API to save and access data from deployed sensors in cities all around Africa.

The API is documented here.

Gitignore is standardized for this project using gitignore.io to support various development platforms. To get the project up and running:

Clone this repo

Use virtualenv to create your virtual environment; virtualenv venv

Activate the virtual environment; source venv/bin/activate

Install feinstaub; pip install git+https://github.com/opendata-stuttgart/feinstaub-api

Install the requirements; pip install .

Create a sensorsafrica database with the following sql script:

CREATE DATABASE sensorsafrica; CREATE USER sensorsafrica WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'sensorsafrica'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE sensorsafrica TO sensorsafrica;

Migrate the database; python manage.py migrate

Run the server; python manage.py runserver

Using docker compose:

Build the project; docker-compose build or make build

Run the project; docker-compose up -d or make up

Docker compose make commands:

make up - run docker and detach

make log - tail logs

make test - run test

make migrate - migrate database

make createsuperuser - create a super user for admin

make enter - enter docker shell

make django - enter docker django shell

NOTE: docker-compose is strictly for development and testing purposes. The Dockerfile is written for production since dokku is being used and it will look for Dockerfile.

Virtual Environment; pytest --pylama

Docker; docker-compose run api pytest --pylama

NOTE: If entrypoint and start scripts are changed, make sure they have correct/required permissions since we don't grant permissions to the files using the Dockerfile. Run the commands:

chmod +x contrib/entrypoint.sh chmod +x contrib/start.sh

On your local machine run:

git remote add dokku dokku@dokku.me:sensorsafrica-api git push dokku master

For more information read Deploying to Dokku.

This project uses celery to create cronjobs and flower to monitor the cron jobs as a web admin. To create your jobs, add the task to the tasks.py and CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE in settings.py.

Everything starts automatically as setup in the contrib/start.sh:

celery -A sensorsafrica beat -l info &> /src/logs/celery.log & celery -A sensorsafrica worker -l info &> /src/logs/celery.log & celery -A sensorsafrica flower --basic_auth=$SENSORSAFRICA_FLOWER_ADMIN_USERNAME:$SENSORSAFRICA_FLOWER_ADMIN_PASSWORD &> /src/logs/celery.log &

Note: If you run the project in the virtualenv you will have to start rabbitmq and pass that link to settings by the env variable SENSORSAFRICA_RABBITMQ_URL

It starts up in in the contrib/start.sh:

... celery -A sensorsafrica flower --basic_auth=$SENSORSAFRICA_FLOWER_ADMIN_USERNAME:$SENSORSAFRICA_FLOWER_ADMIN_PASSWORD &> /src/logs/celery.log &

Provide channel webhook as an enivronment variable SENSORSAFRICA_CELERY_SLACK_WEBHOOK. The default options are used:

Set the enivronment variable SENSORSAFRICA_SENTRY_DSN.

opendata-stuttgart/feinstaub-api prefer generating and applying migration to the database at the point of deployment (probably to reduce the number of changes to be applied). We, on the other hand, prefer the Django recommended approach of creating and reviewing migration files at the development time, and then applying the same migration files to different environments; dev, staging and eventually production.

Hence, with any contribution, include both sensors.AFRICA-api and opendata-stuttgart/feinstaub-api migration files by running python manage.py makemigrations command before creating a PR.
