Running a SciOp Instance
Please see full instructions in the contributing docs
Installing
First, make sure that you have Python installed. Sciop requires Python version >= 3.11.
Then, clone the repository. If you plan to work on sciop, please consider creating a fork and cloning your fork:
git clone https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/sciop
cd sciop
With pip
Make a Python virtual environment and activate it:
python -m venv ~/.envs/sciop
. ~/.envs/sciop/bin/activate
The example above created a venv in your home directory.
Install sciop in editable mode and it's dependencies into your virtual environment:
pip install -e .
Note:
sciop is available on PyPI.
However, while we are in beta development, we do not regularly deploy versions there. Installing from this repository is strongly recommended.
python -m pip install sciop
With PDM
Install dependencies, automatically creating a virtual environment by default
pdm install
Configuration
All of the following commands can be run either with a venv or pdm install,
though only the venv version is shown.
For PDM installs, just prepend pdm run like pdm run sciop start
Create a default configuration:
# to see all config commands,
# sciop config --help
sciop config copy
Two fields must be set:
SCIOP_ENV/env: one ofdev,testorprod. One should only make a sciop instance publicly available inprodmode.devmode is for local development purposes, as istest. You must ensure that you do not re-use the same db between adev/testandprodinstance, e.g. if theSCIOP_DBlocation is explicitly set to something other than the defaults.SCIOP_SECRET_KEY/secret_key: must be a securely-generated random hex value. A key can be generated withopenssl rand -hex 32.
When generated from the cli, env is set to dev,
and secret_key is automatically generated.
Run the dev sever
# see available CLI commands
# sciop --help
sciop start
