Website mijn.makerspaceleiden.nl setup

The code is hosted on GitHub at: https://github.com/MakerSpaceLeiden/makerspaceleiden-crm

Instructions for getting up and running locally are available in the Read Me.

How to update

Check that you are in the 'crmadmin' group.

cd /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm
# Ensure you are on the correct branch
git checkout prod
# Pull the latest changes
git pull
# Run the deployment script
./rollout-prod.sh

Setup from zero

Note: pretty much everything below is stock/totally-standard django/python Standard Operating Procedure (except for the chmod/chgrp on the var/media upload).

Make sure the baseline tools are present:

sudo apt-get install msmtp-mta apache2 libapache2-mod-uwsgi
sudo snap install astral-uv --classic

The default-libmysqlclient-dev module is needed as pip3 wants mysqlconfig - which is not in the baseline libmysqlclient.

Initial checkout of code:

cd /usr/local
git clone https://github.com/MakerSpaceLeiden/makerspaceleiden-crm.git

Make everything group owned (crmadmin) and add that group to the accounts of those that need to maintain it.

Create random seed

openssl rand 128 > /etc/crm_secret_key.txt
chmod 640 /etc/crm_secret_key.txt
chgrp www-data /etc/crm_secret_key.txt

Allow storing of uploads in media by the suid that the webserver runs as:

mkdir -p var/media
chown www-data var/media

Allow server to rotate/recreate logfiles on the fly

mkdir /var/log/crm
chown www-data:crmadmin /var/log/crm
chmod 770 /var/log/crm

Prepare environment for python and pull in the various dependencies.

uv venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate
uv sync

Set up the framework

cd makerspaceleiden
ln -s prod.py local.py
cat > makerspaceledien/my.cnf <<EOM
[client]
database = mslcrm
user = mslcrmuser
password = XXXX-passowrd-XXX
default-character-set = utf8
EOM

Create database & user

mysql (suply database admin arguments as and when needed)
CREATE DATABASE mslcrm;
CREATE USER 'mslcrmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'XXXX-passowrd-XXX';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mslcrm.* TO 'mslcrmuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Check for issues, init and build database & site

uv run manage.py check --deploy
uv run manage.py makemigrations
uv run manage.py migrate
uv run manage.py collectstatic

Check that email works:

uv run manage.py sendtestemail your@email.address.com

Create temp super user so you can log into complete the setup

uv run manage.py createsuperuser

Create apache config

cat > /etc/apache2/sites-available/crm.conf <<EOM
WSGIScriptAlias /crm /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/makerspaceleiden/wsgi.py  process-group=crm

WSGIDaemonProcess crm python-home=/usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/venv python-path=/usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/
WSGIProcessGroup  crm

Activate this setup

ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/crm.conf  /etc/apache2/sites-active/crm.conf

Start server and keep an eye on the log:

apacheclt configtest
apachectl restart
tail -F /var/log/apache2/error.log

XXX todo XXXXX - daphne needs to be setup/restarted and log files - including systemd setup !

Now go to https://mijn.makerspaceleiden.nl/ and create the initial members/structure. Assign the trustees the super user permission; then delete the temporary admin you made.

Setup Signal Bridge

Requires openjdk, java-dbus-bin and dbussy. Binary package from Shttps://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/; installed in /home/signal-cli (post install 600/700 locked down).

Post install - as user signal-cli - activation is required:

signal-cli -u +317... register -voice
signal-cli -u +317... verify code from call

which will create the right structure in ~/.local.

Source is required for the systemd files - installed with https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/wiki/DBus-service instructions.

Logfile retention

Configured in 'prod' settings - few MBs/days of logs is kept & then rotated out/deleted using the standard RotatingLogging handler.

See https://github.com/MakerSpaceLeiden/makerspaceleiden-crm/commit/de5de35dd22a317bb93568dadc1b8737a819023a for details.

Cleanup and reminder crons

The following entries need to be added to the crontab (either to /etc/cron, to cron.daily/monthly or to the `users' cron):

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=noc@makerspaceleiden.nl
MAILFROM="MSL Server (cron)"
NULLMAILUSER_NAME="MSL Server (cron)"
....
# General maintenance mails of [https://mijn.makerspaceleiden.nl mijn.makerspaceleiden.nl].
#
# m h d m d user  cmd
1 1 * * * USER test -x /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/cron-midnight.sh && /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/cron-midnight.sh
1 2 1 * * USER test -x /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/cron-monthly.sh && /usr/local/makerspaceleiden-crm/cron-monthly.sh

With 'USER' a user with the right rights.

Backup

This is done by the /etc/duplicity/run.sh setup (along with everything else). It does a dump of the MySQL database and captures the whole directory -- which includes var/media -- the uploads.

See the section backup on the general Server setup page.

Mailing list integration

Mailing lists are ran by a third party - sympalists.net. The integration via their newly fangled "Sympa" web service -- See Sympa mailing list setup for details.

Query to find duplicates in the subscriptions:

SELECT * 
FROM mailinglists_subscription 
WHERE id NOT IN (
    SELECT MAX(id) 
    FROM mailinglists_subscription 
    GROUP BY mailinglist_id, member_id
);
