The patch updates the user-faced documentation and adds a playbook
together with a doc meant mainly for RefStack developers which
helps with running the server instance locally.

Run-in-docker manual
====================
Option 1 - Using an ansible playbook
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These steps are meant for RefStack developers to help them with setting up
a local refstack instance.
In production RefStack server is managed by a set of playbooks and ansible roles
defined in `system-config <https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config.git>`__
repository. This option takes advantage of those.
The RefStack server is running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in the production.
You can find an ansible playbook in ``playbooks`` directory which semi-automates
the process of running refstack server in a container.
Execute the playbook by::
$ ansible-playbook playbooks/run-refstack-in-container.yaml
In order to avoid setting certificates and https protocol (it's simpler and more
than enough for a testing instance), edit
``/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf`` like following:
* remove VirtualHost section for the port 80 and change the port of VirtualHost from 443 to 80
* Turn off the SSLEngine (`SSLEngine on -> SSLEngine off`)
* Remove SSLCertificate lines
and then restart the apache service so that it loads the new configuration::
$ systemctl restart apache2
How to edit refstack files within the container
-----------------------------------------------
List the running container by::
$ docker container list
You can enter the container by::
$ sudo docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash
If you wanna install new packages like f.e. vim, do the following::
$ apt update
$ apt install vim
Edit what's needed, backend is installed under
``/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/refstack/`` and frontend source files
can be found at ``/refstack-ui``
After you made the changes, make pecan to reload the files served::
$ apt install procps # to install pkill command
$ pkill pecan
Killing pecan will kick you out of the container, however, pecan serves the
edited files now and you may re-enter the container.
Installing refstack with changes put for a review
-------------------------------------------------
In order to do this, you will need to rebuild the refstack image built by the
playbook.
Go to the location where the playbook downloaded system-config, default in
``/tmp/refstack-docker`` and edit the refstack's Dockerfile::
$ cd /tmp/refstack-docker
$ vim ./refstack-docker-files/Dockerfile
Replace::
$ RUN git clone https://opendev.org/osf/refstack /tmp/src
by::
$ RUN git clone https://opendev.org/osf/refstack.git /tmp/src \
&& cd /tmp/src && git fetch "https://review.opendev.org/osf/refstack" \
refs/changes/37/<change id/<patchset number> && git checkout -b \
change-<change id>-<patchset number> FETCH_HEAD
Then rebuild the image::
$ docker image build -f Dockerfile -t <name:tag> .
Edit the ``docker-compose.yaml`` stored (by default) in
``/etc/refstack-docker/docker-compose.yaml`` and change the the image
(under `refstack-api`) to your image name and tag you set in the previous step.
After then spin a new container using the new image::
$ cd /etc/refstack-docker
$ docker-compose down # if refstack container is already running
$ docker-compose up -d
To see the server's logs use the following command::
$ docker container logs -f <container name>
Option 2 - Using a script
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NOTE: This is currently outdated, follow the Option 1 for now.
The main purpose of the ``run-in-docker`` script is to provide a
convenient way to create a local setup of RefStack inside a Docker
container. It should be helpful for new developers and also for testing

The playbook semi-automates running the refstack server on the localhost.
It downloads refstack role and templates from
`system-config <https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config.git>`__ repository
which is used for deploying and maintaining upstream servers, one of which is
refstack. Then it builds the refstack image and spins a container using the
refstack role.
