Unix-ish Developer Required Software

Required software

NOTE: Before reading the following instructions you may want to consider installing the web site as a Docker container. See the instructions below.

Make a fork and clone the git repository for bioconductor.org and create a new branch to make your changes, (helpful documentation for Creating a pull request from a fork)
```
git clone https://github.com/<your fork>/bioconductor.org
```

Build a docker image by navigating to the right directory and running this command

docker build -t <image_name> .

where,

<image_name> is the name you want to give to the docker image.
it can be whatever you want. You will need to use it later
but is only seen and used by you.

Run the docker container before making any changes, you need to use the docker image name <image_name> that you assigned previously to be able to run the container. The container has the dependencies installed to rake the ruby code and host the website on your local machine at https://localhost:3000.

docker run -it -p 3000:3000 \
    -v /<full_path>/bioconductor.org:/opt/bioconductor.org \
        --name <container_name> \
            <image_name> /bin/bash

where,

-it will take you straight to the container

-p is mapping the container's port 3000 to the host machine's port

-v mounting a volume, the website (bioconductor.org) directory
from your local machine is being mounted on the docker container

<container_name> is the name you want to give to the docker container.
It will be easier to access the container later if you give it a name

the command will take you to the container's terminal so you will need to run

rake

and

cd output
adsf

Make your changes on this branch, add content or edit content.
Once the changes are made and you want to be able to see them on https://localhost:3000, there are two ways to be able to run rake:

by running rake inside the docker container shell making sure you are in the /opt/bioconductor.org directory.

or,

without needing to access the docker shell but you will need either the container name or CONTAINER ID, you can run
```
 docker ps
```
and,
```
 docker exec <container_id / container_name> rake
```
Then to stop the process, you need to get the container name or CONTAINER ID with,
```
docker ps
```
and,
```
docker stop <container_id / container_name>
```
If you wish to completely remove the container from your docker once you stopped it, you can run
```
docker rm <container_id / container_name>
```
Once you have reviewed your changes, make a new branch and send a pull

request to the devel branch. The pull request should be made from your my_changes branch to the devel branch on GitHub.

Ruby

The site requires ruby 2.2.2 or newer.

There are numerous issues on various platforms when attempting to install appropriate versions of ruby and the necessary ruby packages. The simplest way around all of this is to use rbenv, which allows you to switch between various ruby versions and avoids conflicts between them. NOTE: rbenv works on Unix only; if you are on Windows, skip to the Windows section.

On ubuntu, before proceeding, make sure the libsqlite3-dev package is installed (sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev).

The following instructions are adapted from the rbenv page. It's worth reading this to understand how rbenv works.

Important note: Never use sudo when working with a ruby that has been installed by rbenv. rbenv installs everything in your home directory so you should never need to become root or fiddle with permissions.

Make sure you do not have rvm installed. which rvm should not return anything. If you do have it installed, refer to this page for instructions on removing it.

Check out rbenv into ~/.rbenv.

$ git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv

Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility.
```
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
Ubuntu Desktop note: Modify your ~/.bashrc instead of ~/.bash_profile.

Zsh note: Modify your ~/.zshrc file instead of ~/.bash_profile.
Add rbenv init to your shell to enable shims and autocompletion.
```
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
Same as in previous step, use ~/.bashrc on Ubuntu, or ~/.zshrc for Zsh.
Restart your shell so that PATH changes take effect. (Opening a new terminal tab will usually do it.) Now check if rbenv was set up:
```
$ type rbenv
#=> "rbenv is a function"
```
Install ruby-build, which provides the rbenv install command that simplifies the process of installing new Ruby versions:
```
```sh
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
```
```

Now you need to install ruby. Go to the Ruby Downloads Page to find out what the current stable version is. As of 3/06/2020 it is 2.7.0 however that particular version still had issues with modules, so I will use 2.6.5 the current stable version we use for the website in further examples, but substitute the current stable version for 2.6.5 if you wish to use or test a different version.

To install this version of ruby in rbenv, type

rbenv install 2.6.5

Then, to make this the version of ruby that you will use, type:

rbenv global 2.6.5

If you want to use different versions of ruby in different contexts, read the rbenv page for more information.

