# OpenBikeSensor Portal
This repository contains the source code required to run the
[OpenBikeSensor](https://openbikesensor.org) data collection portal. It is
separated into components:
* **api**: The backend service, written in Python 3 with
[Sanic](https://sanicframework.org/),
[SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/), and a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database
for storage. It also depends highly on
[OpenMapTiles](https://openmaptiles.org) to generate vector tiles of the
data.
* **frontend**: A React single-page application that allows access to the data,
provides summaries and visualizations, and lets users adjust settings and
manage and publish their tracks.
Check out the [Architecture Documentation](docs/architecture.md) for more
details on what parts the whole application is made of.
This project follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). Refer to [issue
#44](https://github.com/openbikesensor/portal/issues/44) for a description of
what that means for our project and what is considered the public interface.
## Clone the Project
First of all, you must clone this project. This project uses submodules,
thus ensure, that they are cloned as well:
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/openbikesensor/portal
# ... or if you forgot the --recursive argument, you can run this in the
# repository's directory later:
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
## Production setup
There is a guide for a deployment based on docker in the
[deployment](deployment) folder. Lots of non-docker deployment strategy are
possible, but they are not "officially" supported, so please do not expect the
authors of the software to assist in troubleshooting.
This is a rather complex application, and it is expected that you know the
basics of deploying a modern web application securely onto a production server.
We are sorry that we cannot guide you through all the details of that, as we
just don't have the capacities to do so. Please research the respective topics
first. If you struggle with application-specific issues, please let us know, we
might be able to assist with those.
Please note that you will always need to install your own reverse proxy that
terminates TLS for you and handles certificates. We do not support TLS directly
in the application, instead, please use this prefered method.
Upgrading and migrating is descrube
### Migrating (Production)
Migrations are done with
[Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/index.html), please refer to
its documentation for help. Most of the time, running this command will do all
the migrations you need:
```bash
docker-compose run --rm api tools/upgrade.py
```
This command is equivalent to running migrations through *alembic*, then
regenerating the SQL functions that compute vector tiles directly in the
database:
```bash
# equivalent to the above command, you don't usually run these
docker-compose run --rm api alembic upgrade head
docker-compose run --rm api tools/prepare_sql_tiles
```
docker-compose run --rm api alembic upgrade head
### Upgrading from v0.2 to v0.3
After v0.2 we switched the underlying technology of the API and the database.
We now have no more MongoDB, instead, everything has moved to the PostgreSQL
installation. For development setups, it is advised to just reset the whole
state (remove the `local` folder) and start fresh. For production upgrades,
please follow the relevant section in [`UPGRADING.md`](./UPGRADING.md).
## Development setup
We've moved the whole development setup into Docker to make it easy for
everyone to get involved.
### Install docker
Please [install Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) as well as
[Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) onto your machine.
Then clone the repository as described above.
### Configure Keycloak
Login will not be possible until you configure the keycloak realm correctly. Boot your keycloak instance:
```bash
docker-compose up -d keycloak
```
Now navigate to http://localhost:3003/ and follow these steps:
- Click *Administration Console* and log in with `admin` / `admin`.
- Hover over the realm name on the top left and click *Add realm*.
- Name the Realm `obs-dev` (spelling matters) and create it.
- In the sidebar, navigate to *Configure* → *Clients*, and click *Create* on the top right.
- *Client ID* should be `portal`. Click *Save*.
- In the Tab *Settings*, edit the new client's *Access Type* to *confidential*
and enter as *Valid Redirect URIs*: `http://localhost:3000/login/redirect`,
then *Save*
- Under *Credentials*, copy the *Secret*. Create a file at `api/config.overrides.py` with the secret in it:
```python
KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET="your secret here"
```
You can use this file in development mode to change settings without editing
the git-controlled default file at `api/config.dev.py`. Options in this file
take precendence.
- In the sidebar, navigate to *Manage* → *Users*, and click *Add user* on the top right.
- Give the user a name (e.g. `test`), leave the rest as-is.
- Under the tab *Credentials*, choose a new password, and make it
non-temporary. Click *Set Password*.
We are going to automate this process. For now, you will have to repeat it
every time you reset your keycloak settings, which are stored inside the
PostgreSQL as well. Luckily, the script `api/tools/reset_database.py` does
*not* affect the state of the keycloak database, so this should be rather rare.
### Prepare database
Start the PostgreSQL database:
```bash
docker-compose up -d postgres
```
The first time you start postgres, a lot of extensions will be installed. This
takes a while, so check the logs of the docker container until you see:
> PostgreSQL init process complete; ready for start up.
If you don't wait long enough, the following commands might fail. In this case,
you can always stop the container, remove the data directory (`local/postgres`)
and restart the process.
Next, run the upgrade command to generate the database schema:
```bash
docker-compose run --rm api tools/upgrade.py
```
You will need to re-run this command after updates, to migrate the database and
(re-)create the functions in the SQL database that are used when generating
vector tiles.
You should also import OpenStreetMap data now, see below for instructions.
### Boot the application
Now you can run the remaining parts of the application:
```bash
docker-compose up -d --build api worker frontend
```
Your frontend should be running at http://localhost:3001 and the API at
http://localhost:3000 -- but you probably only need to access the frontend for
testing.
### Migrating (Development)
Migrations are done with
[Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/index.html), please refer to
its documentation for help. Most of the time, running this command will do all
the migrations you need:
```bash
docker-compose run --rm api alembic upgrade head
```
## Import OpenStreetMap data
You need to import road information from OpenStreetMap for the portal to work.
This information is stored in your PostgreSQL database and used when processing
tracks (instead of querying the Overpass API), as well as for vector tile
generation. The process applies to both development and production setups. For
development, you should choose a small area for testing, such as your local
county or city, to keep the amount of data small. For production use you have
to import the whole region you are serving.
* Install `osm2pgsql`.
* Download the area(s) you would like to import from [GeoFabrik](https://download.geofabrik.de).
* Import each file like this:
```bash
osm2pgsql --create --hstore --style roads_import.lua -O flex \
-H localhost -d obs -U obs -W \
path/to/downloaded/myarea-latest.osm.pbf
```
You might need to adjust the host, database and username (`-H`, `-d`, `-U`) to
your setup, and also provide the correct password when queried. For the
development setup the password is `obs`. For production, you might need to
expose the containers port and/or create a TCP tunnel, for example with SSH,
such that you can run the import from your local host and write to the remote
database.
The import process should take a few seconds to minutes, depending on the area
size. A whole country might even take one or more hours. You should probably
not try to import `planet.osm.pbf`.
You can run the process multiple times, with the same or different area files,
to import or update the data. However, for this to work, the actual [command
line arguments](https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#running-osm2pgsql) are a
bit different each time, including when first importing, and the disk space
required is much higher.
Refer to the documentation of `osm2pgsql` for assistance. We are using "flex
mode", the provided script `roads_import.lua` describes the transformations
and extractions to perform on the original data.
## Troubleshooting
If any step of the instructions does not work for you, please open an issue and
describe the problem you're having, as it is important to us that onboarding is
super easy :)
### Connecting to the PostgreSQL database
If you need to connect to your development PostgreSQL database, you should
install `psql` locally. The port 5432 is already forwarded, so you can connect with:
```
psql -h localhost -U obs -d obs
```
The password is `obs` as well.
