README

Chef has been completely rewritten, this repository is now deprecated. The repository for the new Chef can be found at https://github.com/libremesh/chef/

Installation and configuration

This app is composed of two different parts, the web frontend (made using Django) and the binary firmware images builder (bash scripts that use OpenWrt's Image Builder).

Local installation for development

Clone or download the source code (i.e. to the alterchef folder):

clone https://github.com/libremesh/alterchef.git

If you want to run Chef using the Django development server first install Chef's dependencies in a virtual environment:

rtualenv alterchef
lterchef
install -r requirements.txt

Initialize the database and create the chef administrative user:

ltermeshfc
nage.py migrate --settings=altermeshfc.dev_settings
nage.py createsuperuser --settings=altermeshfc.dev_settings

Then run Django's web server:

nage.py runserver --settings=altermeshfc.dev_settings

If everything went good, you can now visit your Chef instance at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Next time you don't need to create the virtual environment again, just activate it by typing workon alterchef and run the web server again.

Installing & configuring the web app

To install the web app dependencies run pip install -r requeriments.txt inside a virtualenv. Then you can follow any howto that explains deploying Django. We recomend using gunicorn, nginx and runit. Here are some links:

The configuration of the webserver must include the downloads url. Nginx example:

tion /downloads {
# LIST_DIR_ROOT is in settings.py
alias /home/openwrt/downloads;
autoindex on;

There are some specific Django settings for this app that you must set. Installing in openwrt's home directory may look like this:

_SNAPSHOT = "bash /home/openwrt/altermeshfc/bin/make_snapshot" NETWORK_INCLUDES_PATH = "/home/openwrt/network_includes" LIST_DIR_ROOT = "/home/openwrt/downloads/"
set a default profile to use as based_on when creating a new profile
ULT_PROFILE_SLUG = 'altermesh-nodo'