Windows Developer Required Software

Download and run the one-click ruby installer http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/. Accept all default settings.
Also download and install the Development Kit from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/. Be sure and add the bin dir to your path (see devkitvars.bat)
If you don't already have it, be sure and install cygwin and explicitly install rsync. rsync is required for parts of the web site to work.
Install git client. https://git-scm.com/downloads
Follow the developer setup instructions below.

Developer Setup

Checkout the bioconductor.org codebase and set up upstream remote

git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor/bioconductor.org
git remote add upstream git@git.bioconductor.org:admin/bioconductor.org

Installing Necessary Ruby Packages

Ruby packages are called gems and gem is the program used to install them.

To save time, ensure your ~/.gemrc file contains the text

gem: --no-document

This will ensure that gem does not try to install documentation files that you will not use.

The web site comes with a Gemfile which is similar to an R package DESCRIPTION file in that it lists all dependencies needed. Gemfiles are read by the bundler gem, so install that as follows, prepending sudo if necessary (remember, don't use sudo if your ruby was installed with rbenv:

cd bioconductor.org
gem install bundler

Then, assuming you are in the bioconductor.org working copy, issue this command to install all dependencies, again prepending sudo if necessary:

bundle install

Build the site

cd bioconductor.org # if you aren't already in the working copy
rake

One step in the build process runs 'nanoc', "a Ruby web publishing system
for building small to medium-sized websites"; it is one of the gems you installed above. If you ever need to run nanoc explicitly:

nanoc compile

To run an abbreviated compile, which does not attempt to build all package pages:

QUICK_NANOC_COMPILE=true nanoc co

Whether run by hand or by rake, the compiled html files are all found in and below output/, an immediate subdirectory of the bioconductor.org/ directory you have been working in.

Start the built-in development server, 'adsf' "A dead-simple file" server:

cd output
adsf

Test in a browser by going to http://localhost:3000/

Linters

You will require node and npm to install the linters. Installation instructions for your specific OS can be found on the node.js website:

https://nodejs.org/en/download

Or if you would like to use your package manager to install, you can find instructions here:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager

Install linters: npm ci

This project includes liners for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and markdown files. instructions for each To run all linters you can use the command npm run lint For each linter here are the options available:

stylelint (CSS):
- npm run lint-css <(optional)directory/file> (default directory is current working directory)
eslint (JavaScript):
- npm run lint-js <(optional)directory/file> (default directory is current working directory)
htmllint (HTML)
- npm run lint-html <(optional)directory/file> (default directory is current working directory)
markdownLint (Markdown)
- npm run lint-md <(required)directory/file>

Overview of site source code

README.md :: You are reading this file or a file generated from this file.
Rakefile :: A Rakefile is to rake as a Makefile is to make. You can see the available targets by running rake -T in the directory containing Rakefile.
Rules :: This is a Ruby syntax file that describes how site content is transformed from its source form into its output form (this is called filtering), what layout to use (layouts are the shared templates), and where to write the output (this is called routing). See the nanoc tutorial and the manual for details.
assets :: This directory is not managed by nanoc. It contains files that do not undergo any filtering, layout-ing, or routing. Contents of the assets directory are copied to the output directory using rsync.
config.yaml :: Nanoc configuration file for the bioconductor.org site. This file is written in YAML.

content :: This is where the bulk of the raw (source form) site content lives. Important details:

      - Each page has two related files:
          a `.yaml` file containing item attributes and
          a `.<extension>` file containing the raw source content
          this can be `.md` or `.html`.

      - The default behavior is that a content file like
         `install.md` is filtered into HTML and then written to
         `output/install/index.html`. This scheme allows for
          clean URLs that avoid having a file extension.

      - Folders like `about` living inside content have their own default
          `index` files within.

layouts :: This is where the content templates live. Important details:

      - Files that live directly inside the layout folder are the
          layouts, the content blocks would live inside /component

lib :: Ruby helper functions and nanoc extensions live here. Files in this directory are automatically loaded by nanoc during site processing.
migration :: Documentation and scripts used in the process of migrating the bioconductor.org site from Plone to nanoc.
output :: This directory is created when you compile the bioconductor.org site using nanoc. It contains the final static HTML and other assets. Deploying the site means pushing out an update of the contents of output to the live server.
scripts :: Helper scripts for managing the site live here.

