cmd = f"celery -A *arches* worker -B -l info"  
instead of settings.ELASTICSEARCH_PREFIX, celery starts up and connects to 
rabbitmq. 

I'm wondering why that management command is using the ES prefix and what I 
could be missing in my own project config that is causing this.

Thanks,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Advanced Search v5 - how do I use to find nodes that contain data?

[Angela Labrador]

It seems drastic -- but I'm not clear on what you're trying to accomplish. 
Does compiler(organization) have data in it? Or is this a new node you're 
trying to add to this branch?

[Arches] Re: Arches v5 - how to remove Delete this record?

[Angela Labrador]

Hey Jude,

Does your user have superuser status? If so, I don't think they'll be 
available to select by name in the permissions UI because, by default, the 
superuser already has permission.

[Arches] Re: Advanced Search v5 - how do I use to find nodes that contain data?

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Jude,

This is an interesting question -- and it may be related to this ticket: 
https://github.com/archesproject/arches/issues/6678 if I'm understanding 
the issue correctly. 

Normally, you can do a null/not-null search in the keyword area by just 
entering the node name, but this does not appear possible for 
resource-instance nodes -- and you're right, the advanced search sidebar 
doesn't offer wildcards.

So, I don't have a resolution to offer, but perhaps I'm missing something 
too...

Angela

[Arches] Re: Arches v5 - how to remove Delete this record?

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Jude,
Give this a try:

   1. Go to Arches Designer => Resource Model 
   2. Choose the Resource Model you want to set the permissions for
   3. Instead of clicking Manage -- choose the Permissions Tab (it will be 
   toward the top left of the screen)
   4. You can now set permissions per card -- if you want to disallow 
   deleting across all the cards of the resource model, you can select all the 
   top level cards (they should highlight when selected) and then set the 
   permissions in bulk. 

See: 
https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/designing-the-database/?highlight=permissions#permissions-tab

Hope this helps,

[Arches] Two Arches installations live in the Caribbean!

[Angela Labrador]

I'm excited to share with the Arches community two more installations that 
are live!

   - The Jamaica National Inventory of Historic Places 
   , managed by the Jamaica National 
   Heritage Trust: https://siteinventory.jnht.com/ 


   - The Barbados National Registry of Historic Places 
   , managed by the Ministry of Creative 
   Economy, Culture and Sports:  https://heritagebarbados.gov.bb/

Both sites were part of an initiative to establish and improve 
community-driven, national inventories/registers in the region as part of 
the Organization of American States 
 project, "Enhancing the 
Framework for the Development of a Heritage Economy in the Caribbean". The 
project was funded by the Permanent Mission of the United States to the 
Organization of American States.

We congratulate the governments of Barbados and Jamaica for their hard work 
in establishing and launching their inventories and community engagement 
campaigns (an especially challenging feat during COVID-19 curfews and 
work-from-home orders!). 

Technical expertise in establishing the programs, customizing Arches, and 
training was provided by my firm, Coherit Associates LLC. Arches 
installation and server administration was provided by LegionGIS.  

We recognize David Myers, Alison Dalgity, and Alina Myklebust at GCI, who 
provided guidance and support in implementing Arches in the region. And we 
so appreciate the ongoing technical support provided by members of this 
community! 

Thank you to everyone who collaborated in this effort!   

Angela

[Arches] Re: Multiple CSS and JS files missing from /media/packages

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Philip,

You're nearly there. You probably still need to install the required 
packages using yarn:
cd Projects/myproject/myproject
yarn install

That should install all of those packages in your media/packages folder. 

Hope this helps,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Initial installation - getting .pbf - st_asmvtgeom() does not exist error

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Kuba,

I have not encountered this error before, but I believe this function is 
part of PostGIS. Do you get any errors in your console when you go to the 
/search page and view your map? Is it just an error with this one resource 
or with all? If you trigger the error again, can you send a full screenshot 
of the gray traceback area?

Thanks,
Angela

Hi Kuba, 

What version of couchdb do you have installed? I have seen this issue on 
servers where an apt-get update was run, which inadvertently brought 
couchdb up to version 3, which is not compatible with Arches.

