Installation instructions? about go-evepraisal HOT 6 CLOSED

This is a server-side tool, meaning that its primary use-case is to be the code that powers evepraisal.com. I'm hosting the code publicly so that others can re-host the site if I get hit by a bus or something.

There a couple reasons I haven't responded to this particular post yet:

1. I've just not done the packaging required to make the install process painless for people who aren't familiar with go. I've been meaning to do that but since it's so far away from the purpose of this repo that I'd spend the rare moments that I have to work on this project adding features instead.
2. I'm not really sure where you're coming from in terms of experience. I've only run this on linux and OSX so I can't guarantee that it will even halfway work on Windows. Are you looking for just hosting it locally for only you to mess around with or are you intending to host a clone of evepraisal with a different URL? I'm totally cool with people doing either. I know there are a couple clones that use the older python-based code. Again, however, this use-case isn't the primary goal of this project.

And to address your last comment, no, this project is not dead. I'd hope you can see that by the fact that there's been recent feature additions to evepraisal as recent as 3 days ago. Here are very crude, untested instructions. Again, I don't know if you want to host this just for yourself or to be a 'production' system so there's some notes for both but it's far from comprehensive.

Getting it to run

1. Install go
2. Checkout the repo into your GOPATH (assumes that gopath is set)

git clone https://github.com/evepraisal/go-evepraisal.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/evepraisal/go-evepraisal
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/evepraisal/go-evepraisal

3. Download dependencies:

make setup

4. Run it in a non-production way

make run

Production Server

This is what I have documented for setting up a new evepraisal server. My notes have significantly more setup but those parts are centered around security and ensuring backups:

useradd -r evepraisal
mkdir /etc/evepraisal
mkdir /usr/local/evepraisal
mkdir /usr/local/evepraisal/db
chown -R evepraisal:evepraisal /usr/local/evepraisal

After that, I just run make deploy-prod which will builds the binary file (specifically for 64-bit linux because I develop on a mac) and then runs ./scripts/deploy.sh with a couple environment variables. This script uploads the systemd service file and copies the binary file up to the server and then restarts the service.

@Traace I changed the makefile to not require supporting binaries to live in $GOPATH. Pull from master and that should work for you now.

im looking for that too!

So, I assume that this is YAAEP? (Yet Another Abandoned Eve Project)

Thank you very much. I'm not trying to run this on Windows at all. :) If I attempt this, it will be on a Linux server

from go-evepraisal.

make deploy-prod doesn't work on my vanilla install of openSuse

running "/usr/share/go/1.9/contrib/bin/go-bindata": fork/exec /usr/share/go/1.9/contrib/bin/go-bindata: no such file or directory

The makefile seems to have expectations on where go-bindata is supposed to be. But gobin should be /usr/bin

As a workaround i just copied go-bindata from /usr/bin to /usr/share/go/1.9/contrib/bin/.

Its running as service now, great