How to add a page

How to add event

You will use a helper scripts ./scripts/add_event to add event to the site using the following steps:

Always run ./scripts/add_event from the top-level of your website working copy
Run ./scripts/add_event EVENT_NAME This will create an EVENT_NAME.yaml file in the ./content/help/events/ directory

The default EVENT_NAME.yaml file will look like this:

title: TITLE FOR EVENT_NAME
location: Seattle, WA, USA
event_host: FHCRC
start: 2010-06-29
end:   2010-06-29
link:
    text: details and registration
    url: https://secure.bioconductor.org/EVENT_NAME

Edit the EVENT_NAME.yaml file
Use git to commit changes and additions by add_event

How to add course material

You will use a helper script ./scripts/course_mgr to add course material to the site. PDF files for labs and presentations as well as course-specific packages and data are not stored in git. The index pages that describe the course and provide links to the materials are stored in git. The course_mgr script will help with index file creation and data transfer.

`course_mgr` workflow and important tips

To add a course, you will typically perform the following steps (each described in detail below):

Always run ./scripts/course_mgr from the top-level of your website working copy.
Run ./scripts/course_mgr --create COURSE_NAME
Run ./scripts/course_mgr --index COURSE_NAME
Build and preview site
Run ./scripts/course_mgr --push COURSE_NAME
Use git to commit changes and additions made by course_mgr

Using `course_mgr`

Generate a skeleton course directory structure.

 ./scripts/course_mgr --create seattle-intro

This will create a seattle-intro/ directory in the top-level of your website working copy -- do not add this directory or any files within it to git. Inside will be a course_config.yaml file that will look like this:

  title:
    The title of the course goes here
  start_date: 2010-01-27
  end_date: 2010-01-29
  instructors: ["Someone", "Another"]
  location: "Seattle, USA"
  url: https://secure.bioconductor.org/SeattleJan10/
  tags: ["intro", "seattle", "package"]
  description:
    You can put some description text here.
    Must be indented.

Put course materials as files and directories into the skeleton directory. For example, you might end up with a directory like that shown below with two subdirectories, packages and presentation-slides, each containing course materials.

  seattle-intro
  |-- course_config.yaml
  |-- packages
  |   |-- day1_0.0.1.tar.gz
  |   |-- day2_0.0.1.tar.gz
  |   `-- day3_0.0.1.tar.gz
  `-- presentation-slides
      |-- First-steps-presentation.pdf
      |-- Microarray-presentation.pdf
      |-- annotation-presentation.pdf
      `-- sequence-presentation.pdf

Now you are ready to create the index files.

   ./scripts/course_mgr --index seattle-intro
   CREATED: content/help/course-notes/2010/01/seattle-intro.(html|yaml)
   COPIED for preview:
     src: ./seattle-intro/*
     dst: output/help/course-notes/2010/01/seattle-intro/
   NEXT STEPS:
   - preview site with 'rake devserver'
     - Use URL: http://localhost:3000/help/course-materials/2010/seattle-intro/
     - edit CREATED files to add descriptions for links
     - if happy, run ./scripts/course_mgr --push 2010/seattle-intro

This will create a course index content item in content filed appropriately based on the metadata provided in course_config.yaml. It will also copy the files and directories you created into the output directory so that you can do a full preview after compiling the site.

If everything looks good, you can sync the data files to the web server (note that we do not put these files in git because large data files are not appropriate for git and they are not likely to change):

    ./scripts/course_mgr --push 2010/seattle-intro
    SYNC:
     src: ./seattle-intro
     dst: biocadmin@staging.bioconductor.org:/loc/www/bioconductor-test.fhcrc.org/help/course-materials/2010/
    NEXT STEPS: git add/commit changes in contents

Finally, "git add" the new course index html and yaml files that were generated in the content directory and commit.

