Another repo - https://github.com/EbookFoundation/regluit will eventually be the place for collaborative development for Unglue.it. Add issues and submit pull requests there. As of September 1, 2019, https://github.com/Gluejar/regluit is still being used for production builds.
The first version of the unglue.it codebase was a services-oriented project named "unglu".
We decided that "unglu" was too complicated, so we started over and named the new project "regluit".
regluit is a Django project that
contains four main applications: core
, frontend
, api
and payment
that can be deployed
and configured on as many ec2 instances that are needed to support traffic.
The partitioning between these modules is not as clean as would be ideal. payment
is particularly messy because we had to retool it twice because we had to switch from Paypal to Amazon Payments to Stripe.
regluit was originally developed on Django 1.3 (python 2.7) and currently runs on Django 1.11 Python 3.8).
Here are some instructions for setting up regluit for development on an Ubuntu system. If you are on OS X see notes below.
- Ensure MySQL 5.7 and Redis are installed & running on your system.
- Create a MySQL database and user for unglueit.
sudo apt-get upgrade gcc
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools git python-lxml build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3.8-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libmysqlclient-dev
sudo easy_install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
git clone git@github.com:Gluejar/regluit.git
cd regluit
mkvirtualenv regluit
pip install -r requirements.txt
add2virtualenv ..
cp settings/dev.py settings/me.py
mkdir settings/keys/
cp settings/dummy/* settings/keys/
- Edit
settings/me.py
with proper mysql and redis configurations. - Edit
settings/keys/common.py
andsettings/keys/host.py
with account and key information OR if you have the ansible vault password, runansible-playbook create_keys.yml
inside the vagrant directory. echo 'export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=regluit.settings.me' >> ~/.virtualenvs/regluit/bin/postactivate
deactivate ; workon regluit
django-admin.py migrate --noinput
django-admin.py loaddata core/fixtures/initial_data.json core/fixtures/bookloader.json
populate database with test data to run properly.redis-server
to start the task brokercelery -A regluit worker --loglevel=INFO
start the celery daemon to perform asynchronous tasks like adding related editions, and display logging information in the foreground. Add--logfile=logs/celery.log
if you want the logs to go into a log file.celery -A regluit beat --loglevel=INFO
to start the celerybeat daemon to handle scheduled tasks.django-admin.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
(you can change the port number from the default value of 8000)- make sure a redis server is running
- Point your browser to http://localhost:8000/
CSS development
- We used Less version 2.8 for CSS. http://incident57.com/less/. We use minified CSS.
- New CSS development is using SCSS. Install libsass and django-compressor.
See http://github.com/EbookFoundation/regluit-provisioning
To run regluit on OS X you should have XCode installed
Install MySQL:
brew install mysql@5.7
mysql_secure_installation
mysqld_safe --user=root -p
We use pyenv and pipenv to set up an environment.
Edit or create .bashrc in ~ to enable virtualenvwrapper commands:
-
pipenv install -r requirements.txt
-
Edit .zshrc to include the following lines:
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/10/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH
export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=PATH_TO_VAULT_PASSWORD
If you get EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
you might need to set a path to mysqlconfig
You may need to set utf8 in /etc/my.cnf collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server = utf8
- Get the MARCXML record for the print edition from the Library of Congress.
- Find the book in catalog.loc.gov
- Click on the permalink in its record (will look something like lccn.loc.gov/2009009516)
- Download MARCXML
- At /marc/ungluify/ , enter the unglued edition in the Edition field, upload file, choose license
- The XML record will be automatically...
- converted to suitable MARCXML and .mrc records, with both direct and via-unglue.it download links
- written to S3
- added to a new instance of MARCRecord
- provided to ungluers at /marc/
- Use /admin to create a new MARC record instance
- Upload the MARC records to s3 (or wherever)
- Add the URLs of the .xml and/or .mrc record(s) to the appropriate field(s)
- Select the relevant edition
- Select an appropriate marc_format:
- use DIRECT if it links directly to the ebook file
- use UNGLUE if it links to the unglue.it download page
- if you have records with both DIRECT and UNGLUE links, you'll need two MARCRecord instances
- if you have both kinds of link, put them in separate records, as marc_format can only take one value
ungluify_record.py
should only be used to modify records of print editions of unglued ebooks. It will not produce appropriate results for CC/PD ebooks.
- Get a contract cataloger to produce quality records (.xml and .mrc formats)
- we are using ung[x] as the format for our accession numbers, where [x] is the id of the MARCRecord instance, plus leading zeroes
- Upload those records to s3 (or wherever)
- Create a MARCRecord instance in /admin
- Add the URLs of the .xml and .mrc records to the appropriate fields
- Select the relevant edition
- Select an appropriate marc_format:
- use DIRECT if it links directly to the ebook file
- use UNGLUE if it links to the unglue.it download page
- if you have records with both DIRECT and UNGLUE links, you'll need two MARCRecord instances
- if you have both kinds of link, put them in separate records, as marc_format can only take one value
- Many migration blockers were removed by by dumping, then restoring the database.
- After that, RDS was able to migrate
- needed to create the unglueit user from the mysql client
