8 8 RhodeCode Enterprise runs inside a Nix managed environment. This ensures build
9 9 environment dependencies are correctly declared and installed during setup.
10 10 It also enables atomic upgrades, rollbacks, and multiple instances of RhodeCode
11 11 Enterprise running with isolation.
12 12
13 13 To set up RhodeCode Enterprise inside the Nix environment, use the following steps:
14 14
15 15
16 16
17 17 Setup Nix Package Manager
18 18 -------------------------
19 19
20 20 To install the Nix Package Manager, please run::
21 21
22 22 $ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
23 23
24 24 or go to https://nixos.org/nix/ and follow the installation instructions.
25 25 Once this is correctly set up on your system, you should be able to use the
26 26 following commands:
27 27
28 28 * `nix-env`
29 29
30 30 * `nix-shell`
31 31

35 35 Update your channels frequently by running ``nix-channel --update``.
36 36

38 38 Switch nix to the latest STABLE channel
39 39 ---------------------------------------
40 40
41 41 run::
42 42
43 43 nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03 nixpkgs

50 50 Install required binaries
51 51 -------------------------
52 52
53 53 We need some handy tools first.
54 54
55 55 run::
56 56
57 57 nix-env -i nix-prefetch-hg
58 58 nix-env -i nix-prefetch-git

61 61 Clone the required repositories
62 62 -------------------------------
63 63
64 64 After Nix is set up, clone the RhodeCode Enterprise Community Edition and
65 65 RhodeCode VCSServer repositories into the same directory.
66 66 RhodeCode currently is using Mercurial Version Control System, please make sure
67 67 you have it installed before continuing.
68 68

70 70
71 71 mkdir rhodecode-develop && cd rhodecode-develop
72 72 hg clone https://code.rhodecode.com/rhodecode-enterprise-ce
73 73 hg clone https://code.rhodecode.com/rhodecode-vcsserver

75 75 .. note::
76 76
77 77 If you cannot clone the repository, please contact us via support@rhodecode.com

80 80 Install some required libraries
81 81 -------------------------------
82 82
83 There are some required drivers that we need to install to test RhodeCode
84 under different types of databases. For example in Ubuntu we need to install
85 the following.
83 There are some required drivers and dev libraries that we need to install to
84 test RhodeCode under different types of databases. For example in Ubuntu we
85 need to install the following.
86 86
87 87 required libraries::
88 88
89 89 sudo apt-get install libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev
90 90 sudo apt-get install libsvn-dev
91 91 sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev
92 92 sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
93 93 sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
94 94
95 95
96 96 Enter the Development Shell
97 97 ---------------------------
98 98
99 99 The final step is to start the development shells. To do this, run the
100 100 following command from inside the cloned repository::
101 101
102 102 #first, the vcsserver
103 103 cd ~/rhodecode-vcsserver
104 104 nix-shell
105 105
106 106 # then enterprise sources
107 107 cd ~/rhodecode-enterprise-ce
108 108 nix-shell
109 109
110 110 .. note::
111 111
112 112 On the first run, this will take a while to download and optionally compile
113 113 a few things. The following runs will be faster. The development shell works
114 114 fine on both MacOS and Linux platforms.
115 115
116 116
117 117 Create config.nix for development
118 118 ---------------------------------
119 119
120 120 In order to run proper tests and setup linking across projects, a config.nix
121 121 file needs to be setup::
122 122
123 123 # create config
124 124 mkdir -p ~/.nixpkgs
125 125 touch ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
126 126
127 127 # put the below content into the ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix file
128 128 # adjusts, the path to where you cloned your repositories.
129 129
130 130 {
131 131 rc = {
132 132 sources = {
133 133 rhodecode-vcsserver = "/home/dev/rhodecode-vcsserver";
134 134 rhodecode-enterprise-ce = "/home/dev/rhodecode-enterprise-ce";
135 135 rhodecode-enterprise-ee = "/home/dev/rhodecode-enterprise-ee";
136 136 };
137 137 };
138 138 }
139 139
140 140
141 141
142 142 Creating a Development Configuration
143 143 ------------------------------------
144 144
145 145 To create a development environment for RhodeCode Enterprise,
146 146 use the following steps:
147 147
148 148 1. Create a copy of vcsserver config:
149 149 `cp ~/rhodecode-vcsserver/configs/development.ini ~/rhodecode-vcsserver/configs/dev.ini`
150 150 2. Create a copy of rhodocode config:
151 151 `cp ~/rhodecode-enterprise-ce/configs/development.ini ~/rhodecode-enterprise-ce/configs/dev.ini`
152 152 3. Adjust the configuration settings to your needs if needed.
153 153
154 154 .. note::
155 155
156 156 It is recommended to use the name `dev.ini` since it's included in .hgignore file.
157 157
158 158
159 159 Setup the Development Database
160 160 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
161 161
162 162 To create a development database, use the following example. This is a one
163 163 time operation executed from the nix-shell of rhodecode-enterprise-ce sources ::
164 164
165 165 paster setup-rhodecode dev.ini \
166 166 --user=admin --password=secret \
167 167 --email=admin@example.com \
168 168 --repos=~/my_dev_repos
169 169
170 170
171 171 Compile CSS and JavaScript
172 172 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
173 173
174 174 To use the application's frontend and prepare it for production deployment,
175 175 you will need to compile the CSS and JavaScript with Grunt.
176 176 This is easily done from within the nix-shell using the following command::
177 177
178 178 grunt
179 179
180 180 When developing new features you will need to recompile following any
181 181 changes made to the CSS or JavaScript files when developing the code::
182 182
183 183 grunt watch
184 184
185 185 This prepares the development (with comments/whitespace) versions of files.
186 186
187 187 Start the Development Servers
188 188 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
189 189
190 190 From the rhodecode-vcsserver directory, start the development server in another
191 191 nix-shell, using the following command::
192 192
193 193 pserve configs/dev.ini
194 194
195 195 In the adjacent nix-shell which you created for your development server, you may
196 196 now start CE with the following command::
197 197
198 198
199 199 pserve --reload configs/dev.ini
200 200
201 201 .. note::
202 202
203 203 `--reload` flag will automatically reload the server when source file changes.
204 204
205 205
206 206 Run the Environment Tests
207 207 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
208 208
209 209 Please make sure that the tests are passing to verify that your environment is
210 210 set up correctly. RhodeCode uses py.test to run tests.
211 211 While your instance is running, start a new nix-shell and simply run
212 212 ``make test`` to run the basic test suite.
