3 After [installing](INSTALL.md) this software, you may need to carry out some of these configuration steps, depending on your tasks.
5 ## Application configuration
7 Many settings are available in `config/settings.yml`. You can customize your installation of The Rails Port by overriding these values using `config/settings.local.yml`
9 ## Populating the database
11 Your installation comes with no geographic data loaded. You can either create new data using one of the editors (iD, JOSM etc) or by loading an OSM extract.
13 After installing but before creating any users or data, import an extract with [Osmosis](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [``--write-apidb``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.
16 osmosis --read-pbf greater-london-latest.osm.pbf \
17 --write-apidb host="localhost" database="openstreetmap" \
18 user="openstreetmap" password="" validateSchemaVersion="no"
21 Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database. [``--log-progress``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates.
23 To be able to edit the data you have loaded, you will need to use this [yet-to-be-written script](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/282).
27 If you create a user by signing up to your local website, you need to confirm the user before you can log in, which normally happens by clicking a link sent via email. If don't want to set up your development box to send emails to public email addresses then you can create the user as normal and then confirm it manually through the Rails console:
30 $ bundle exec rails console
31 >> user = User.find_by(:display_name => "My New User Name")
38 ### Giving Administrator/Moderator Permissions
40 To give administrator or moderator permissions:
43 $ bundle exec rails console
44 >> user = User.find_by(:display_name => "My New User Name")
46 >> user.roles.create(:role => "administrator", :granter_id => user.id)
48 >> user.roles.create(:role => "moderator", :granter_id => user.id)
55 ## OAuth Consumer Keys
57 There are two built-in applications which communicate via the API, and therefore need OAuth consumer keys configured. These are:
60 * The website itself (for the Notes functionality)
62 To use the iD editor you need to register it as an OAuth 1 application.
65 * Log into your Rails Port instance - e.g. http://localhost:3000
66 * Click on your user name to go to your user page
67 * Click on "my settings" on the user page
68 * Click on "OAuth 1 settings" on the My settings page
69 * Click on 'Register your application'.
70 * Unless you have set up alternatives, use Name: "Local iD" and Main Application URL: "http://localhost:3000"
71 * Check boxes for the following Permissions
72 * 'read their user preferences'
74 * 'read their private GPS traces'
76 * Everything else can be left with the default blank values.
77 * Click the "Register" button
78 * On the next page, copy the "consumer key"
79 * Edit config/settings.local.yml in your rails tree
80 * Add the "id_key" configuration key and the consumer key as the value
81 * Restart your rails server
83 An example excerpt from settings.local.yml:
88 # OAuth 1 consumer key for iD
89 id_key: "8lFmZPsagHV4l3rkAHq0hWY5vV3Ctl3oEFY1aXth"
92 To allow [Notes](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes) and changeset discussions to work, follow a similar process, this time registering an OAuth 2 application for the web site:
94 * Go to "[OAuth 2 applications](http://localhost:3000/oauth2/applications)" on the My settings page.
95 * Click on "Register new application".
96 * Use Name: "OpenStreetMap Web Site" and Redirect URIs: "http://localhost:3000"
97 * Check boxes for the following Permissions
100 * On the next page, copy the "Client Secret" and "Client ID"
101 * Edit config/settings.local.yml in your rails tree
102 * Add the "oauth_application" configuration with the "Client ID" as the value
103 * Add the "oauth_key" configuration with the "Client Secret" as the value
104 * Restart your rails server
106 An example excerpt from settings.local.yml:
109 # OAuth 2 Client ID for the web site
110 oauth_application: "SGm8QJ6tmoPXEaUPIZzLUmm1iujltYZVWCp9hvGsqXg"
111 # OAuth 2 Client Secret for the web site
112 oauth_key: "eRHPm4GtEnw9ovB1Iw7EcCLGtUb66bXbAAspv3aJxlI"
117 Rails has its own log. To inspect the log, do this:
120 tail -f log/development.log
123 If you have more problems, please ask on the [rails-dev@openstreetmap.org mailing list](https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev) or on the [#osm-dev IRC Channel](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC)
125 ## Maintaining your installation
127 If your installation stops working for some reason:
129 * Sometimes gem dependencies change. To update go to your rails_port directory and run ''bundle install'' as root.
131 * The OSM database schema is changed periodically and you need to keep up with these improvements. Go to your rails_port directory and run:
134 bundle exec rake db:migrate
137 ## Testing on the osm dev server
139 For example, after developing a patch for the rails_port, you might want to demonstrate it to others or ask for comments and testing. To do this one can [set up an instance of the rails_port on the dev server in ones user directory](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_the_dev_server#Rails_Applications).

145 # Production Deployment
147 If you want to deploy The Rails Port for production use, you'll need to make a few changes.
149 * It's not recommended to use `rails server` in production. Our recommended approach is to use [Phusion Passenger](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/). Instructions are available for [setting it up with most web servers](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation_and_support#documentation).
150 * Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts.
151 * Your production database will also need the extensions and functions installed - see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
152 * The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
153 * Make sure you generate the i18n files and precompile the production assets: `RAILS_ENV=production rake i18n:js:export assets:precompile`
154 * Make sure the web server user as well as the rails user can read, write and create directories in `tmp/`.
155 * If you expect to serve a lot of `/changes` API calls, then you might also want to install the shared library versions of the SQL functions.
