|

## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To try out a temporary instance of Reimbursinator using the Docker configuration present in the repository, follow the instructions on the [Docker Deployment wiki page](https://github.com/danieldupriest/reimbursinator/wiki/Docker-Deployment).
|
||||
|
||||
To install a production version of Reimbursinator you will need to configure servers for:
|
||||
- Serving front-end html files (e.g. Nginx)
|
||||
- Running the Django backend (e.g. Gunicorn)
|
||||
- (optional) Serving Django admin CSS/JS. (e.g. Nginx)
|
||||
|
||||
### Front End
|
||||
|
||||
Serve the content of `front/static/` using the http server of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
### Back End
|
||||
|
||||
#### Django settings
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the `back/reimbursinator/settings.py` file and change the following lines to match the correct IP or domain name.
|
||||
|
||||
- `ALLOWED_HOSTS` - This tells Django which front end addresses should be served. It should include the address of the server providing the content of `front/`.
|
||||
- `CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST` - This tells Django which front end addresses to provide CORS headers for. Include the same information here. (include port if necessary)
|
||||
- `STATIC_URL` - This tells Django where admin css/js will be served from.
|
||||
- `LOGIN_URL` and `LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL` - These should point to your front page, including port if necessary. e.g. `https://192.168.99.100:8443`
|
||||
|
||||
Also replace the `SECRET_KEY` value with your own and set `DEBUG` to False.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Email settings
|
||||
|
||||
The project is configured to use a gmail account as the system SMTP server. The configuration settings for this are stored in the `back/.env` file. If you will be using a gmail account in this way, you may replace the file's contents with your own settings.
|
||||
|
||||
If you will use your own SMTP server, it may be best to forego the .env file and edit the Django email settings in `back/reimbursinator/settings.py` directly.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Server environment
|
||||
|
||||
To use `pipenv` to run Reimbursinator with the versions defined in the project:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure `pipenv` is installed. (`pip install pipenv`)
|
||||
2. In the `back/` directory, run `pipenv install`. This only needs to be done once.
|
||||
3. Run `pipenv shell`.
|
||||
|
||||
Serve the contents of `back/` using a Python WSGI server. For example, in the case of gunicorn running on port 444, and assuming your site's SSL certificates are in `/etc/ssl/private/`:
|
||||
|
||||
`gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:444 --keyfile /etc/ssl/private/certificate.key --certfile /etc/ssl/private/certificate.crt reimbursinator.wsgi:application`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Admin access
|
||||
|
||||
Once the server is up and running, log in to `https://backendaddress.com:port/admin/` using the username `admin` and password `admin`, then change the administrative password using the "change password" link.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the "Sites" view, and edit the one existing site's name to match your server name. This will be used in system emails.
|
||||
|
||||
### Admin Files
|
||||
|
||||
In order to have CSS and JS working in the Django administrative pages, serve the contents of `admin/static` using the http server of your choice, and edit `back/reimbursinator/settings.py` to set the `STATIC_URL` address to the correct address to access these files.
