Running the stack

For development / testing with Docker

Dory

On OS X or Linux we recommend running Dory. It acts as a proxy allowing you to access domains locally such as hyku.test or tenant.hyku.test, making multitenant development more straightforward and prevents the need to bind ports locally. Be sure to adjust your ~/.dory.yml file to support the .test tld. You can still run in development via docker with out Dory. To do so, copy docker-compose.override-nodory.yml to docker-compose.override.yml before starting doing docker-compose up. You can then see the application t the loopback domain 'lvh.me:3000'.

gem install dory
dory up

Basic steps

docker-compose up web

This command starts the whole stack in individual containers allowing Rails to be started or stopped independent of the other services. Once that starts (you'll see the line Passenger core running in multi-application mode. or Listening on tcp://0.0.0.0:3000 to indicate a successful boot), you can view your app in a web browser at either hyku.test or localhost:3000 (see above). When done docker-compose stop shuts down everything.

File Permissions

If you have file permission issues, it is likely that your docker set up does not translate the user id and group id of mounted directories. If this is the case you can set CONTAINER_UID and CONTAINER_GID environment variables to your local user and then restart your containers. We recommend setting these in your .bashrc or .zshrc so that they persist.

$ docker compose up web
> can not write db/schema.rb, ENOPERM
> initialize_app failed

# edit .bashrc or .zshrc and add
#   export CONTAINER_UID=$(id -u)
#   export CONTAINER_GID=$(id -g)
# don't forget to close and reopen your shell

$ docker compose down -v
# make sure everything is removed

$ docker compose up web

Troubleshooting on Windows

  1. Dory is running but you're unable to access hyku.test:

    • Run this in the terminal: ip addr | grep eth0 | grep inet
    • Copy the first IP address from the result in your terminal
    • Use the steps under "Change the File Manually" at this link to open your host file
    • At the bottom of the host file add this line: <your-ip-address> hyku.test
    • Save (You may or may not need to restart your server)
  2. When creating a work and adding a file, you get an internal server error due to ownership/permissions issues of the tmp directory:

    • Gain root access to the container (in a slightly hacky way, check_volumes container runs from root): docker compose run check_volumes bash
    • Change ownership to app: chown -R app:app /app/samvera/hyrax-webapp

Tests in Docker

The full spec suite can be run in docker locally. There are several ways to do this, but one way is to run the following:

docker-compose exec web rake

With out Docker

Please note that this is unused by most contributors at this point and will likely become unsupported in a future release of Hyku unless someone in the community steps up to maintain it.

For development

solr_wrapper
fcrepo_wrapper
postgres -D ./db/postgres
redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
bin/setup
DISABLE_REDIS_CLUSTER=true bundle exec sidekiq
DISABLE_REDIS_CLUSTER=true bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0

For testing

See the Hyku Development Guide for how to run tests.

Working with Translations

You can log all of the I18n lookups to the Rails logger by setting the I18N_DEBUG environment variable to true. This will add a lot of chatter to the Rails logger (but can be very helpful to zero in on what I18n key you should or could use).

$ I18N_DEBUG=true bin/rails server

On AWS

AWS CloudFormation templates for the Hyku stack are available in a separate repository:

https://github.com/hybox/aws

With Docker

We distribute two docker-compose.yml configuration files. The first is set up for development / running the specs. The other, docker-compose.production.yml is for running the Hyku stack in a production setting. . Once you have docker installed and running, launch the stack using e.g.:

docker-compose up -d web

Note: You may need to add your user to the "docker" group.

newgrp docker

With Vagrant

The samvera-vagrant project provides another simple way to get started "kicking the tires" of Hyku (and Hyrax), making it easy and quick to spin up Hyku. (Note that this is not for production or production-like installations.) It requires VirtualBox and Vagrant.

With Kubernetes

Hyku relies on the helm charts provided by Hyrax. See Deployment Info for more information. We also provide a basic helm deployment script. Hyku currently needs some additional volumes and ENV vars over the base Hyrax. See (ops/review-deploy.tmpl.yaml) for an example of what that might look like.

Single Tenant Mode

Much of the default configuration in Hyku is set up to use multi-tenant mode. This default mode allows Hyku users to run the equivielent of multiple Hyrax installs on a single set of resources. However, sometimes the subdomain splitting multi-headed complexity is simply not needed. If this is the case, then single tenant mode is for you. Single tenant mode will not show the tenant sign up page, or any of the tenant management screens. Instead it shows a single Samvera instance at what ever domain is pointed at the application.

To enable single tenant, set HYKU_MULTITENANT=false in your docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.production.yml configs. After changinig this setting, run rails db:seed to prepopulate the single tenant.

In single tenant mode, both the application root (eg. localhost, or hyku.test) and the tenant url single.* (eg. single.hyku.test) will load the tenant. Override the root host by setting HYKU_ROOT_HOST`.

To change from single- to multi-tenant mode, change the multitenancy/enabled flag to true and restart the application. Change the 'single' tenant account cname in the Accounts edit interface to the correct hostname.

Switching accounts

There are three recommend ways to switch your current session from one account to another by using:

switch!(Account.first)
# or
switch!('my.site.com')
# or
switch!('myaccount')

Analytics Feature

Hyku currently only supports the configuration of one Google Analytics account for the basic functionality of this feature. Hyku currently only support Google Analytics with the Universal Analytics property for this feature.

Note: Google has announced they will stop processing data using the Universal Analytics property on July 1, 2023 or July 1, 2024 for Analytics 360 properties.

To enable analytics tracking and reporting features within Hyku, please follow the directions below.

Setup a Google Analytics Account

Set the Environment Variables

In Hyku there are a few areas to set the environment variables needed for each of your environments development/staging/prodeuction/etc.

  • Uncomment the config/analytics.yml file where the below mentioned environment variables will connect to our application.
analytics:
  google:
    analytics_id: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID'] %>
    app_name: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_NAME'] %>
    app_version: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_VERSION'] %>
    privkey_path: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH'] %>
    privkey_secret: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_SECRET'] %>
    client_email: <%= ENV['GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_EMAIL'] %>
  • For local development please see the .env file and see the "Enable Google Analytics" section.
##START## Enable Google Analytics
# Uncomment to enable and configure Google Analytics, see README for instructions.
HYRAX_ANALYTICS=true
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=UA-123456-12
GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_NAME=hyku-demo
GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_VERSION=1.0
GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_SECRET=not-a-secret
GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=prod-cred.p12
GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_EMAIL=set-me@email.com

# AND comment this out
# HYRAX_ANALYTICS=false
##END## Enable Google Analytics
  • For deployment to staging/production please update/add the variables and values to the helm values files located in the ops directory (example: staging-deploy.tmpl.yaml).
  - name: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID
    value: $GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID # Set in GitHub's Environment Secrets
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_NAME
    value: hyku-demo
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_APP_VERSION
    value: '1.0'
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_SECRET
    value: $GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_SECRET # Set in GitHub's Environment Secrets
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH
    value: prod-cred.p12 # The p12 file is in root and named `prod-cred.p12`
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_VALUE
    value: $GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_VALUE # Set in GitHub's Environment Secrets
  - name: GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_EMAIL
    value: set-me@email.com
  - name: HYRAX_ANALYTICS
    value: 'true'

To get the GOOGLE_OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_VALUE value to set the variable in GitHub's Environment Secrets, you need the path to the p12 file you got from setting up your Google Service Account and run the following in your console locally.

base64 -i path/to/file.p12 | pbcopy

Once you run this script the value is on your local computers clipboard. You will need to paste this into GitHubs Environment Secrets or however you/your organization are handling secrets.