Modifying an existing course

You can edit the pages for an existing course by editing the files in ./content. If you need to add or modify data files, run: ./scripts/course_mgr --pull 2010/course_to_modify

This will create a top-level directory called "course_to_modify". You
can then add or modify course material. When finished, run
  ./scripts/course_mgr --push 2010/course_to_modify

If you have changed the .md or .yaml files, do the following:
  cp course_to_modify/course_to_modify.* content/help/course_materials/2010
  git commit -m "made changes" content/help/course-materials/2010/course_to_modify

Adding course material to the spreadsheet

The page http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/ is built from the tab-delimited file etc/course_descriptions.tsv.

Add information to this file using a spreadsheet program (Excel, LibreOffice, etc.). Be sure to save in the original tsv format. Note that some spreadsheets insert non-ASCII characters which cause problems. Before committing your changes, check for this in R with:

tools::showNonASCII(readLines("etc/course_descriptions.tsv"))

And if it reports any non-ascii characters (it will show line numbers) fix these in a text editor before committing. Usually the culprit is a non-ascii hyphen that can be replaced with a regular hyphen.

Staging site scheduled update

The biocadmin user's crontab on staging.bioconductor.org is used to schedule site updates every twenty minutes. Below are some details on how the test site is configured.

The site source is located at ~biocadmin/bioc-test-web/bioconductor.org. The deploy_staging Rake task deploys site content to the staging server root on staging.

task :deploy_staging do
  dst = '/loc/www/bioconductor.org'
  site_config = YAML.load_file("./config.yaml")
  output_dir = site_config["output_dir"]
  system "rsync -gvprt --partial --exclude='.git' #{output_dir}/ #{dst}"
end

An update_site shell script updates from git, builds the site, and deploys it using Rake.

#!/bin/bash
cd bioconductor.org && \
  date && \
  git pull && \
  rake real_clean default deploy_staging deploy_production  && \
  date

We keep track of the output of in a local log/update_site.log file and handle log rotation using logrotate. For this we need a config file:

# logrotate.conf
/home/biocadmin/bioc-test-web/log/update_site.log {
  daily
  copytruncate
  rotate 30
  dateext
  compress
  missingok
  su biocadmin biocadmin
 }

The following crontab entries are used to schedule site update, deployment, and log rotation (biocadmin user):

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin
MAILTO=lori.shepherd@roswellpark.org

# bioconductor-test.fhcrc.org website publishing
*/20 * * * *  cd $HOME/bioc-test-web;./update_site >> log/update_site.log 2>&1
59 23 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -f -s /home/biocadmin/bioc-test-web/logrotateState /home/biocadmin/bioc-test-web/logrotateFiles

How to test for broken links

You can run wget as shown below to get a report on 404s for the site. Note that this runs against the staging site so will have a lot of false positives.

wget -r --spider -U "404 check with wget" -o wwwbioc.log http://master.bioconductor.org

Optimize redirects

Currently the redirects are defined using Apache's mod_rewrite in a top-level .htaccess file. This has the advantage of allowing easy revision of the rewrite rules via git that are picked up by Apache on site update. The downside is that using .htaccess files is suboptimal in terms of performance. So before the site is launched, consider the following changes:

Copy the directives in the top-level .htaccess file to the site's vhost config /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/bioconductor-test.conf.
Remove the .htaccess file
Edit the same vhosts.d config file to set Options to None for the top-level directory. This should disable .htaccess files as it isn't enough just to remove the .htaccess file itself.

Site Search

The site search contains several moving parts. The search is built on Apache Solr, which is in turn built on top of Apache Lucene.

How to configure Solr

The default SOLR installation works fine, with the exception of the file example/solr/conf/schema.xml which must be replaced with the version in this subversion repository at etc/solr.The changes in this file enable search query highlighting and snippets.

Solr can be started up as follows (SOLR_HOME is assumed to be the location where the solr tarball has been expanded):

cd $SOLR_HOME/example; java -jar start.jar

How to ensure that Solr is started up at boot time (on master and staging)

On both machines there is an /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local script which starts Solr as above.

How to configure the Apache web server to work with Solr

Using a2enmod, we added support for the "proxy" and "proxy_http" modules to the Apache web server. Then we added the following if it hasn't already to /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (master):

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
 Order deny,allow
 Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /solr/default/select http://localhost:8983/solr/default/select
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyStatus On

This means that all requests starting with "/solr" will go to the solr server on port 8983. This allows us to make requests to the search server without violating the "same-origin" policy.

