This app is a Rails app for Open OnDemand that serves as a gateway to launching other Open OnDemand apps. Like all Open OnDemand apps, it's meant to runs as a non-root user.
This is a guide to developing the dashboard.
This documentation assumes you have development enabled for yourself. Containers built in the development documentation have development enabled automatically.
First, you'll need to clone this repo and make a symlink.
mkdir -p ~/ondemand/dev
git clone https://github.com/OSC/ondemand.git ~/ondemand/src
cd ~/ondemand/dev
ln -s ../src/apps/dashboard
Open OnDemand sees all of the apps in ~/ondemand/dev
and the
dashboard is just like any other!
Prerequisites to building are ruby 2.5 and nodejs 12. You'll also need gcc and g++ to build gems and node packages. Getting these available on your systems is left to the reader.
They are available on the webnode based off of RPM/deb package dependencies.
However, you may choose to have a different development runtime, and that's fine.
OSC maintainers use modules
on compute nodes instead of developing on the webnodes
themselves.
It should be noted here that any Ruby module installation needs configured with
--enable-shared
flag to be compatible with the Ruby running on the webnode.
Now run bin/setup
from within this directory to fetch all the dependencies
and compile.
# advanced users may not need to configure bundle. Container users must do this.
bin/bundle config path --local vendor/bundle
bin/setup
Now you should be able to navigate to /pun/dev/dashboard
and see the app
in the developer views.
Since we migrated to esbuild
assets are no longer built automatically. If you are
editing any css, javascript or images during development, you may find the
helper script bin/recompile_js
useful to run the asset pipeline for your changes
to become available to the app.
Now you can refer to the documentation on customizing
and make those changes to a .env.local
file in the same directory as
this README.md.
Refer to the configuration class to see every option available.
Here's the user Annie Oakley's .env.local
file to get you started.
