Configuration files of https://eventos.lhc.net.br - the public calendar of all events and activities of LHC. It uses Gancio and it is accessible to any person that wants to schedule some activity or event in the hackerspace.
If you want to use it in your own organization, you can use this repository and this blog post as reference. Also, you can keep in touch with LHC members to get more info how to manage it.
The application is running in a fly.io account. If you are planning to upgrade it, ask some member of LHC board to get access credentials.
Before start using fly.io, you need to authenticate with the right credentials. Use the command bellow and follow the instructions:
$ flyctl auth login
When everything is configured as desired, deploy to production using the command:
flyctl deploy --verbose
This command will show the status of the application:
flyctl status
This command will show the logs of the application:
flyctl logs
We use SQLite as database because this is not a website that will have a significant traffic, so keeping all the data in the filesystem is enough.
Volumes are used to store the database, uploaded files and logs. fly.io performs regular snapshots that can be used as one source of backups. However, if we want to download the content of the volume to our local computer we need to execute the following steps:
- In your local machine, access the application shell using the command:
fly ssh console -C bash
- The data we want to download is mounted in
/data/directory. Run the following command to generate a file containing all the content of this directory:
tar czf "/root/gancio_data_$(date +%F).tar.gz" /data
- Disconnect from the app and in your local machine run the following command to download the file you generated:
fly ssh sftp get "/root/gancio_data_$(date +%F).tar.gz"
Watch gancio.org page to know when a new version is available. Before
upgrading it, create a local backup of /data/ directory in your local machine following the instructions
of the previous section.
The Dockerfile used, gets the latest version of Gancio, so you just need to redeploy the application in fly.io and we should have the new version applied correctly.
If you want to redeploy a specific version (e.g. to revert the upgrade), change the content of the Dockerfile to fetch the desired version.