[Arches] Re: Performance / Missing files

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Elishai,

This looks like the packages managed by yarn aren't installed. You'll want 
to navigate to your project directory and find the file package.json and 
then run yarn install from within that directory.  For example:

cd Projects/myproject/myproject
yarn install

If you did this already as part of your installation and you're serving 
Arches over Apache (or another web server), you may need to run 
collectstatic, which will place these files somewhere that the server can 
find them -- see the section under handling static files: 
https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/serving-arches-with-apache/

Hope this helps,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Uploading photos via Arches Collector and duplicate filename woes

[Angela Labrador]

Following up on this thread; Adam Cox and I looked into this further and it 
appears that this behavior is related to django-storages. There is a 
setting,  AWS_S3_FILE_OVERWRITE, that defaults to True. (By default files 
with the same name will overwrite each other. Set this to False to have 
extra characters appended.). So, adding this to settings_local.py fixed the 
issue. Anyone using s3 buckets to store uploaded files, will probably want 
to make sure they have this set to False.

[Arches] Uploading photos via Arches Collector and duplicate filename woes

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Arches Collector fans,

I've been experiencing the following issue, and wondering if this is 
expected behavior or a bug:

I have a resource model that basically amounts to a condition assessment 
report with a file-list node for uploading photos.

   1. I submit a report with a photo from my phone through the collector
   2. Sync the project 
   3. Resulting report is perfect online
   4. I submit a second report with a new photo from my phone through the 
   collector
   5. Sync the project 
   6. Resulting new report is perfect -- BUT the photo in the first report 
   is overwritten by the second report's photo

This seems to be caused by how the collector defaults to naming photos 
"1.jpg" (rather than using the phone's native filename or uid) -- and so, 
when the second report is synced to the server, the new photo overwrites 
the previously uploaded "1.jpg"

Is this expected? Are collector users supposed to manually set a filename? 
If so, how will they know it's a filename not in use?

It seems as though the process_mobile_data method in datatypes.py would be 
a convenient place to rename files with a uuid or something? It looks like 
it's doing some logic to that effect for individual instances (in the case 
of multiple photos uploaded per report) but not across all existing files.  

As an aside, Arches appears to have the same behavior, but I just haven't 
encountered the problem because the upload widget doesn't default to 
"1.jpg" but instead uses the filename provided by the computer, so there's 
a smaller chance of duplicate names. 

In both cases, this could become quite a problem as it basically allows 
users to overwrite existing uploaded files without a warning. 

I welcome all ideas and reflections -- especially among those of you 
dealing with large databases containing lots of uploaded media! (If it 
matters, this is in an environment where media files are being stored in 
aws s3 bucket.)

Thanks!

Angela

[Arches] Re: Setting DATE_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT for Collector

[Angela Labrador]

Thanks, Alina! 

I've coded a workaround that parses the date, at least according to the 
formats that I've encountered on a few different android and ios devices. 
It's probably not robust enough for a pull request, but if anyone else has 
been dealing with this problem, I'm happy to explain what I did (edits are 
mainly in 
https://github.com/legiongis/arches/blob/stable/5.0.x-fpan-dateparse/arches/app/datatypes/datatypes.py
 and  
https://github.com/legiongis/arches/blob/stable/5.0.x-fpan-dateparse/arches/app/models/mobile_survey.py
)

[Arches] Re: Editing a Resource node after data entry

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Brendon,

Take a look at this 
post: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/archesproject/4VL7sZV9D-I/L-3U8-FFAgAJ

This should allow you to edit your resource model midstream (with caution).

It would be nice to have a management tool that exports business data and 
prepares an import with the new mapping with the new node value set to null 
(or a default value) for a fresh import into the new/revised resource 
model. (You can do this manually right now, but it would be nice to 
automate.) I think that would probably be the more "proper way" than adding 
new nodes on a live data set. 