How the client-side portion of the search works

The page /search/index.html includes some javascript (in the file js/search.html) which in turn uses jQuery. The code parses the arguments in the URL and then makes an AJAX request to the SOLR server which returns a JSON string. The javascript code converts that to an object and then renders the search response page.

How to rebuild the search index

Note that you typically do not want to do this by hand as it is handled by cron jobs (see below).

NOTE: this may need debugging for staging.bioconductor.org

from transition from merlot2

On staging.bioconductor.org (ssh to staging.bioconductor.org):

cd ~/biocadmin/bioc-test-web/bioconductor.org
rake index_production  (see also rake search_index)

What this command does:

Runs a Ruby class which determines which files need to be (re)indexed.
This uses a cache file containing the names of each file and their modification times as of the last time the script was run. If the cache file does not exist, all files are indexed. This class also handles new files and deletions.
The class actually does not do the indexing itself; it creates another script (index.sh -- created by scripts/search_indexer.rb) which does the actual indexing, which is accomplished by using curl to post files to the SOLR web app.

To re-index files on master, ssh to staging (not master) and do this:

cd ~/biocadmin/bioc-test-web/bioconductor.org
rake index_production

Cron jobs for rebuilding the search index/why it is decoupled from site update

Doing "crontab -l" on staging shows how the index us updated on master. Here are the relevant lines:

# create search index:
30 */4 * * * cd $HOME/bioc-test-web/bioconductor.org && rake index_production > $HOME/bioc-test-web/production_index.log 2>&1

Notice that the search indexing process is decoupled from the site building process (which takes place every 30 minutes). Site indexing can be a time-consuming process (especially on master) and the site rebuilding should be quick. So the search indexing takes place once a day on staging at 8 pm on master (where there are many more files to be indexed which originate from the build system).

BiocViews Pages

The BiocViews pages are generated by a three-step process:

Step 0: Obtain manifest git repository

The manifest git repository is available from the Bioconductor git server. It contains a list of all current Bioconductor packages. Make sure that it is in the same folder as the bioconductor.org repository checkout. To clone it, first ensure appropriate access rights and then run:

git clone git@git.bioconductor.org:admin/manifest.git

Step 1: rake get_json

This is run by a cron job on staging every day at between 3-8 PM EST (presumably after the build system has finished and copied all its output to master). Here is the cron job:

*/15 15-20 * * * cd $HOME/bioc-test-web; ./get_json.sh > $HOME/bioc-test-web/get_json.log 2>&1

This Rake target runs some R code which calls code in the BiocViews package, extracting /packagesdata in JSON format and putting it in assets/packages/json. Then a ruby script is run which processes that JSON into a format usable by the javascript tree widget.

If you want to run this target on your own machine, you need R available with the biocViews (Bioconductor) and rjson (CRAN) packages installed.

Step 2: Build package detail pages

This is done by nanoc and handled by the DataSource subclass BiocViews (found in lib/data_sources/bioc_views.rb). This data source uses the JSON files generated in the previous step to build a single page for each page, one for release and one for devel. The pages are rendered by the partial layouts/_bioc_views_package_detail.html.

Step 3: The BiocViews Hierarchy page

At http://bioconductor.org/packages. This page uses javascript to build the tree, reading in data generated in step 1. The relevant Javascript file is assets/js/bioc_views.js. The automatically generated (by rake) file output/js/versions.js is also sourced.

Updating the site during a release

Take a look at the config.yaml file in the root of the bioconductor.org working copy. This should be the only place you need to make changes.

Problem: Web site does not seem to be updating

Symptom: Commits you made are not going through, and/or the dashboard (http://bioconductor.org/dashboard/) says that the site has not been updated in over 20 minutes. It likely means that an error was introduced in a recent commit. (make sure you haven't forgotten to git add any files).

Solution: ssh to biocadmin@staging.bioconductor.org (ask Lori if you don't have permission to do so). Change directories:

cd ~/bioc-test-web

Look at the 2015 Oct 29 10:22:19 AM then its contents are relevant. You can also look at the last few lines of ./log/update_site.log.
