Description
The current docs show nicely how to set up a dev environment, however it is not clear how to set up the thing in a non-dev way (I guess that is the "deployment" docs, right?) Here are some things to consider when writing this. I got it up and running in Ubuntu Maverick in a non-dev way. I had to install some things with "pip" and used the distribution packages whenever possible. So stuff that needs documentation: paster running on port 80 is not possible without having the whole thing running as root. Which will then require to also have celeryd running as root, as it needs to delete files that paster put there. I solved this in a very hackish way with "Capabilities" on Linux. Downside is, I had to grant /usr/bin/python the permission to access ports <1024. I achieved this with :: sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/python2.6 (not saying we should recommend that to anyone. I guess we will propose to run this as a local user on a nonpriviledged port and proxy it through nginx or so. Anyway, it runs beautiful as www-data on my server now.

Some more random notes on how I got it to run with nginx & fcgi & flup rather than paster: Assume mediagoblin checkout in /home/spaetz/src/mediagoblin Install python-flup. Put index.py into /var/www/mediagoblin/index.py 1. Have mongodb started 2. start celeryd: sudo -u www-data CELERY\_CONFIG\_MODULE=mediagoblin.celery\_setup.from\_celery celeryd 3. Start mediagoblin as fcgi: "sudo -u www-data spawn-fcgi index.py -p 8000" (use -n for not backgrounding so you can ctrl-c it) 4. Start nginx forwarding fcgi from port 8000: (will attache site config) Works...

This waters down to "write documentation on how to deploy mediagoblin". That's something we should have in the manual for 0.1.0. Given that, I'm assigning to Sam and re-targeting. Sam: You probably want to get help from Chris and whoever else Chris thinks would help out.

When we suggest how to do deployments, I'd actually like to do Virtualenv rather than buildout as we're doing it now. (btw, the OpenHatch people have been changing to do that for both deployment and development.... might be a good idea for us to follow that lead...)

Marking this as closed, as we basically got this happening in deployment documentation in the sphinx docs. Future work on this should happen in `#567 </issues/567>`_