Hope this helps,
Angela

Hi all,

I would be happy to pitch in on a documentation sprint! Count me in. :-)

[Arches] Re: Errored-out Search Engine

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Brendon,

Is Elasticsearch running? That is usually my first question when I get 
search errors. If you have command line access to the server running 
elasticsearch you can quickly test by:
curl localhost:9200

If it's running you'll get something like:
{
  "name" : "localhost",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "DoZwos0YR26WsHSZYO4O2A",
  "version" : {
"number" : "7.2.0",
"build_flavor" : "default",
"build_type" : "tar",
"build_hash" : "508c38a",
"build_date" : "2019-06-20T15:54:18.811730Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "8.0.0",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}


See: 
https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arches-and-elasticsearch/#arches-and-elasticsearch

If this isn't the issue -- do you see any errors in your console? (in 
Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + i to open the developer tools and click on the 
Console tab)

[Arches] Re: Custom Card Components: Nested Concept Lists and Option based Boolean Toggles

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Brendon,

I've worked on a card component with Adam Cox that automatically fills in 
the current django username on a text node in form view. I would think that 
parts of the knockout would be somewhat similar (but you wouldn't have to 
do the additional check of getting the variable from the django template). 
We opted to modify the default text widget rather than create a new 
component because of concerns regarding editing the resource model 
midstream, but you could just do this as a custom and not have to do the 
additional node.id check that we had to.

The repo is at https://github.com/legiongis/fpan  and the files with 
relevant code would be:

   - media/js/views/components/widgets/text.js 
   - templates/views/components/widgets/text.htm
   - 
   - templates/views/components/cards/default.htm

I found the google extension "Knockoutjs context debugger" to be really 
helpful during this.

Hope this helps,
Angela

[Arches] Setting DATE_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT for Collector

[Angela Labrador]

Hi everyone, 

I'm running into a problem syncing a date using the Collector app in Arches 
5 (and previously in 4). I'm getting the following error:

arches.app.models.tile.TileValidationError: '2020-04-02T00:00:00.000-04:00 
None is not in the correct format, make sure it is in this format: 
%Y-%m-%d or set the date format in 
settings.DATE_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT. This data was not imported.'


and so I added in my settings_local.py file:
DATE_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT = ['%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z 
%Z', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%-f%z %Z']


However, none of these match the format string (I'm most unsure of the last 
portion with the milliseconds and time zone). 

Back in the Arches' project resource model, the node is datatype = date, 
and the card widget is using date format ISO 6801 -MM-DD. No project 
overrides on any of these. In the collector app, I get the standard pop up 
calendar and can choose a date (no time). 

Grateful for ideas. Thanks,
Angela

[Arches] Re: QA/Type & Resource Approval: How to?

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Dennis,

That makes a lot of sense -- thank you for the explanation! I think I was 
expecting to see what was in the docs and that I had missed a setting. I 
now see how it works when it's the first provisional entry vs a subsequent 
provisional edit (and it does work just as you describe). Sorry to barge 
into this thread...

All best,
Angela

[Arches] Re: QA/Type & Resource Approval: How to?

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Brendon and Dennis,

We're having a similar issue on a site running version 4.4.1. The 
provisional QA Type search works perfectly. When we click Edit for a 
resource with provisional edits, the provisional edit card icons are 
showing up as gold on the left, and we are getting the pink banner at the 
top of the form. However, we are never shown the information to the right 
of the data entry card that was described above (what looks like what 
should be provided by the provisional-tile-manager template?).

Any ideas? Are we missing something obvious here? Permissions seem in order 
-- creating the resource as a resource editor and reviewing as a Resource 
Reviewer.

Did you ever solve it on your end Brendon?

