openup-ckan

Dokku Dockerfile-based deployment repository for CKAN for OpenUp's data portal

Development

Initialise the database

docker compose run --rm web paster --plugin=ckan db init -c ckan.ini

Deployment

Set CKAN environment variables, replacing these examples with actual producation ones

• REDIS_URL: use the Redis Dsn
• SOLR_URL: use the alias given for the docker link below
• BEAKER_SESSION_SECRET: this must be a secret long random string. Each time it changes it invalidates any active sessions.
• S3FILESTORE__SIGNATURE_VERSION: use as-is - no idea why the plugin requires this.
