## Running it
|
2019-02-20 16:49:45 +00:00
|
|
|
### Backend
|
|
|
|
- `cp example.env .env` and modify environment variables as required
|
|
|
|
- `docker-compose build`
|
2019-02-21 12:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
- `docker-compose up -d django`
|
|
|
|
- if you don't specify `django`, it'll also start `gephi` which should only be run as a regular one-off job
|
2019-02-22 15:37:10 +00:00
|
|
|
- to run in production, run `caddy` rather than `django`
|
2019-02-20 16:49:45 +00:00
|
|
|
### Frontend
|
|
|
|
- `cd frontend && yarn install`
|
|
|
|
- `yarn start`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Commands

|
|
### Backend
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After running the backend in Docker:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-21 14:54:44 +00:00
|
|
|
- `docker-compose exec web python manage.py scrape` scrapes the fediverse
|
|
|
|
- It only scrapes instances that have not been scraped in the last 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
- By default, it'll only scrape 50 instances in one go. If you want to scrape everything, pass the `--all` flag.
|
2019-02-21 12:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
- `docker-compose exec web python manage.py build_edges` aggregates this information into edges with weights
|
|
|
|
- `docker-compose run gephi java -Xmx1g -jar build/libs/graphBuilder.jar` lays out the graph
|
2019-02-20 16:49:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run in production, use `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.production.yml` instead of just `docker-compose`.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-03-08 16:25:53 +00:00
|
|
|
An example crontab:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# crawl 50 stale instances (plus any newly discovered instances from them)
|
|
|
|
# the -T flag is important; without it, docker-compose will allocate a tty to the process
|
|
|
|
15,45 * * * * docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.production.yml exec -T django python manage.py scrape
|
|
|
|
# build the edges based on how much users interact
|
|
|
|
15 3 * * * docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.production.yml exec -T django python manage.py build_edges
|
|
|
|
# layout the graph
|
|
|
|
20 3 * * * docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.production.yml run gephi java -Xmx1g -jar build/libs/graphBuilder.jar
|
|
|
|
```

|
### Frontend
|
|
|
|