Thanks,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Pre-populating text widget with username

[Angela Labrador]

Thanks, Andrew! You got me on the right track...for others interested, I 
was able to get this working with my test case of a hardcoded value with 
the following:

return ko.components.register('text-widget', {
viewModel: function(params) {
params.configKeys = ['placeholder', 'width', 'maxLength', 
'defaultValue'];
this.username = ko.observable("abc");
this.username.subscribe(function(newValue) {
params.value(newValue);
});
this.username.subscribe(function(oldValue) {
params.value(oldValue);
}, null, "beforeChange");
WidgetViewModel.apply(this, [params]); 
},
template: { require: 'text!widget-templates/text' }
});

Sure -- here's my sanity check version (putting aside the need to pass the

templates/views/components/widgets/text.htm








media/js/views/components/widgets/text.js

WidgetViewModel) {
/**

* @param {string} params.config().label - label to use alongside the 
text input
* @param {string} params.config().placeholder - default text to show in 
the text input
*/
return ko.components.register('text-widget', {
viewModel: function(params) {
params.configKeys = ['placeholder', 'width', 'maxLength', 
'defaultValue'];
WidgetViewModel.apply(this, [params]); 
this.username = ko.observable("abc");
},
template: { require: 'text!widget-templates/text' }
});
});


This displays 'abc' in the form field upon load, but returns a 500 error on 
tile when I click add. I'm not too surprised since params.value is not 
getting set, but I can't wrap my head around how to autofill the field on 
the template without setting *all* textwidget params.values to 
{{user.username}}. I even tried setting attr: value={{user.username}} on 
the template side without touching the viewmodel, but while the username 
appeared, it was the same 500 error on tile (no value being passed). 

Thanks for any ideas!
Angela

[Arches] Pre-populating text widget with username

[Angela Labrador]

Hi everyone,

I have a node, let's call it  (datatype string), which uses the 
default text widget. When users are completing the relevant form, I would 
like to autofill  with the {{user.username}} value (but to still 
allow users to change the value). 

I've been trying to avoid writing a new widget to handle this scenario and 
instead use the existing text widget viewmodel and template. I'm 
successfully able to target the correct node by using knockout if/ifnot 
bindings
e.g.:


...






However, each attempt I make at the custom input fails (using either value 
or textInput data-binds). It's seemingly easy to make the correct username 
appear in the form field when the card loads (by setting params.value to 
{{user.username}}) but every time I click Add on the form, the tile save 
function fails validation (500 error), so I'm not actually passing the 
value correctly or it's getting set/unset at the wrong times or in the 
wrong order. As a sanity check I've also tried a simple 
data-bind="textInput: userName..." in the template and then this.userName = 
ko.observable('abc'); in the textwidget viewmodel, but while abc appears in 
the field, I get the same 500 error upon submit. Even when I manually 
delete the field and type something new, the form fails. I should note that 
the card has multiple text widgets on it.

I'm fairly new to knockout, so I could be attacking this all wrong or 
missing something fundamental. Any ideas for how this could be done? 
(Trying to avoid editing the resource model...but maybe that can't be 
avoided).

Thanks!
Angela

Re: [Arches] Arches and Intangible Heritage

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Selene,

It's Angela (from the recent crafts workshop in Barbados!). I have done
some experimentation in this vein (actually preparing a paper on it now, so
good timing!).

The OAS cultural heritage project, of which Belize is a participating
member state, is using Arches for tangible heritage inventories, and we
published a guide, which includes a section on databases that would still
be relevant -- you can download the pdf here:
http://coherit.com/projectfiles/Output3ImplementationGuide.pdf. Feel free
to have NICH contact Celia Toppin at the OAS if they're interested in
implementing this -- the project and donor would be very excited to hear.

As for ICH, I have found the theoretical work that has been done in the
Columbia Caribbean region to be really helpful in thinking through the
entities (many of them place-based) that would be modeled in a system such
as Arches. Their approach is translated as "An Eco-Technological Approach,"
and while it focuses mainly on handcrafts, I think it is just as viable for
the other four domains of ICH.
http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext=S0122-1450201300016

Arches is primed to work with the CIDOC-CRM ontology. Although it was born
out of more of a tangible heritage context, it does include immaterial
things within its standard now. Also, if you consider that ICH is mediated
through tangible things (i.e. knowledge/skill through a person or
information resource, performance at a location through a person), you will
find that you can map the ICH world using CIDOC.

So, my practical suggestion would be to start by modeling your ICH
inventory using CIDOC on paper/whiteboard/whatever first. Test to see if it
will be a good fit for Belize -- I think it would be and that Arches can
work very well for then managing these data digitally.

