Installation Instructions

The DCM is designed to work on linux systems, and should work on most unixes. For non-development work, CentOS 6 or CentOS 7 are strongly recommended. Other versions and distributions should work, but you should know what you're doing.

This DCM creates OS accounts - install it on a stand-alone, disposable system

  • configure NFS mounts for /deposit (only needs to be accessable from the DCM) and /hold (needs to be shared by DCM and Dataverse). Note that it's possible to use AWS S3 instead of NFS if you follow the instrutions at aws-s3.md.
  • download RPM from the github release page
  • install RPM (and necessary dependencies). The EPEL repo is assumed to be available for these dependencies, but is not strictly required if you get the dependencies from elsewhere.
  • install pip dependencies (pip install -r /opt/dcm/requirements.txt)
  • copy /etc/dcm/rq-init-d to /etc/init.d/rq, and edit if necessary (which should only be necessary if you have installed in an unexpected manner).
  • copy /etc/dcm/lighttpd-conf-dcm to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf, and edit if necessary (in particulary, to restrict access to the Dataverse application server).
  • copy /etc/dcm/lighttpd-modules-dcm to /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf, and edit if necessary (which should only be necessary if you have installed in an unexpected manner).
  • copy /etc/dcm/dcm-rssh.conf to /etc/rssh.conf, and edit if necessary (which should only be necessary if you have installed in an unexpected manner).
  • configure sudo for lighttpd (see doc/config/sudoers-chage for an example that can be placed in /etc/sudoers.d) and edit if necessary (which should only be necessary if you have installed in an unexpected manner).
  • configure by (sigh) editing /root/.bashrc to set UPLOADHOST,DVAPIKEY,DVHOSTINT,DVHOST as described in dev-installation.md.
  • Start sshd, redis, rq, and lighttpd services; create cron job to run post_upload.bash.

These installation instructions are relatively recent, so please feel to open an issue in the github repo if you find any problems.
