About

EVE Armada is a website to explore the eve universe and your characters, corporations and alliances.

Installation

To setup armada, you will need the following:

• git
• virtualenv
• python 2.7
• pip
• postgresql (with devel package)
• rabbitmq

Install the respective packages, create a database named armada and make sure your user has access to that.

Virtualenv

Setup a virtualenv to run armada:

mkdir eve-armada
cd eve-armada
virtualenv env

Clone eve-aramada from github.

git clone git://github.com/kriberg/eve-armada.git

Install requirements

Activate the virtualenv and install eve-armada python requirements.

source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

local_settings.py

Setup your local_settings.py with your database configuration, celery broker configuration, media root, smtp settings etc.

Install eve SDE

Grab one of the postgresql eve SDE conversions from http://zofu.no-ip.de/ and import it into the database you created. The reloaddb script is only intended for development environments, as it will scratch your entire database when run. Import the dump will probably take quite a while. The script will also create the file eve_table_names.txt, which will be used to generate models for the SDE tables.

cd data
wget http://zofu.no-ip.de/inf12/inf12-pgsql-v1-unquoted-compatible.sql.bz2
bunzip2 inf12-pgsql-v1-unquoted-compatible.sql.bz2
./reloaddb.sh inf12-pgsql-v1-unquoted-compatible.sql
cd ..

Generate SDE models

After loading the eve static data export, we generate the django models for the dump and put those in eve/ccpmodels.py.

python manage.py generateevemodels data/eve_table_names.txt > armada/eve/ccpmodels.py

Fix compound keys

The SDE uses compound primary keys for some tables, which django in turn doesn't support. For these, we will need to add single-column primary keys. The generateevemodels management command will detect these tables and add some sql, for you to run, at the end of eve/ccpmodels.py. Copypaste that into a psql prompt to create the needed columns.

Syncdb

Run syncdb to create the remaining tables.

python manage.py syncdb

Starting the dev servers

If everything is in order, you should now be able to start the dev server and the celery demon and the python-smtpd loopback in separate terminals

python manage.py runserver
python manage.py celeryd -l info
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Point your browser to http://localhost:8000/ and register a new user, add api keys and add some pilots