I think the more we can break down the silos between tangible and
intangible, and to recognize how both are place-based, the better our
inventory and management systems will be. Plus, if NICH takes up Arches for
tangible, then that would create a pool of colleagues and experts using the
same system in your agency -- always good for sustainability.

All best,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Changing order of items in a data collection

[Angela Labrador]

Hi, 

To extend this question:

It *is* still possible to add sort order values to concepts in the RDM 
Collections -- that works fine. 

However, there is this nifty drag and drop interface in the Collections 
panel, which suggests that when the user drags and drops collection 
concepts to change the order, that those changes should in fact be 
committed (but aren't, as Neil notes above). Is the drag and drop meant to 
commit changes? (Screenshot attached shows resorted collection concepts in 
the drag and drop panel that I believe Neil is referencing)

Thanks for any thoughts,
Angela

[Arches] Re: Time Zone

[Angela Labrador]

Hi Dale --

You're in the right file, but the wrong lines -- that area controls the 
database's timezone settings.

If you look further down in your settings_local.py, you will find the 
TIME_ZONE line and the USE_TZ line -- edit those (which control Django). 
They're around line 322 for me (Arches 4.3.0).

You may have to restart Apache or your Django testserver.

Re: [Arches] Re: error initialising

[Angela Labrador]

Thanks for confirming so quickly, Adam!

I had looked at the xenial dependencies script and saw node legacy listed,
so it seemed deliberate...but I just kept hitting those issues with v4.2.6.

Will move forward by installing 6.2.0.

Thanks again,

Re: [Arches] Re: error initialising

[Angela Labrador]

This just happened to me on two fresh Arches 4 installations. When I run 
collectstatic, the packages directory is never copied into my static dir 
that apache is serving, thus various javascript reference errors start 
popping up because the js scripts aren't loading/being found (effectively 
breaking the site beyond the home page).

I tried reinstalling yarn (in my virtualenv) as Adam suggested above -- it 
is at 1.9.4, although it does give me a warning that I'm using Node 4.2.6, 
which is not supported. Is this legacy version used by design? Or did 
something go wrong during my installation (Ubuntu Xenial)?

Like Ben, I can hunt around for the javascript files and copy them over to 
my static folder manually, but I wonder what didn't run correctly during 
installation (and what other errors may be lurking because of that).

[Arches] Supporting "fuzzy dates", approximations, and uncertain dates in Arches

[Angela Labrador]

Greetings!

While learning how Arches works and testing it out in house, we found that 
adding Extended Date/Time Format 
<http://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/pre-submission.html>support to 
Arches date fields would possibly benefit users who need to manage a wider 
range of dates in their inventory system: dates such as "about 1800" or 
date ranges such as "1934 - present". 

We've developed a validation function that can handle such date strings 
while maintaining consistency and basic integrity for search in Arches. The 
feature is available to the community at our Github repository along with 
more detailed technical documentation 
<https://github.com/coherit/edtf-arches-hip> for installing and testing. 
Our recent blog article 
<http://www.coherit.com/blog/fuzzy-dates-edtf-arches/> provides some 
background as well. 

Please try it out -- we welcome all contributions and issue reports at our 
repo!

Hope this helps out some folks,
Angela Labrador, PhD.

[Arches] Best practices for place data not meant for publication

[Angela Labrador]

Hello all,

Apologies if this has already been addressed:

I'm dealing with a use case wherein a particular heritage site's location 
is "Not for publication" but still needs to be tracked within Arches by 
authenticated users. The ACL grants permissions per node, and I have not 
found a flag that allows for per instance override (e.g. by default all 
locations are available to anonymous users, but if field_x=true or 
address_type="private" then the place data are only available to 
authenticated users). 

Since this is a common issue with archaeological sites and certain 
Indigenous and sacred sites, I'm wondering how others have dealt with this 
or if I'm missing something obvious. 

Many thanks,
Angela

[Arches] cloud/vps reserve specs

[Angela Labrador]

I understand the minimum requirements as posted for Arches is 8-16GB of 
RAM, which for institutions with in house servers or dedicated server 
hosting levels (already), is fairly economical. 

