Getting Started

 

Set up your local environment (with docker)

Prerequisites

The following procedure assumes you have docker installed on your machine

Docker environment

Clone project https://bitbucket.org/wediaproduct/docker-compose-template-gul/src/master/

This repository contains a docker compose template for running the whole WEDIA application.
Make sure to read the README.md.

It is recommended to use this repository as a template that you can easily update (git pull).
→ Do not run your project from this cloned repository.

Init a project environment

Follow these steps every time you need to setup a new environment:

  • Copy the docker-compose-template folder to your own projects folder:
    Assuming you cloned the repository in ~/git-repositories/wedia-docker-template and you store your projects in ~/projects, and you want to start project projectWedia

    cd ~ cp -R ./git-repositories/wedia-docker-template ./my-projects/projectWedia
  • Delete content of folders san, db and admin:

    cd ~/my-projects/projectWedia rm -rf ./san/* rm -rf ./admin/* rm -rf ./db/*
  • Start the whole docker environment (assuming ports 8080, 8000, 8888, are not used)

    docker compose up

    At this point, your server is started, you can start configuring it manually.

  • Init environment using predefined script
    In order to ease the basic configuration of the platform, we provide a JS project: https://bitbucket.org/wediaproduct/wedia_auto_installer/src/master/. Clone this repository, then:
    First time, init the project

    Then you can finalize an environment configuration by running:

Start a project environment

Follow these steps every time you need to switch from one environment to another:

  • stop all your containers

  • move to environment folder

  • start environment

Init security settings

Security settings are initialized from the PACKAGED_Security plugin:

From <your wedia server>/admin/plugin/view?action=edit&name=PACKAGED_Security

  • Browse to Business Services tab

  • Open the swagger doc for com.wedia.packaged.security.extensions.PackagedSecurityAdminApi

  • Open /api/packaged/admin/security/update

  • Click Try it out

  • Click Execute

Initializing the portal application

To prepare the portal application, you need to clone the wediaproduct / portal repository

Once done, you will need to setup some basic information.

Make sure you are running on the appropriate node version (16)

run the following command

This will create a .wediaportalrc file at the root of your project.

You will need to adapt generated content for your project.

The .wediaportalrc file replaces .env files that were used before.

If you are migrating from a previous version of the portal without a .wediaportalrc file, you can automatically generate the .wediaportalrc file based on your .env files

npm run wediaportal -- restore

Cloud environments

MediaCloud setup

Do not forget to ask for a MediaCloud Wedia ID to ESAAS team. This is a requirements for:

  • Artificial intelligence features

  • Players

  • Video transcriptions

  • Documents transcriptions

Email server setup

Do not forget to ask ESAAS team to configure the smtp server, and to make sure the cloud environment is allowed to connect this server.