But for small organizations with little to no budget, a vps or cloud setup 
would be nice. However, having 8-16GB of RAM in reserve typically scales a 
vps plan into uneconomical and fairly over spec'ed territory. For instance, 
on linode, 8GB of RAM also gets you 6 CPU cores, 192GB SSD, and 8TB 
transfer at $80/month, which seems ridiculously overpowered. With AWS EC2, 
you're looking at a t2.large instance at the least, which puts you at 
$76/mo. 

For those of you running Linux vps or cloud instances out there, I'm 
curious what your average load has been and what resources your instance 
needs in reserve. For those on AWS, are you on a t2 instance, and if so, 
how are the CPU credits working out?

I understand this all scales depending upon dataset size and number of 
requests, so any stats people can share would be really helpful for 
estimating budgets and planning for future steps up in instance specs as 
the dataset grows.

Many thanks,
Angela

P.S. I can share the following for my testing instance: 
Linode 1GB RAM 1CPU core running Ubuntu trusty with the sample Arches 3 hip 
data, with 1 demo user accessing, the load was minimal: max CPU usage 8%, 
i/o rate 76 avg with highest spike at 1890, using 1% of monthly bandwidth 
to install and access (2 work weeks of fairly regular access/usage). 
But getting some production data would be nice...

Re: [Arches] jQuery error on fresh install of 3.0.4 and hip 1.0.3

[Angela Labrador]

Amazingly helpful -- thank you!

Once I followed these instructions (and chgrp to www-data on the new static
dir) the install was golden and I no longer have the jquery error.

Looking back, I think I was just missing this step all along and had
bungled things by doing the work of collectstatic manually by copying files
to my local custom media dir (although not completely, hence the error).

Thanks again,
Angela

Re: [Arches] jQuery error on fresh install of 3.0.4 and hip 1.0.3

[Angela Labrador]

Thanks, Adam. I started over in order to test all this: 

   - Reinstalled all dependencies using the bash script at 
   http://arches3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing-dependencies-linux/
   - Ran through all installation instructions for arches and arches_hip
   - Opened the firewall to allow temp remote access to django development 
   server

NO ERRORS when using the django dev server! Hooray!

However, when I host through apache, none of the contents of the arches or 
arches_hip media directories (e.g. css, js, etc.) are being hosted. I'm 
assuming this is related to 
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'media'),) + STATICFILES_DIRS
in settings.py. 

In my apache host conf, I have media successfully aliased to my app's 
specific media directory (the one where I would put my custom files like 
package.css). But, it is not aggregating the other sources for these static 
files. 

What is the best way to edit settings.py and/or httpd.conf to make sure 
that the media directories under arches/ and arches_hip/ are also being 
hosted? Are people hardcoding this into settings.py? Using symlinks from 
/var/www?

Many thanks,
Angela

Re: [Arches] jQuery error on fresh install of 3.0.4 and hip 1.0.3

[Angela Labrador]

HI Alexei,

Thanks for looking into this. Yes, I did load the sample data with no
errors reported while running load_concept_scheme. RDM shows 43
collections, 2 schemes, 136 entity types, and 1222 concepts.

I should have mentioned that this is on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.3 and using
Apache2 (I believe I have mod_wsgi set up correctly, but that's another
variable to throw in the mix as it could be a path missing in my vhost conf
file).

Thanks again,
Angela

Re: [Arches] jQuery error on fresh install of 3.0.4 and hip 1.0.3

[Angela Labrador]

Great catch, Adam.

Good news: I rebuilt the database and reloaded the sample authority files
-- now I'm at 1221 concepts (I must have added one while poking around).

Not so great news: I disabled apache, edited iptables, ran the django
development server on 0.0.0.0:8000, pointed the web browser to the new
port, and... still got the error.

It sounds like it must be something local to my environment, and likely a
path missing in my settings file or local env. I'll comb through the docs
again and my logs to see if I can track it down. If any other ideas occur
to anyone, I'm all ears!

Thanks,
Angela
